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. Cheers Barry
