Configure Bluetooth sound

[orbitalfenetra]

Hi

I want to connect a Bose Soundlink mini device via bluetooth. I succeed to pair the speaker. But in the audio setup I can't see the audio device. Is there a way to integrate the paired bluetooth speaker to the devices list so I can play the computer sound in it?

Thanks

never played with audio over bluetooth but please try this:

download following packages from Slackware repo: bluez, gstreamer, gstreamer-plugins-base.
uninstall original bluez package shipped with porteus:

Code: Select all

removepkg bluez

and now you can install all three:

Code: Select all

installpkg *.txz

please check if it makes any difference.

Okay, I'm totally new to Linux environement. Where can I find "slackware repo". I googled it but it's pretty confusing... I use x64 version of Porteus by the way.

Thanks.

Use USM, there will be an icon in your menu, once you have opened it click updates>update USM. after that click updates>update all. then search for bluez, gstreamer, gstreamer-plugins-base (one at a time) select the package you want then choose download.

There is no user-friendly interface. This is a console like cmd in Windows. However, I've managed to use USM commands like usm -u all then I download bluez. It told me there was 3 other things I need so I downloaded all 4. Then I converted the things to package. Unfortunatly, it failed to recognize my bluetooth dongle (who worked before that). Oh and before that I've removed the other bluez too.

I learnt that I need to copy the modules in modules folder, whitch I've done, but when I reboot Porteus, the bluetooth logo is not there anymore

I don't know what I've done wrong. I found Porteus quite challenging by the way! lol

Execute usmgui from terminal for user friendly version.
Porteus is a little challenging at first but its a great way to learn linux
Try run bluez from terminal and see what happens

[orbitalfenetra]

Ok I will. I didn't have the time to work on it. Just leave this thread alive please.

Thx

What is the command to execute usmgui? I've tried

usm -e usmgui

[freestyler]

Code: Select all

usmgui

[orbitalfenetra]

I've already tried that:

bash: usmgui: command not found
