Problem with bluetooth in FC9

[sachin.parnami]

Hi All,

I am using FC9 on Dell latitude D610 laptop

I am not able to use my bluetooth, icon comes on right panel but when i try to brows device it shows nothing

Its indicator blinks with blue light which means it works fine from hardware side


Any idea?

[sachin.parnami]

Guys any insight on it

[devils casper]

Did pair both devices?
Execute this in Terminal :

hcitool scan

Does it list device id?

Thanks for your reply

I tried running this command but it gave nothing

[root@localhost ~]$ hcitool scan
Scanning ...
[root@localhost ~]$

I can't pair the device because it never detects any other device when ever i try to browse device it always shows blank , means no other devices at all

[devils casper]

Are you sure that bluetooth is on in other device?
Try both commands now :

hcotool scan
hcitool inq

[sachin.parnami]

Yeh other device is running i can detect that from other devices but my laptop is not detected

these both commands also shows nothing

[root@localhost ~]# hcitool scan
Scanning ...
[root@localhost ~]# 
[root@localhost ~]# hcitool inq
Inquiring ...
[root@localhost ~]#

Is there any way by which i can check that my systems bluetooth is running and up apart from the indicator?

[devils casper]

Execute this

hcitool dev

[sachin.parnami]

Here is the output for the command

[root@localhost ~]# hcitool dev
Devices:
	hci0	00:10:C6:88:57:DD
[root@localhost ~]#

Bluetooth device is working fine in your machine.
Try executing hcitool scan command 3-4 times. In case it doesn't show other bluetooth devices, execute this

yum install bluez-utils bluez-libs gnome-bluetooth bluez-hcidump bluez-libs-devel gnome-bluetooth-libs bluez-gnome

Execute hcitool scan command again.

* I assumed that you are using Gnome Desktop Environment.

Done tried running command 3-5 time but same result nothing

then i did

[root@localhost ~]# yum install bluez-utils bluez-libs gnome-bluetooth bluez-hcidump bluez-libs-devel gnome-bluetooth-libs bluez-gnome
