bluetooth problems
I'm looking to use my Motorola HT820 Stereo Headset, but when I try pairing it with my Motorola PC850 bluetooth adapter, I get a wonderful error

Quote:
"obex://[00:07:a4:f2:99:55]" is not a valid location.
Please check the spelling and try again.
I did some looking on the forums to see if anyone else has tried using this headset and I was linked to this site. I followed the directions:

Quote:
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@sbc.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/sbc login
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@sbc.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/sbc co sbc
cd sbc
./bootstrap
at this point, I get errors:

Quote:
./bootstrap: 7: aclocal: not found
./bootstrap: 7: glibtoolize: not found
This of course throws a wrench into things, and I can not complete this task.

I'm just looking to use this with Skype, Amarok, and Rosetta Stone language software (in wine).

suggestions?

Re: bluetooth problems
Hi,

I had the same problem on 7.10, after installing these packages
libbtctl4
libopenobex1
gnome-vfs-obexftp
bluez-btsco

I can pair the headset (plantronics voyager 510) and see it as an audio device in the bluetooth manager.

Next up is getting Ekiga recognize it as an audio device.
In Gentoo it was with btsco...

Cheers,
Marco

Okay, if you sudo apt-get install gnome-vfs-obexftp

The bluetooth applet should work fine

Let me know otherwise.

Re: bluetooth problems
well, the installation went fine. I then turned the headset on and prepared it for pairing, told the BT device manager to pair with the headset and then I was prompted for a passkey of course. I put it in and it spits more errors at me (of course):

Check if the service is available.
