Getting the bluetooth working with Gutsy Gibbon
January 23, 2008
This is a small tutorial to setup the bluetooth device to handle the obex file transfer system on gutsy.
Plug in/switch on the bluetooth adapter. Now the os pops in a bluetooth applet at the notification area. If not open terminal and key in
bluetooth-applet
Then right click at the bluetooth notification icon and select preferences and set the desired settings like name of the system, the discovery settings, and even pair the peripherals.
Now when you need to browse a blutooth device filesystem right click on the icon and select browse device.
Remember to switch on the peripheral and turn on the discovery.
but when you try to connect it will ask you to check the address spelling.
open terminal and install gnome-vfs-obexftp
apt-get install gnome-vfs-obexftp
unplug the bluetooth adapter and replug it.
right click on the notification icon and select browse device. select the peripheral. and you have your required filesystem in front.
