Hello Everyone.
Greeting for the Day!
I am new to Linux platform and i just downloaded the Porteus Mate 5.0 RC1 X64 version OS. its fast and works great. i want a Bluetooth Module so that i can connect my Bluetooth earphones when i try to download it from Module it gets installed but when i searched i cant find it .i want to know is there any Bluetooth module which can be installed and used offline. i like to have it in Proteus Mate only . i installed VLC and it started to show up in Multimedia but when Bluetooth is installed its not showing up. and i would like to know is there any software to build with VLC and Bluetooth module is installed to make a customize ISO.is it possible to install chntpw or any other alternate App to reset the NT passwords in this OS as well. i am sorry for my English ..

Please try the blueman bundle:

Once installed, if not functional, provide in command line the output of:

nope, that's only for the openbox DE module..
you shouldn't need to add anything, blueman and bluez are already present.
what you do need to do is: start the bluetooth daemon, by either: using the "bluetooth" cheatcode at boot (either edit /boot/syslinux/porteus.cfg APPEND line or press tab at the boot screen and add it then)
or via the porteus-settings-centre(in the system menu) > system settings tab> bluetooth settings.

.is it possible to install chntpw
looks like there's a slackbuild for it at sBo, so , yes it is possible..
there is a script on the ISO: /porteus/make_iso.sh that can be used for this purpose..

I recommend you use the Porteus Mate 5.0 rc
2 x64 version.
Porteus-v5.0rc2 is released (Post by Blaze #78124)

.. if you do try RC2, be aware that there
is a known problem with bluetooth in this version, see here:
Porteus 5.0 RC2 bug reports (Post by ncmprhnsbl #78728)
fairly easy fix though.

I tried to install "blueman" through "slapt-mod", but if I remember correctly, the terminal informed me that it was already in its latest version... the idea was finally to solve the lack of some "pulseaudio" dependency or whatever.

And how did you solved it in terms of these dependencies?
Thanks.

I couldn't fix it, because according to the package manager "blueman" was properly installed... for the moment I haven't "break my head" because I have "Porteux" on the PC.
HOWEVER, I thought that maybe trying to install:
"bluez-firmware", "bluez-alsa"
