[Bluez-users] DiNovo and bluetooth-hub functionality

[Bluez-users] DiNovo and bluetooth-hub functionality

[Mattias Arrelid]

Hi everyone,

Let me start with saying that I only have been on a Linux system for
about 2 days, so please forgive me if I have made clumpsy assumptions or
similar.

However, I'm running Ubuntu Linux 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog). I also got a
DiNovo set from Logitech that has been running fine since install. Now
I'd like to connect my phone to the computer for file exchange/sync and
it doesn't seem to be anything else to do than manually adjusting things
to get everything up and running.

I've installed all BlueZ-packages for Ubuntu using apt-get (graphical
version).

I can now, after having logged in at my computer using an extra keyboard
(connected on ps/2) do the following commands (sudo because of my using
of Ubuntu, won't have priviligies else);

1. sudo hid2hci
2. hcid
3. sdpd
4. hidd --server
5. sudo hidd --search

Now, my mouse, keyboard and mediapad gets connected and everything works
ok. My problem is that I would like this to be done automatically when I
start up my computer (in other words; start up bluetooth functionality
and let me use my bluetooth devices). Maybe the above can be done in
another way, I'm really a newbie trying to get it all together. It would
also be nice if I in Nautilus could view my bluetooth neighborhood using
"bluetooth:///" or something.

Thansk for any suggestions.

/ Mattias



Please, I'm totally stuck and I cannot seem to find a solution to my
problem. What can I do to solve this? Tried searching the archives for a
similar problem but I cannot figure out how to search for a specific
phrase (just searching on "HCI mode failed" gives me tons of not so
relevant answers, even when forcing requirment of all words).

Thanks in advance / Mattias

you should run all of them as root. The "hidd --search" should btw only
be needed once.

You should talk to the Ubuntu package maintainer of the bluez-utils
package, because it includes a boot script for this task.

Hi Marcel,

Thanks for your fast reply.

Now, I have logged in as root instead and tried to run all those
commands. Still, everything works, but I sure would like to find out
where that init script is. Is there a way I can do find it manually? And
then install it manually?

I'm going to try to remove all Bluez-stuff with apt-get as root, and
then reinstalling them again, just to make sure that the script wasn't
included from the beginning (maybe it couldn't be created?).

Thanks in advance / Mattias

it is in the bluez-utils source tarball, but maybe the Ubuntu package
maintainer was too lazy. The init script is not installed by default,
because every distribution provides its own.

Well, I't seems the bluetooth services is up and running since I can access my computer through the mobile (able to send pictures to it).

The main problem is still that my keyboard, mouse and mediapad are unusable until I log in, start a terminal and run "hidd --search". And as if it wasn't enough; this doesn't find any devices until i press the connect-buttons on each of them (the mouse, the keyboard and the mediapad). Then they are found by "hidd --search".

Is there a way to solve this you think?

you need a running "hidd --server". They will reconnect to this server
after a keypress.

Well, how can I get that? Remember that I've only been on a Linux-system
for two days now, and I really don't know that much =)

I actually tried starting up the computer, logging into GNOME and then
directly logging of. Then the system says "shutting down Bluetooth
services" so they must indeed be running.

But... when I disconnect my spare keyboard and start up the computer
again, and Gnome shows the login screen, the is NO result from the
diNovo keyboard / mouse / mediapad. Tried pushing the connect buttons on
both them AND the hub - won't do it.

Is it really possible to get the system to recognize my keyboard at
startup. Has anyone had success with that?

I'd tried running "hidd --server" directly after logging in, but that
won't do it. I still have to press the connect buttons, do "hidd
--search" or alternatively "hidd --connect ADRESS" for each device.

I didn't think it would be this hard... =/

Suggestions?

Thanks again / Mattias

check /etc/default/bluez-utils and look at HIDD_ENABLED. If Ubuntu uses
the Debian BlueZ packages then this might work.

Well, enabling it makes the whole process much easier. Now it works
perfectly.

Many many warm thanks for your kindness and knowledge.
