[SOLVED] [Salix32 XFCE 13.37] Bluetooth (Dell D400)

Hi folks,

it has me cost some time to get the internal Bluetooth modul running .. after installing Blueman (which is a great bluetooth manger with few dependencies that should be part of Salix XFCE) I got the well know "Bluez daemon is not running, blueman-manager cannot continue." error message.

It was a simple task .. /etc/rc.d/rc.bluetooth wasn't marked as an executable file. After chmod and calling rc.bluetooth everything went fine ..

So at least I can say - Salix OS 32 XFCE 13.37 runs fine and amazing fast - with a little bit tweaking (for example disabling ipv6 mod which leads to a very slow internet connection 'cause I don't have a router that could handle IPv6) - out-of-the-box on my Dell Latitude D400 ...

So long

Outlaw

Although I still enable and disable services this way (old habits die hard)...

Example:

Code: Select all

# chmod 755 /etc/rc.d/rc.<service_name> ; /etc/rc.d/rc.<service_name> start
... the service and servicesetup commands can make this whole process a lot easier.

Example:

Code: Select all

# service start <service_name>
However, rc.bluetooth is disabled by default because not everyone has a bluetooth device ;)
