Has anyone successfully used a usb bluetooth dongle with Ubuntu 7.10. I can get it to pair with my mobile phone on the laptop, but when i try to send a photo from phone to laptop, the phone does not detect the laptop.Made both phone and laptop visible but still no connection. I must be doing something wrong but what?
What are you running on the laptop to recieve the photo? I use sobexsrv -s 2 -I -r /tmp/phone http://www.mulliner.org/bluetooth/sobexsrv.php
I'm going to put a news/notes page about bluetooth on my website today.
Hope that helps,
Ooooops Thought i only had to send picture from phone to laptop, did not know i needed a bit of software too. I need something easy to use and install and will work with a Samsung D 500. The software that came with the phone is windows only. any idea's? The one you quoted looked to technical for me.
If you use GNOME or KDE, they both have Bluetooth 'frameworks' built in:

I have experience of KDE's one and it always seems to work fine for me.
