Stu90, great news, I cant much test my self these bluetooth things.
Code: Select all
# modprobe rfcomm

No errors, it just loads.

No rfcomm errors my end - i just have bluetooth.pet and your bluetooth-modules.pet installed.

pemasu, I am indeed in 5X7 SMP.
So this does matter.
Will install 5X7 (no SMP) then.

Beem. Yep. 5.X.7 SMP is multicore and 5.X.7 is intel atom optimized, not much other difference, but that cpu optimization itself makes the difference.
SMP version is more or less my test bed, maybe I will update and improve it, but for generic support, plain 5.X.7 and this thread is the main route.

Now I will start to improve my previous libreoffice mime handlers pet.

Libre Office mime improvement pet has been updated.

Mime type bindings for libreoffice, also rox right clicks. After installing this pet Libreffice opens doc, docx, rtf, xls, xlsx, ppt, pptx.
Rox right clicks have more options depending on file type.

Use this pet only and when you have Libre Office installed and you prefer Libre Office to open the supported file types.

About bluetooth. E17 has bluetooth module. You need to enable that module and then add it as gadget to the Ibar.

Of course bluetooth modules needs to be loaded, bluetoothd running or whatever, but then you can test and play with e17 bluetooth module. I think it uses bluez but that is needed anyway, I think.

I found out why e17 loses gtk theme setting. It seems that wmswitcher dynamically deletes the existing one by deleting /root/.gtkrc-2.0 file.
So...I fixed the .xinitrc to restore .gtkrc-2.0 file.

Now when you switch between wm`s, e17 should have gtk theme enabled.

So I installed 5X7.
With the sfs created it didn't work quite out.
So I installed the pet and loaded rfcomm.
Now I can browse and the services are listed.

But I still can't pair the PC and the phone.
So I can't transfer files or other things.

Somewhere there is a pin code to enter.

I tried bluetooth-agent but get:

Code: Select all

# bluetooth-agent xxxx K700i
bluetoothd[16464]: pin_code_request (sba=00:11:67:9E:02:E6, dba=00:16:20:19:E8:89)
bluetoothd[16464]: No agent available for 0 request

Thus obex isn't working.

And now my phone doesn't see the PC any more.
I probably have to reboot to reset some values.

I cant help with connection problems, but did you reboot after installing the pets. It is definitively needed also so that bluetooth device is recognized and needed modules are loaded correctly.

#999 Post by **BÃ©Ã¨m** » Wed 21 Sep 2011, 19:05

I know you can't help and don't expect you do so, but as stu90 passes here also I continued to report.
Now if you think it is not appropriate, I'll stop posting here.
But my story could be interesting for other exprimo users.

And yes I rebooted.

But slowly making progress.
I did all the test in E17 and all of a sudden I thought I'd try in JWM.
So I switched.
I have the BT icon in the tray.
When I try to connect to the phone I am offered a pin-code to enter in the phone. In fact the same as in Fluppy.

Once done I have connection to the phone and can sent a file to it.
But when I try to browse the phone, that doesn't work.

I wanted to try stu90's method with fusermount, but the example he gave was for unmounting not mounting. So I tried:

Code: Select all

# fusermount  -o /root/bluetooth
fusermount: missing mountpoint argument
#

But don't know what to put as mountpoint argument.

beem, try looking in your phone settings to make sure blue tooth is visable .

pemasu · #1001 Post by **pemasu** » Wed 21 Sep 2011, 19:11

Beem. By all means, do report your progress, failures, trials, I am sure many follow it.
I just meant what I said, my own competence is not adequate, but it does not disturb me or this thread when you report.
And you are right, stu90`s is good advicer in bluetooth connection problems.
Please, continue to ask and report. Many will benefit this now and later....

beem. Mount info is in my post on last page about half way down. Posting from my phone so cant cut and paste rite right now.

Thank you, stu90
I did misinterpret the mount issue.

It's working now and I have my phones directory hierarchy in /root/bluetooth.

So conclusion so far.
In JWM these function push/pull work.
Apparently in E17 there is a problem.

Next challenge is to use DUN and connect a comm port to my Phone Explorer program, which is running in Wine.

Beem, could you put together the procedures you did to get it working.
Simple, tight description is ok.

Well in fact I followed what stu90 did, but I will make something up in one document.
However the pin-code part is still fuzzy.
Sometimes I was offered to enter a pin and sometimes I had to use the one of the phone.
So I'll look into this to be sure I have a fool proof thing to write.

More good news.

I went to the forum for the my phone explorer software.
I found the procedure to bind the rfcomm to the wine com1.
So my software in wine connects to the phone now and I can use it in wine instead of Windows.

Also would you have an explanation that this bluetooth didn't work in E17

stu90 · #1006 Post by **stu90** » Thu 22 Sep 2011, 11:40

Hi Béèm,
Glad you managed to get it working

Here is a general guide for setting up bluetooth.

regarding pin - on my phone (Nokia N95) in the bluetooth settings there is a settings menu for 'my phones visibility' containing three options ( i presume bluetooth settings on phones are much the same across different phones?):

Show to all: (means the phone is visible to every one like a wifi hotspot)
Define period: (means the phone is visible only for a defined period of time)
Hidden: (means no one can see your bluetooth that includes your computer if you haven't set up a bluetooth connection)

The best setting in my opinion to use here for establishing a bluetooth connection with your computer is Define period: then set the defined period of visibility to 5 minutes (shuld be long enough to set up the bluetooth connection) - after the 5 minutes your phone will switch back to being hidden meaning other in the local vicinity can't see your phone.

Note: If after the 5 minutes Defined period your phone switches back to Hidden and you haven't yet set up a bluetooth connection your computer will no longer be able to see the phone, if your computer cant see the phone you wont be able to set up a bluetooth connection - so you will need to set the Defined period again.

Now run through the bluetooth connection gui on the PC (right click on the bluetooth tray icons - 'set up new device') select your phone in the device window and click Forward - you should now be prompted with a pin on your PC screen and a Pin entry on your phone - enter the Pin number you see on your PC screen into the phone - once this is done go back to your phones bluetooth options and look for paired device
you should see your PC's name, you want to set this as an Authorized device
this is so you dont have to set up a new bluetooth connection or agree to accept file transfers and the like each time you connect your phone via bluetooth to your PC.

Part 2 to come - mounting phone as a drive.

Thank you stu90.
That's pretty much how I do it in JWM. (E17 no-go

)
But I had two cases for the pin-code.
1° I am proposed a pin xxxxxx to enter when going to the phone. The same pin as in fluppy 13 btw.
2° I am proposed to enter the pin in the dialogue. in that case I have to enter the one of the phone when powering up.

As I tried different things (finding the PC device from the phone or finding the device from the PC) I don't remember anymore in which case I had 1° or 2°.

So I'll go over the possibilities again.

A bit of D-lite minimalist tweaking of Exprimo

Stu90. Dpups has really shown their flexibility for different wm`s and outlooks, lol.
Looks good.
Hmmm, we should produce one click pet installations for various desktop, app, wm`s.
Stu90`s D-lite look, Next WM look etc....
Just brainstorming. Nothing serious.
