I have 5.0rc3 x64 OpenBox and am trying to connect my BT mouse. I first enabled Bluetooth daemon in Porteus Settings, and then
The mouse is not moving the cursor. It's the same mouse I use when I boot into Windows 10 on the same laptop. Something is amiss to tell system it now has a second mouse.
Anyway, I gathered bluetoothctl may not be the right tool for end user, so I did this:
Code: Select all
root@porteus:~# getpkg blueman
...successfully made blueman-2.2.2-x86_64-1.xzm, activated it...
root@porteus:~# /etc/rc.d/rc.bluetooth restart
Starting Bluetooth services: bluetoothd hciconfig sdptool hciattach
root@porteus:~# blueman-manager
...a void window displayed for a while and closed with a console error:
Blueman applet needs to be running
root@porteus:~# blueman-applet

So first of all, blueman isn't working for me. Secondly, I only need it if it successfully lets me use my BT mouse and if there is another more promising tool or method, please let me know.
