hmmmm... maybe because the pet i make for 5.2 contain part of lucid 5.2 which broken the program when installed on 528 ?
because now the size of 528 pet were around 16M, when pet for 5.2 is 23 M.

thank for the info, i guess dpup bluetooth will work too in 528, and that will give more option for puppy user to handle bluetooth.

I downloaded things from the first post.

Use the Bluetooth connection manager in the System Status menu to setup your devices.

Works with my machine no problem.
You may want to reboot after install.

Greetings.
I'm running lupu 5.2.8 on my laptop.
I have just installed the new python 2.6 and blueman 1.2.1 (both for 528) from the 1st page.
From my understanding I don't need to install BlueZ, do I?
But when I try to load the "Bluetooth Manager" I get this error message.
Hope someone can help me.
Cheers

Come on guys, please give me a hand.
I've talked to exxtreme down at the IRC channel and he told me he ran into the same issue that I did.
I must be missing some package that you guys have on your system.
Cheers

@Master_wrong,

Could you please try your blueman+python on a fresh new frugal lupu528 with a brand new savefile without any other pets than blueman+python?
Can you make a flash video of what you do?
I just can't replicate your success on my lupu528.
Cheers

@john
why is your lupu 528 looks like 520 ?
as i know 528 looks like this...
http://puppylinux.org/main/Download%20Latest%20Release.htm

if it is different then it may never work because it was compiled specifically on it, i suggest you to compile from the source... its not that difficult it only takes time.

I haven't installed lucid 528 yet - first thing to check it it has the needed bluetooth kernel modules in /lib/modules/2.6.39.4/kernel/net/bluetooth
(2.6.39.4 will be different number as Lucid pup uses different kernel)
bluetooth.ko bnep hidp rfcomm modules are needed for bluetooth.

If if is just simple file transer you are after:
Dpup bluetooth.pet worked in Lucid 525 so if the needed modules are included in 528 that this .pet will probably work in Lucid 528 as well.

Install bluetooth.pet > reboot.

I checked your links

when I type hciconfig I get message command not found
looks like I am missing some files or something

or it's a driver problem
