Salix Forums

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): How can I troubleshoot this problem?

Do you have ImageMagick installed?
I guess this is related to http://forum.salixos.org/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=1158

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: How can I solve this problem? Please help.

Maybe something here can help:

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.

Maybe you should resolve this at your tablet software then? Can you send files to your tablet from any other source?

Both sending and receiving (from same tablet) works perfectly well on the same desktop running windows7 system (it is a dual boot computer).
