Package: bluez-utils Version: 3.1-4 Severity: wishlist Yesterday I bought a Bluetooth USB dongle to connect with my mobile phone, but I had some problems with discovery and sending files from phone to computer. I'm using bluez-utils and kdebluetooth on Debian testing/unstable.
The problem with discovery was the well-known issue with ISCAN, but after I fixed that I still wasn't able to send files from phone to computer. Finally I packaged bluez-libs and bluez-utils 3.4 and it worked at the first try, so I suspect the "couple of issues of the D-Bus based API" fixed in 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4 are significant after all. bluez-libs compiled out of the box by just unpacking and moving the debian directory over, but bluez-utils needs some work: * remove bluez-bcm203x package (bcm203x firmware loader removed upstream) * remove 000_rfcomm_conf_example.patch: the example is already commented * remove 004_rfcomm_usage.patch: applied upstream Also note that apparently it is important to remove leftover stuff from /var/lib/bluetooth/<device> to fix the ISCAN issue; it is also probably a good idea to add "discovto 0;" to the default configuration file (see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=384379). Finally, upstream added udev rules for Bluetooth serial PCMCIA cards; I don't know if these udev rules are useful. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (10, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.17.11-athlon Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages bluez-utils depends on: ii dbus 0.62-4 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libbluetooth2 3.1-1 Library to use the BlueZ Linux Blu ii libc6 2.3.6-15 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdbus-1-2 0.62-4 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libusb-0.1-4 2:0.1.12-2 userspace USB programming library ii lsb-base 3.1-14 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip ii makedev 2.3.1-82 creates device files in /dev ii module-init-tools 3.2.2-3 tools for managing Linux kernel mo ii modutils 2.4.27.0-6 Linux module utilities ii sysvinit 2.86.ds1-15 System-V-like init utilities ii udev 0.093-1 /dev/ and hotplug management daemo bluez-utils recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
