[Bluez-users] Not finding services through D-Bus API

[Bluez-users] Not finding services through D-Bus API

[Chris Dragga]

I'm trying to use the Bluez D-Bus API on XUbuntu to establish a PAN network connection, as described in the wiki page on creating network connections.  However, I inevitably get the error "No such service" upon trying to activate the network service with the Bluez Manager object.  Furthermore, calls to ListServices() return an empty array, and I've noticed that none of the .service files that come with Bluez-utils are installed on my computer.  sdptool works, though, allowing me to activate services that then show up using "sdptool browse local".  I currently have bluez-utils-3.20 and bluez-libs-3.20 installed, though I've also tried this with bluez-utils-3.9 and bluez-libs-3.9 (the packages available from Synaptic) with equally little success.  If anyone could provide any information that might help me, I'd greatly appreciate it, as I'm really not sure what to do.

Thanks,
Chris Dragga

the the syslog for any error messages.

Thanks for the advice, but I went through the syslog, and wasn't able
to find any errors regarding this.  I did realize belatedly that I
lacked libusb, flex, and bison, but installing those made no
difference.  Does one have to install the different services manually,
or is it possible that my device is just broken somehow (I'm using a
Trendnet Compact Bluetooth USB 2.0 Adapter, which is probably not the
greatest piece of equipment in the world)?



In addition, I'm getting another problem where the device on my main
computer will not be recognized with the device on my laptop, though my
main computer will see the device on my laptop (my laptop also lacks
the service files).  I doubt this is related, but I thought I'd mention
it in the event that it was.

Disregard these questions.  Almost immediately after posting this, I realized that configure had an option --enable-network; after using this, my problem naturally went away.  Sorry to waste your time.
