[Bluez-users] Help needed (Fedora Core 2)

[Bluez-users] Help needed (Fedora Core 2)

[Ricky Soh]

Dear all,
Sorry, i have a noob's question. I am using fedora core2.

1. When i plug in my usb BT dongle, /dev/bluetooth/ directory is not
created. Under lsmod, there is no bluez but only bluetooth. The
command l2ping but not l2test is working only. For l2test, command not
found. Scotest is not found too.

Based on the above symptons, i suspect fedora core 2 does not have the
full version of bluez installed. Am i right to say that or bluez is
not even installed? I tot bluez is the official linux bt protocol,
thus bluetooth in fedora core 2 should be bluez right? Please
enlighten me and advise me how do i get bluez working... thanks.

Sincerely
Ricky

Hi Ricky,

I may be able to help you out since I recently tried
to get bluez working with my fedora core 2
installation.  The quickest way to tell if you have a
complete bluez install for fedora is to just do a "rpm
-qa | grep blue"

You should have at least the following packages
installed for bluez to work correctly:

bluez-libs-2.5-2.1
bluez-utils-2.4-3
bluez-sdp-1.5-2.1

If any are missing, you can just download the
necessary rpms from one of the fedora mirrors.  good
luck.

Dave

Re: [Bluez-users] Help needed (Fedora Core 2)

[Ricky Soh]

Hi dave, thanks for replying.

I did exactly as told and i have whats stated there except 
bluez-libs-devel-2.5-2.1
bluez-sdp-devel-1.5-2.1

I suppose bluez should be installed but under lsmod, why its not shown
but there is a bluetooth instead. I can run most of the tools of bluez
but l2test, scotest and some others are not found. Is my installation
not complete? how do i go about reinstalling bluez? thanks

Sincerely
Ricky

Re: [Bluez-users] Help needed (Fedora Core 2)

[David Zhu]

You should see the follwing under lsmod:

rfcomm
l2cap
hci_usb
bluetooth
ohci_hcd

What happens when you try "hciconfig -a"?  Did you
remember to start the bluetooth services (is hcid and
sdpd running)?

Re: [Bluez-users] Help needed (Fedora Core 2)

[Ricky Soh]

Dear all,

when i couldn't get bluez on lsmod and l2test and scotest command,
does it mean my bluez is not installed properly? If so, how do i get
it done?

I understand that fedora core 2 is preinstalled with bluez, how do i
get it loaded then instead of the bluetooth?

Sincerely
Ricky

I don't understand what you mean. If you have the command hciconfig and
if it shows an adapter then BlueZ is installed and working.

lsmod right? And l2test and scotest command are bluez command too, why
are they missing? Please help.

with a 2.6 kernel the core module is named bluetooth.ko and not bluez.o
and the l2test and scotest commands are never installed by default.
