Ah Vikas, dont worry about the above. I solved it. It is due to an unrelated problem.

Managed to install Gnome Bluetooth and inserted the code lines you mentioned. Still no luck. My cellphone still cannot detect a Bluetooth connection in the vicinity.

Maybe the Ubuntu operating system is not able to sync with my Bluetooth card?

I will try to solve this problem and let u know.

Cheers.

Hi Vikas,

Thank you for the rapid reply!

I did not realise that I needed the Gnome Bluetooth application as well.

Tried installing it through Synaptics Package Manager. But it didn’t let me install it, citing the following problem:

“W: Failed to fetch http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/libb/libbtctl/libbtctl4_0.9.0-2_i386.deb
403 Forbidden

W: Failed to fetch http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/g/gnome-bluetooth/libgnomebt0_0.11.0-0ubuntu1_i386.deb
403 Forbidden

W: Failed to fetch http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/gnome-bluetooth/gnome-bluetooth_0.11.0-0ubuntu1_i386.deb

Grrrr!

Hi Anand,

You would have to follow the steps mentioned in my earlier post. It would be better to have a look at that. In a nutshell you would have to install the gnome-bluetooth. Here are the steps.

Then open Synaptic Package Manager (from the System -> Administration menu). Search for and install gnome-bluetooth.

Next, open a terminal window, and type the following, which will open the rc.local configuration file in Gedit:

Code:

gksu gedit /etc/rc.local

Scroll down to the blank line above “exit 0″, and type the following:

Code:

hciconfig hci0 inqmode 0

Note that the characters in the line after hci and inqmode are zeros and not the letter “O”. Save the file, close Gedit, and then restart your computer.

Dear Vikash,

I am a new Ubuntu 8.04 user. I use a Compaq Presario B3800.

I have Bluez Util installed in my Ubuntu.

Yet, I cannot find Applications–>Accessories–>BlueTooth File Sharing.

Any idea why, mate?
