Trying to install Belkin F8T009 Bluetooth adapter on Lucid P

#1 Post by THX1138 »

I have a Belkin F8T009 Bluetooth adapter. I tried to add the required software using the application manager. I search for "bluetooth" and it finds a single entry. I try to install it and find multiple dependencies. I try to download the different packages and the download fails for all four servers available.

I recorded some footage with my phone which may make it easier to understand what my problem is.

Lucid Puppy is based on Ubuntu Lucid Lynx, which was published in 2010. I think updating the package manager will not change anything as the repositories for Lucid just might begone.

No, but I gave my old drum kit away for free to a music store collecting instruments for refugees! :wink:

Lucid Lynx was an LTS release, supported for 5 years.....but even at that, with release in April 2010, the repositories went into 'locked-down' archive mode around 2 1/2 years ago. I have an even worse problem, anyway; I just recently installed Upup Raring, one of the short-term supported Ubuntu-based Pups; it lost support nearly 4 years ago, so every single package in that Pup, aside from what comes with the ISO, is either a .pet or an SFS. It's awkward when the repos no longer connect to anything.

The best guy to ask about this would be Richard Erwin ('rerwin'), on the Lucid Revitalized thread:-

If anybody can help with stuff related to Lucid, he can.

You could also have a scout round in the 'Additional Software (Network)' forum:-

There's a fair few threads about Bluetooth in there. Anything Bill (rcrsn51) has put out, will be worth investigating. His stuff almost invariably just 'works'.

Hope that helps.


Mike. :wink:
