Have you tried kdebluetooth? It has quite many functions and automation . I use it regularly with my phone , it also has GUI for pairing and entering PIN. -- The Future is Open...The Future is LINUX

Friendly Bluetooth
by Francis 19 Nov '06

19 Nov '06

Greetings , I was wondering if three are any apps that manage bluetooth services provided by a remote device . Currently I can use all services like dial-up [via rfcomm and wvdial ] , sent & receive [ via obex] , hid [ via hidd ] . The issue is its kinda of hard to get someone else who isn't a techie to accept it . More over pairing is done using command line something that a normal cell phone user doesn't want to do . Is there any appp like the M$ app called BLuESomething that is shipped with most bluetooth dongles that helps manage services and devices all in one application ?? Cheers { Francis; }

-> A guy in my office bought an IBM thinkpad that he planned to install > Debian on. When he bought it, he asked for no OS to be installed, and > got the laptop at a lower price. My Compaq Presario 2203AL came with Mandrake in 2004. I bought it from a HP dealer/showroom in Kolkata. However all the higher end models came with Windows. However I did not inquire about the possibility of having them without Windows. Regards, Debarshi -- Computers are like air conditioners -- they stop working properly if you open Windows.

modprobe: FATAL Error
by Ranjit Sapre 16 Nov '06

16 Nov '06

hey guys, Thanks for ur advises, but im stil facing the same issue. Let me give more details to all of u. 1. I am dual booting with Fedora Core 2 and Windows XP. 2. Fedora was working fine initially. When i was away, my parents used my PC, and they never used Fedora, they used Windows only. So you can say, Fedora was not used for around 2 months. 3. When I am back, I start Fedora and the booting stops with the following error message: modprobe: FATAL: Error inserting floppy (/lib/modules/2.6.5-1.358/kernel/driversblock/floppy.ko): Device or resource busy. IMP: the booting stops at the same point even if i try with CD-1 of fedora. btw..Harsh, Vivek, Rony, Siddhesh, thanks a lot for ur prompt replies. But i am quite new to this linux community and have limited knowledge of this OS. Hence, i do not know what to do when u say "you might need to reinstall your boot loader" . thanks again all.
