  1. Be sure to have the openobex package installed;
  2. Is the bluetooth module external or internal? Does the system define it? The output of lspci or lsusb is required. In the graphical interface, the Hardware Lister program. It is also a good idea to know the name of the module (if it is external);
  3. Does it work with other "bluetooth" devices?

Answer these questions.

  • 1. I can’t answer anything about the openbex package - synaptic2 doesn’t open. The bluetooth module is external (usb “plug”) ... The system sees it ... I don’t know anything about the outputs ((3. There are no other devices to check - Zhenya Kotsarev
  • 1. speak in the console (under the root) apt-get update openobex: if installed, the system will scold, saying that the last option and so there is nothing to update; 2. in the same place we say apt-get search lshw-gui and if we find, then install: apt-get install lshw-gui3. read [Linux_list_hardware_information] [1]; "output" is the response of the command to its introduction to the console [1]: linuxjournal.su/?p=844#more-844 - Justicet
  • apt-get update openobex - doesn’t see apt-get search lshw-gui - swears at search - Zhenya Kotsarev
  • [smoke man on apt] [1]: package search - apt-cache search; apt-get upgrade - Upgrading packages for which new versions are available in the repository. Sorry, for inaccuracies, but I have Fedora. [1]: help.ubuntu.ru/wiki/apt - Justicet

If there is no package, install ( sudo apt-get install rcconf )

Start: sudo rcconf (the <space> button turns the daemons and devices on and off!

Not the fact that the problem is this, but maybe bluetooth is just off.
