Porteus 5.0 and Bluetooth.

[Ed_P]

When I ran the dmesg | grep -i blue I got this:

Code: Select all

oot@porteus:/home/guest# dmesg | grep -i blue

on my Cinnamon system. Any ideas about the Failed to load error?

[beny]

not porteus but: /lib/firmware/intel/ibt-19-0-4.sfi you have to have this one

[Ed_P]

Unfortunately

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:~$ su

[Ed_P]

Thank you sir.

[beny]

hi Ed_P is a firmware not a kernel module...

[Ed_P]

is a firmware not a kernel module...

Thank you beny. So I don't copy it to /lib/firmware/intel/?

I currently have a couple of .sfi modules:

Code: Select all

root@porteus:/home/guest# ls -oh /lib/firmware/intel
total 1.2M
-rw-r--r-- 1 root   18 Jun 24  2022 ibt-11-5.ddc
-rw-r--r-- 1 root 574K Jun 24  2022 ibt-11-5.sfi
-rw-r--r-- 1 root   14 Jun 24  2022 ibt-12-16.ddc
-rw-r--r-- 1 root 571K Jun 24  2022 ibt-12-16.sfi
root@porteus:/home/guest# 

and they seem to have matching .ddc files. I suspect I need an ibt-19-0-4.ddc file also.

Hi all,
I am using Porteus 5.0 Xfce
I also want to use Bluetooth.
As I read here: the setup seems complicated?
I don't have Bluetooth installed yet.

Code: Select all

root@porteus:/home/guest# lspci | grep Bluetooth 
root@porteus:/home/guest# lspci | grep bluetooth 
root@porteus:/home/guest#

What do I have to do?
I need step by step instructions for beginners.
Thanks

[beny]

hi roro,please your hardware...we have to know the device where porteus run install inxi that is +- like aida on windows or show us the model number..

hi roro this is my network part of the inxi report:

you are shure that the notebook have the bluetooth card or so, also rfkill in terminal show you if the bluetooth device is blocked by software also the wifi too, see if you have a key that allow the power at bluetooth,a lot of notebook have one of this switch key. and last one start as root the daemon with this in terminal sh '/etc/rc.d/rc.bluetooth' start

[roro]

Hi beny,
No success

Code: Select all

root@porteus:/home/guest# rfkill
ID TYPE      DEVICE      SOFT      HARD
 0 bluetooth hci0   unblocked unblocked
 1 wlan      phy0   unblocked unblocked
root@porteus:/home/guest# /etc/rc.d/rc.bluetooth
bash: /etc/rc.d/rc.bluetooth: Permission denied
root@porteus:/home/guest# 

"root" and " Permission denied" Why?

[roro]

" Permission denied"
I therefore did the following:

Code: Select all

root@porteus:/etc/rc.d# chmod +x rc.bluetooth
root@porteus:/etc/rc.d# ./rc.bluetooth start
Starting Bluetooth services:  bluetoothd hciconfig sdptool hciattach

No Bluetooth icon appears on the screen
And how now ?
What else do I have to do?

[beny]

hi roro ,all the scripts into the /etc/rc.d directory, you have to start with sh /etc/rc.d/rc.bluetooth start or restart or stop the rc.d directory is the core of porteus or slackware "the house of daemons"
but if you have the icon click on and try to connect with your device click left you have the bluetooth window click right you have an index of command,remember that you have also the bluetoothctl on terminal that help a lot,i suggest to open another terminal with the bluetoothctl help just for a list of command...we have a lot of...

[roro]

Hi beny,
Error message :

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:~$ sh /etc/rc.d/rc.bluetooth start
Starting Bluetooth services:  bluetoothd hciconfig sdptool hciattach
guest@porteus:~$ D-Bus setup failed: Connection ":1.60" is not allowed to own the service "org.bluez" due to security policies in the configuration file

What can I do now ?
