Always, this area's grey for me but we can check if Bluetooth's running.

Go into system >> bootmanager configure bootup.. it should be- running.

*Or if so inclined: ps -Al | grep -i bluetooth from a shell..

Then if you open a shell'n type: hcitool -i dev

.. is there output?

Yes? Then: hcitool scan and post the results.

Failing these, do we have a listing if we enter: lsusb

By the way, Bluez is in Lucid's PPM.

For now though, you can leave what's already installed alone-e..

hi Seeme ...
here's what i did ..

open rox terrm / console
typed hcitool -i dev
nothing happend ..
no command found error ..

BTW in linux mint i just pair bluetooth device and it says me wheter i want it ti use as modem to access internet or not , isn't anything easy avilable for puppy linux too ?

i have paired my bluetooth device with my old desk succesfully i can send files also , i can even connect with pan0 network , but still i am lost on what to do to access internet ? ..................

[Semme]

"Typed: hcitool -i dev nothing happened.." cause you haven't yet installed Bluez?

If you go into setup >> internet connection wizard and try one of the modem choices under "connect to," does Pup find your device and offer to continue with it's configuration?

How about system >> status >> hardinfo.. we have a Bluetooth listing?

What kind of a phone/device is this mobile of yours?

[alwaysalonee]

hi seeme

oops sorry now i installed bluez with all other pets but when i install libxcb.pet puppy just hangs up but still i can set pan network and send files ..

i checked on hardinfo and it shows my bluetooth device but hcitool -i dev says no device found and i cant see bluetooth running or not in bootmanager configure bootup also but it should be running bcoz i got BT tray icon in tint2

[Semme]

Like I said, this is grey area for me. What we need is some intervention...

Tell me though, is this dongle plugged before you boot or do you insert it after the system's up?

If the former, try the latter..

Guessing you might need a driver, is there output from this cmd: lspci -nn | grep -i bluetooth

[alwaysalonee]

hi seeme thanks for help

i run hcitool scan command and it gave me that ..

sh-4.1# hcitool -i dev
Invalid device: No such device
sh-4.1# hcitool scan
Scanning ...
18:14:56:CA:9E:42 Yo

'Yo' is my mobile bt name so may be its connected ?

Tell me though, is this dongle plugged before you boot or do you insert it after the system's up? ==> yes dongle plugged before i boot , but the dongle is detected ,theres no problem with that the problem is how to connect to the internet using bluetooth for mobile's GPRS plan .. ? !!


edit : it asks for pan in 2nd not 3rd option that's not working tho ..

[Semme]

Did that scan list a phone on the end?

Did this return a device?

[alwaysalonee]

hi seeme

seems like problem is with dbus ..




and i run all commands you said here's result

sh-4.1# hcitool scan
Scanning ...
18:14:56:CA:9E:42 Yo

Always- while the hciconfig looks promising, let's take a step back and adjust our sails, OK.

Uninstall anything you might've installed from Jemimah's post and post back when you're ready.

==

If you haven't rebooted since your last visit, I'd suggest you do so.

And since I'm unsure which of the five ppp_* modules, if any, your phone might need I'll suggest you plug your phone in after this boot-up, then give us a copy'n paste from the output of the following cmd:

[alwaysalonee]

hi seeme i did what you said ..
this is the result of lsmod command

[Semme]

Go into PPM (Pup-pkg-manager), clk to install Bluez, then examine deps.. show me what's listed with a screenshot.

In addition I'd like ya to fire this from a shell and tell me whether or not it says "no devices detected.."

[alwaysalonee]

Forget the bluetooth ..
it's so hard for me

my friend gave me her old nokia USB cable that seems to work for my mobile too so help me to connect to the internet using usb cable connection ...

[Semme]

Hard for you? We were almost there! Takes time to gather information..

What about that last set of instructs- know how to take a screenshot?

I see lsmod's showing a few loaded Bluetooth modules..

[alwaysalonee]

ok so i installed bluez but not from PPM coz it wasnt there reinstalled whole puppy still it says , i installed dbus b4 and after same message ..



pgprs-setup : it brings a dialog and i inserted my APN and then i connect it through network->pgprs connect after doing some process it failed to connect i tried several times still it failed ..

i think to get net working on puppy USB cable will work any instruction for that ? please , may be it'll be easy ..
