I am using salix14-xfce with mate desktop and it is working very well. However, I am not able to use bluetooth.
I am using a usb bluetooth dongle, which is recognized properly as soon as I insert it and blueman-device-manager starts and there is bluetooth icon on the panel. When I setup a samsung tablet, the device is found and added but 'fails to connect'. I cannot send any files to the tablet. I have following packages installed (as found on searching for 'bluetooth' in gslapt):
Thanks for the link. I read through it and also further links on that page. I have imagemagick installed and when I try to remove it through gslapt, it want to remove obex-data-server also along with it. I am not sure how to proceed. Should I remove imagemagick manually with removepkg command? Also the links do not clearly mention that the problem is solved with removal of imagemagick.
I am still struggling with this problem. The samsung tablet is added to the list and I am able to send files from tablet to my desktop running Salixos without any problem. However, when I try to send a file from desktop to tablet, it fails and there is a error message from Blueman application:
I had checked different posts on google. According to http://askubuntu.com/questions/190105/i ... in-xubuntu the problem is due to blueman and installing gnome-bluetooth solves it. However, gnome-bluetooth is not available in gslapt or sourcery.
I would like to know if you are using bluetooth on Salixos and if you have any problem sending or receiving files at all? Also which bluetooth applications/manager are you using? Thanks for your help.
I can both send files to my phone and receive files from it using blueman.
I had previously paired the devices and made my phone a "trusted" one in blueman (I don't know if that matters). I send files by right clicking on the blueman icon in the tray and selecting "Send files to device...". I'm receiving files by using my phone to navigate to the file I want to send and using its interface to send it using bluetooth to my laptop (which gets detected).
I use the same steps (mark it as trusted and send/receive files as you do). The tablet can send files to the desktop without any problem. But I cannot send files from Salixos desktop to tablet pc.
