built-in Bluetooth on eee-pc not functioning, dongle also not
The build-in bluetooth of a ASUS eee-pc netbook does not function properly. I assume there is no appropriate driver.
I want to use a usb-bluetooth-
the GUI does not switch to hci1, the usb-bluetooth-
Can I prevent loading hci0 so that the dongle will be used after connection?

I tryed:
sudo mv /etc/init/
Bluetooth was disabled but also the dongle. Hence
:~$ sudo mv bluetooth.conf /etc/init/
:~$ cat /etc/init/
# bluez - bluetooth daemon
description "bluetooth daemon"
start on started dbus
stop on stopping dbus
env UART_CONF=
env RFCOMM_
expect fork
respawn
exec /usr/sbin/
post-start script
[ "$VERBOSE" = no ] && redirect=
# start_uarts()
if [ -x /usr/sbin/hciattach ] && [ -f $UART_CONF ];
then
grep -v '^#' $UART_CONF | while read i; do
eval "/usr/sbin/
done
fi
# start_rfcomm()
if [ -x /usr/bin/rfcomm ] && [ -f $RFCOMM_CONF ] ;
then
# rfcomm must always succeed for now: users
# may not yet have an rfcomm-enabled kernel
eval "/usr/bin/rfcomm -f $RFCOMM_CONF bind all $redirect" || :
fi
end script
post-stop script
# stop_uarts()
logger -t bluez "Stopping uarts"
killall hciattach >/dev/null 2>&1 || :

logger -t bluez "Stopping rfcomm"

then
eval "/usr/bin/rfcomm unbind all $redirect" || :

end script
Did the command show a bluetooth icon on the panel?
Heinvandijk (dijkvan) said : | #11 |
The icon stayed on te panel with command (no effect found), and with the mv-command of #9. In the latter case the menu was simpler; just item connect/disconnect and settings.
Heinvandijk (dijkvan) said : | #12 |
tried:
sudo update-rc.d bluetooth remove
update-rc.d: /etc/init.
Can this go wrong if I use -f ?
Heinvandijk (dijkvan) said : | #13 |
tried 12; no result. Has to do with 12.04, earlier versions seem to work.
Next we I can not work on the problem.
Thanks for your help so far.
I suggest you report a bug. Make sure your BIOS is up to date too
Can you help with this problem?
Provide an answer of your own, or ask Heinvandijk for more information if necessary.
