Bluetooth not working on Ubuntu 12.04 ralink rt3290

[theperfectpunk]

I have installed drivers for ralink rt3290 wifi/bluetooth in ubuntu 12.04. I can turn on bluetooth using hardware switch but it still shows bluetooth is disabled.
any help?

[praseodym]

Please show:


rfkill list

[theperfectpunk]

mohit@mohit-HP-Pavilion-g6-Notebook-PC:~$ rfkill list
0: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
1: hp-bluetooth: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no

Did you blacklist the native driver rt2800pci?


echo "blacklist rt2800pci" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
Reboot. Checked the BIOS settings?!

[theperfectpunk]

Blacklisted rt2800pcie still no difference :-(

bluetooth works fine in windows 7, there is no setting in bios for this

anymore suggestion?

[praseodym]

Which driver version did you try? Was it 2.6.0.0?

Here is a bluetooth driver:

[theperfectpunk]

yeah i have installed 2.6.0.0 :-)

i used sudo make to compile

that went fine

but sudo make install didn't work

mohit@mohit-HP-Pavilion-g6-Notebook-PC:~/Downloads/rtbth_v3.9.3/rtbth_v3.9.3$ sudo make install
make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop.

[praseodym]

Did you read the instructions in there?

[theperfectpunk]

ok thank you got it to work finally!

but i have to run


sudo insmod rtbth.ko
sudo mknod /dev/rtbth c 192 0
./rtbt.bin


can these be set execute at boot somehow?

[praseodym]

Make a script out of it:


gksu gedit ~/bluetooth.sh
Insert:


#!/bin/bash

insmod rtbth.ko
mknod /dev/rtbth c 192 0
./path/to/the/file/rtbt.bin

exit 0

Executable flag:


sudo chmod +x bluetooth.sh
And start it at boot-up by adding


sh /home/YourName/bluetooth.sh
before "exit 0" in the /etc/rc.local
Do not remove the folders, or, adjust the paths.

When I try "sudo insmod rtbth.ko" it says "can't read 'rtbth.ko'"
Where am I wrong here?

thanks

[praseodym]

Try "sudo modprobe -v rtbth"

[serh]

File rtbth.ko not exists in driver archive.

So I am new to Ubuntu and need some help. I am trying to follow along with the README file but a lot of it does not make sense to me. I have a HP Envy h8-1534 (http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c03639067&prodSeriesId=5330773) which according to lspci is 06:00.1 Bluetooth: Ralink corp. Device 3298 | lspci -n 06:00.1 0d11: 1814:3298. What do I need to make this work?

[saimulhq]

according to pdf after typing sudo modprobe bluetooth nd then typing sudo insmod rtbth.ko, it says "insmod: can't read 'rtbth.ko': No such file or directory", now what should i do please help............

[praseodym]

The original Reealtek driver does not support Bluetooth, try the attached one.241318

Did you install the compilation tools?


sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential

[serh]

Some error. File rtbth.ko not exists in driver archive. Anybody knows how to install this driver?

[4rielo]

Hi, i've recently bought a new HP laptop, that has the rt3290 Bluetooth chip.

lspci command gives this data:
02:00.0 Network controller: Ralink corp. RT3290 Wireless 802.11n 1T/1R PCIe
02:00.1 Bluetooth: Ralink corp. RT3290 Bluetooth

rfkill list gives only this:
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no


So, i've downloaded the file linked above, read the instructions, but when i enter "sudo insmod rtbth.ko" the response i get is:
"Error: could not load module rtbth.ko: No such file or directory"

Do you know what can I do to enable the Bluetooth? How do I install the bluetooth driver?

Thanks for any help you can provide :)


P.S.: Wireless LAN works perfectly fine from the moment i booted LiveCD to install Ubuntu.

I have the very same problem. Did that driver thing work? Well, actually I have...

Bus 003 Device 015: ID 0a5c:4500 Broadcom Corp. BCM2046B1 USB 2.0 Hub (part of BCM2046 Bluetooth)

on a Dell Laptop
