I've managed rip the Gnome out of bluez-gnome. This is very experimental but works ok on my machine so let me know how you fare with it.

Install dbus first, then the other pets.

The bluetooth-wizard will crash if you try to run it without a bluetooth adapter or if your adapter is disabled in the bios.

The bluez-gnome pet puts a script called bluetooth in /root/Startup. If you don't want bluetooth to automatically start, move the script somewhere else.

Edit 1/09/10: updated bluez-gnome pet and removed obexd pet. Obex transfer from remote devices should now work. Sending to remote devices from Puppy still doesn't work. Files appear in /root/bluetooth-share. Also place any files you want to retrieve on a remote device in /root/bluetooth-share.

1/10/10 fixed possible problem with bluez-gnome pet

Hi, jemimah,

Looks very good. I already have bluetooth working with my E90, so will try your pets/gui when fluppy comes (can't wait for that kernel )

For your Nokia, I assume you've tried the bluetooth browser:

obexftp-frontend-0.6.6-bin.pet

at:

http://dotpups.de/puppy4/dotpups/Network/

Works like a charm, once things are installed/paired/etc.

The nokia is not mine, the scan picked it up from a coworkers desk. I've been force-upgraded to the iphone has pitiful bluetooth support.

I will check that obex pet. It's probably better than the gnome obex gui. The gnoem obex browser depends on Nautilus, so it'd be sweet to have an alternative.

I did not know that the Iphone had cranky bluetooth. The file-browsing pet I recommend does well by both my Nokia 9300 and E90, and if I'm not mistaken, is for Nokia only.

I installed all six pets plus the GUI to Puppy Linux 4.0.

I've got a menu option for Network/OBEXFTP front end and System/system status and config/Bluetooth wizard, analyzer, properties, and send to.

Clicking on any of the options does nothing, near as I can tell.

Please help.

I'm trying to use an AZIO USB bluetooth adapter to talk to a Samsung a900 "Blade" phone...

I've only tested this on 4.3 and bluetooth is fairly complex so you'll have to bear with me. It's probable that it won't even work at all on 4.0.

First make sure bluetooth is not disabled in your bios, and that the kernel module 'btusb' has loaded. Check that dbus-daemon has started and that bluetoothd has started. Then run bluetooth-wizard from the command line and see if it gives you a useful error.

hey its work... but its nedeed obex file tranfer.

iwas added obex from ubuntu package...

here is screenshot

[jemimah]

Pri, can you post detailed instructions for how you did that? I looked into compiling gnome-obex-server, but it has too many dependencies. You just copied the binary from Ubuntu and it worked?

[pri]

i was using puppy 4.3.0 upgrade to 4.3.1 and using deb2pet

i was courius about bluetooth for along time ago on puppy. and instaled an gnome bluetooth. but frustasing and found this page of your.

for you try to download this gnome bluetooth
http://packages.debian.org/lenny/gnome-bluetooth

after instaled all of your bluetooth pet. and in console try to type

gnome-obex-server

then come out a new icon beside bluetooth as in picture.

if nothing wrong when you type on consol then your bluetooth is ready.

if there is a mising library, on that page also have all library.

[jemimah]

Did you need a lot of extra libraries? or only a couple?

[pri]

here is the list i was download. and if there is missing mybe another that i cant know because i was instaled many from debian. my be tomorow i will try to instaled from clean puppy

and this is screenshot of my bluetooth. i was using compatible windows bluetooth. if atached to windows does'nt need extra software

[jemimah]

Well that's very interesting. It looks like those packages will downgrade you to bluez-3 so you probably don't need my bluez pets at all to use the deb packages like that. When I get time, I'll have to see if I can come up with a lighter obex solution that works. If you start /usr/libexec/obexd manually it seems like it's going to work, but at least on my computer the pairing sequence goes wrong somehow.

[pri]

here is missing library
tested on puppy 4.1.2 browserlinux

for some lib need to make a symlink.

to transfer to komputer make script from this :
gnome-obex-server

to send to other device :
gnome-obex-send

and i must got sleep. its already morning in my time

[pri]

sory ... there is i was forget :
i was using plug and play bluetooth not widcom or bluesoleil

so for other bluetooth is waiting for sharing report
