Hi all,

has anyone got the Bluetooth to work on a Dell Latitude D630 in either KDE (KDE Bluetooth) or Gnome (Bluetooth Manager & Framework)?

It can be seen with lsusb as: Bus 002 Device 002: ID 413c:8140 Dell Computer Corp. Wireless 360 Bluetooth

I even put a Bluetooth USB dongle in and it is seen with lsusb as: Bus 005 Device 003: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)

How can they be activated and the Laptop be made discoverable?

TIA

If you are trying on KDE, first step is to install kbluetooth 0.4.2 from KDE:Backports ... the shipped version is pretty useless

Then, if it isn't autostarted, run it and you should see it appear in the systray ... it has configuration options to enable discoverability etc. and it handles pairing both initiated from the laptop and the device.

Thanks for the Info! I work with KDE 4.3.5 (Rel. 0). I have KDE Backports in my Repository. Searching for "kbluetooth" delivers kbluetooth 0.4.2-3.1, which is installed - is that the right one? I don't see just "kbluetooth 0.4.2". I also have kdebluetooth4-0.3-9.1 installed. With Ctrl-Alt-F8 I ran Gnome to check. They are visible under Gnome "Application Browser - Internet", but does not find any Bluetooth devices. Under KDE it is also under Internet. It does not discover Bluetooth devices either. I know the Bluetooth headphone device works and is discoverable, because it works with my Palm Pre. The Pre does not find the Dell however. How can I be sure Bluetooth actually runs on the Dell?

Also, I have used the "hcitool" command: hcitool dev Devices: hci0 00:21:86:4A:47:56 ( the Dell Wireless 360 Bluetooth) hci1 00:15:83:15:A3:10 ( the Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode) hcitool scan Scanning ... ........... (delivers nothing). It displays local devices. I cannot, however, get either to scan for other devices. Something is missing. Neither of the two seem to be active. kbluetooth and kbluetooth4 do not see the local devices.
