[Bug 327284] Re: [Jaunty Alpha4] Bluetooth Headset pairs but freezes the system when used

2009-05-12 Thread thefluxster
Update: After several days of flawless audio, I suddenly started getting
an error message when I tried to run my command-line string.  I would
instantly get a message telling me that the module had failed to load.
All versions of the packages were in order with this thread's
workaround.

For some reason, "pulseaudio-module-hal" got dropped from my system
during one of the recent Ubuntu auto-updates.  It took me a long time to
figure out that this is what happened.  After adding the module, I can
now use my commands as before and get audio to work again.

Hope this helps someone else out there...

[Bug 327284] Re: [Jaunty Alpha4] Bluetooth Headset pairs but freezes the system when used

2009-04-30 Thread thefluxster
Ok, after some further hunting, I found the .deb packaged with Kharmic.  I 
installed it on Jaunty and now I've got it working.  Sort of.  It's still a bit 
buggy.  For instance, if I close Rhythmbox and then try to reopen and play 
something again, it may or may not work without reinitializing the bluetooth 
connection using:
pactl load-module module-bluetooth-device address=00:0D:3C:BC:56:D9 
sink_name="CardoS2" profile="a2dp"

Here is how I got it working:

1. Upgrade PulseAudio to version 0.915 by adding the following PPA resource to 
Synaptic Package Sources:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/themuso/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
(Note that you need to add the gpg key found on 
https://launchpad.net/~themuso/+archive/ppa as well) 

Check for software updates and install any "pulse" related packages that
upgrade to .915 versions.

2. Download the Bluez 4.37 .deb package for Kharmic from here:
https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/i386/bluez/4.37-0ubuntu1
Install with dpkg -i 
This effectively backports the package, I think...  Someone with more 
experience should probably confirm this.  I'm fairly new to Ubuntu/desktop *nix.

3. Switch your audio settings to "PulseAudio" in your system Sound
settings - leave Sound Capture set to HDA .

4. Find the MAC address of your bluetooth device (do a quick google
search for "ubuntu bluetooth MAC address" if you're not sure how to do
this)

5. Pair your bluetooth headset through your bluetooth settings.

6. Launch your PulseAudio Device Chooser application (Applications ->
Sound & Video)

7. On the commandline, initialize your bluetooth headset as a sink for 
PulseAudio:
pactl load-module module-bluetooth-device address=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX 
sink_name="BTHeadset" profile="a2dp"

8. You may or may not need to set the newly added device as the default
audio sink.  If you're not hearing audio, this is a possible reason.
Set "BTHeadset" as your default sink by clicking the PulseAudio Device
Chooser icon in your top panel and changing the Default Sink -> Other...
to BTHeadset.

If that doesn't work, I'm not sure what else it could be... I'm very
happy that this solution fixed the audio for me.  Now I can watch TV on
the bus again!  :)

Please note that the "a2dp" is the correct Bluetooth profile for my

Please help to promoting the backport by testing the bluez package I

I've recommended it for release.  Others following this thread should do
likewise.  It would be best to have this added automatically to Jaunty
to improve overall experience for newer users.  Thanks for posting it!

We should update the Help Wiki for Bluetooth Headset interaction through
Pulse Audio found here:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothHeadset

Many other users could definitely benefit from this info.

Long-run, Ubuntu should SERIOUSLY consider packaging/productizing these
types of things!

I didn't bring my BT headphones with me to work (wasn't working, so why
bother?).  I'll give it a spin tonight and post my test results with the
Cardo S-2.

Regardless, thank you Sam and Ludovico.  The community has been improved
by your efforts.

I'm pretty sure he means your reference to *not* using the info found
http://wiki.bluez.org/wiki/HOWTO/AudioDevices but rather using the
native bluetooth interface of pulseaudio for bluetooth.  The rest of us
are having trouble getting the PulseAudio interface to recognize

you provide detailed work-around information to this bug?

[Bug 413010] Re: Qt Assistant is no longer a development tool.

2009-12-01 Thread thefluxster
Agree.  At the very least, if Qt Assistant is not made standalone then
it should be a dependent of Qt Designer.  Otherwise, if Qt Assistant
isn't pulled from the qt4-dev-tools package, then Qt Designer should
*REQUIRE* qt4-dev-tools as a dependant.  Otherwise, users will install
Qt Designer and not have any way of figuring out why they don't have
help menu options available once installed.

As a workaround, users who have installed Qt Designer must then install
(through Synaptic Package Manager) "qt4-dev-tools".  That also adds a
bunch of stuff they don't need, but at least they can then use the help
system for Qt Designer.

As a piece of background, the trouble isn't so much the bluetooth as the
use of pulseaudio with bluetooth.  PulseAudio just isn't ready for this
kind of "new" technology.
