Porteus 5.0 and Bluetooth.
Hi all,
The icon for Bluetooth connections is missing in the panel.
I found a lot on the internet about this problem.
But didn't help me
For example:
sudo systemctl status bluetooth
sudo systemctl enable bluetoothsudo systemctl start bluetooth
However, the systemctl command does not exist in Porteus
Can someone help?

@roro:
Next step is:
A dialog box will appear and also a bluetooth icon on your menu bar at extreme right.
Next step is:
Code: Select all
root@porteus:/home/guest# blueman-manager

I do not understand why you get that message.
Please provide the location of all the blueman-manager on your linux box with:
Try doing the blueman-manager in always fresh mode.
Thanks.

Hi Francois,
Success:
A dialog box will appear and also a Bluetooth icon in the menu bar
Result:
I am not allowed to run blueman-manager as root
Why this mix:
etc/rc.d/rc.bluetooth as root
blueman-manager as guest
There is an explanation?
Code: Select all
guest@porteus:~$ sudo sh '/etc/rc.d/rc.bluetooth' start
We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:
#1) Respect the privacy of others.
#2) Think before you type.
#3) With great power comes great responsibility.

Maybe it is because you work in guest mode and that bluetooth will be applied only to the guest environment.
Log out from guest mode and get in root mode desktop environment and see if bluetooth icon is in the menu bar. If not try running blueman-manager in cli-mode (terminal, which will be in root mode automatically) and see if blueman-manager will work.
I am happy to read that you were able to apply the solution.

i'll say it again: add the cheatcode: bluetooth to the boot line.. ie. <install_media>/boot/syslinux/porteus.cfg line that starts: APPEND (or hit TAB at boot screen and type: bluetooth )
learn more cheatcodes: <install_media>/boot/docs/cheatcodes.txt

@ncmprhnsbl:
Thanks for your patience. Some times people need a little repetition. We are a bunch of elderly on this site.
You have a lot to do as a the main maintainer of Porteus and Nemesis. I would underline that other distributions do not have that quality of intervention to the client or forum members.
Porteus 5.0 is really a mature distribution.
Cheers!

Porteus 5.0 and Bluetooth.
Install and everything is going great, I activated the bluetooth from the control center of Porteus... but I can not connect any device, scans them well but there is always a strange message. As I see it has to do with a pack of pulseaudio that is needed?
ADDITIONALLY, I copied all the "/lib/firmware" content from my altlinux partition, which solved the wifi, but not the Bluetooth!

you have to start the daemon bluetooth: /etc/rc.d/rc.bluetooth start and if you have a laptop you have to see if the bluetooth device is activated with rfkill
bash-5.2# rfkill
ID TYPE DEVICE SOFT HARD
0 bluetooth hci0 unblocked unblocked
bash-5.2#
after i don't know your desktop environment..blueman or bluedevil, but if you have trouble you can use the terminal with bluetoothctl
bash-5.2# rfkill

Thank you for the links.
I was able to make work Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX201 built-in bluetooth by
adding "bluetooth" cheatcode when booting
and putting these two files in /porteus/rootcopy/lib/firmware/intel/ folder.
