I just installed bluesoleil on my 9.10 , but whenever i click on Applications > Accessories > Bluesoleil I get the following error .

The application refuses to initialise

The package was downloaded from IVT's site .

The program is looking in the /opt/bluesoleil directory for the file "bluesoleil_link.sh" - is it there? If not, find out where it is and you can symbolically link to it:

Code:

cd /opt/bluesoleil
ln -s /path/to/bluesoleil_link.sh bluesoleil_link.sh

Where /path/to/bluesoleil_link.sh is the path to the correct location (may need to preface the "ln" command with sudo to work). This creates a file that points to the file "bluesoleil_link.sh."

It isnt in the opt folder and i have no idea where it installed itself ! . where do files from a default installation generally go ? (.deb file)

A good way to find the file is to use the locate command:

Code:

locate bluesoleil_link.sh

If it is not found, it may be a false negative. You can update your "locate" database by doing:

Code:

sudo updatedb

This indexes all the files on your system so it may take a while.

Then try the locate command again.

Nothing was returned even after an update

Then try to find where the program files are:

Code:

locate bluesoleil

What steps did you take to install this?

I have different problem with the same bluesoleil bt adaptor. But my problem is that the .deb package i've downloaded from bluesoleil didn't support my current kernel that is newer. What should i do to solve it without downgrading the kernel?
Thanks.
