I've found this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=671552

And please post the output of lspci and lsusb to get the right device ID of your bluetooth module.

So here we go:

Code: Select all

Bus 007 Device 002: ID 0b05:1712 ASUSTek Computer, Inc. BT-183 Bluetooth 2.0+EDR adapter
I've never used bluetooth, so I cannot really help you. But maybe google can return some results for the USB ID "0b05:1712".

And perhaps these commands can bring up some useful informations, too:
/sbin/lsmod | grep hci
hcitool dev
hcitool scan

Meybe i find the problem:
When i try to install "bluez-gnome" via Gslapt, error appear: bluez-gnome: Depends: obex-data-server!

Maybe "obex-data-server" can solve my problem? I try to install binaries from here, but take lots of errors(dependency checking for "obex-data-server" was successful).
