!! Notes for getting USB Bluetooth setup on a Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS Server Install <br> The aim is to be able to dump files from cellphone to server via bluetooth (without any direct Server access required), then access sent files over the ethernet network via a secondary computer for sorting/renaming etc to correct folder. <br> ! NOTE: All commands issued as 'root' user <br> ! NOTE: BT is abbreviation for bluetooth, but not where it is needed for an actual command - full syntax will be used <br> ! 1. Install bluetooth drivers/config-files/etc "apt-get install bluez bluez-utils btscanner bluez-hcidump libpam-blue obexpushd obexfs libobexftp0 obexftp ussp-push python-gobject python-dbus" <br> ! 2. Check to see if your USB Bluetooth Dongle is attached and recognised "lsusb" - should show 'Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)' <br> ! 3. Once installed, restart bluetooth daemon - unsure if this is necessary - documentation I read suggested it was... "/etc/init.d/bluetooth restart" <br> ! 4.0 Check to see if our BT adapter is installed and what its capabilities are "hciconfig -a" Should give something _similar_ to hci0: Type: USB <br> BD Address: 00:10:60:32:3A:93 ACL MTU: 384:8 SCO MTU: 64:8<br> UP RUNNING PSCAN<br> RX bytes:6448 acl:0 sco:0 events:270 errors:0<br> TX bytes:1309 acl:0 sco:0 commands:125 errors:0<br> Features: 0xff 0xff 0x8f 0xfe 0x9b 0xf9 0x00 0x80<br> Packet type: DM1 DM3 DM5 DH1 DH3 DH5 HV1 HV2 HV3<br> Link policy: RSWITCH HOLD SNIFF PARK<br> Link mode: SLAVE ACCEPT<br> Name: 'xxxxxx-0' HostName removed for security reasons<br> Class: 0x4a0100<br> Service Classes: Networking, Capturing, Telephony<br> Device Class: Computer, Uncategorized<br> HCI Ver: 2.0 (0x3) HCI Rev: 0x7a6 LMP Ver: 2.0 (0x3) LMP Subver: 0x7a6<br> Manufacturer: Cambridge Silicon Radio (10)<br> ! 4.1 Check our BT adapters hardware MAC Address and see if the bluez BT system has done any configuring with it "hciconfig version" hci0: Type: USB<br> BD Address: 00:10:60:32:3A:93 ACL MTU: 384:8 SCO MTU: 64:8<br> UP RUNNING PSCAN <br> RX bytes:961 acl:0 sco:0 events:27 errors:0<br> TX bytes:361 acl:0 sco:0 commands:27 errors:0<br> Check in /var/lib/bluetooth/00:10:60:32:3A:93 NOTE These numbers/colons constitute a MAC Address - note the fact that the MAC address is the same in 4.1 as it is in 4.0<br> <br> ! 5. Configure 'main.conf' in /etc/bluetooth - these appear to be the new location for BlueZ config 'Default adapter name' is used to label your BT adapter, so when you do a BT search on other BT devices, this is the name your Computer shows up as<br> Normally the default 'Name = %h-%d' uses your Computers HostName for the BT adapters name - recommend leaving as-is. <br> 'Default device class'<br> "0x4a0100"<br> NOTE: this is from what "hciconfig -a" gave us - find 'Class' and copy the similar 0x0xxxx hex? code into your main.conf - my main.conf had 0x000100 as the default value <br> ! 5.1 Make your BT adapter discoverable when you do a BT search from other BT devices "hciconfig hci0 piscan" - Check back to 'hciconfig' command - note it has a 'UP RUNNING PSCAN' section in it - re-run the (hciconfig) command, note it now has 'UP RUNNING PSCAN ISCAN ' in it - this must be what makes the BT adapter discoverable (i.e. viewable) <br> ! 6. "tail -f /var/log/daemon.log" - Constantly outputs any info from daemons (server processes eg dhcpd, bluetoothd, sambad) to screen ! 6.1 Stop the service called 'dbus' and 'bluetooth' - restart both making sure 'dbus' is started BEFORE 'bluetooth'<br> Do "/etc/init.d/bluetooth stop" and "/etc/init.d/dbus stop" and /etc/init.d/dbus start" and "/etc/init.d/bluetooth start"<br> ! 6.2 So far we have tried to do some configuring - now lets see if anything works Try to do a search for new devices 'Pair New Device' is what I tried on my cellphone. w00P! - I found my computer 'xxxxxx-0'<br> Doing the 'tail -f ...daemon.log' command, and trying to connect to my computer gives me<br> ' bluetoothd[8643]: pin_code_request (sba=00:10:60:32:3A:93, dba=00:18:0F:DE:98:8D)<br> bluetoothd[8643]: No agent available for 0 request<br> '<br> bluetoothd[8643]: pin_code_request (sba=00:10:60:32:3A:93, dba=00:18:0F:DE:98:8D) Nov 7 18:54:12 bluetoothd[8643]: No agent available for 0 request <br> ! 7. Unplugging, waiting a few seconds and then re-plugging my USB BT adapter bluetoothd[8154]: Adapter /org/bluez/8153/hci0 has been disabled<br> bluetoothd[8154]: Stopping security manager 0<br> bluetoothd[8154]: HCI dev 0 unregistered<br> bluetoothd[8154]: Unregister path: /org/bluez/8153/hci0<br> bluetoothd[8154]: HCI dev 0 registered<br> bluetoothd[8154]: HCI dev 0 up<br> bluetoothd[8154]: Starting security manager 0<br> bluetoothd[8154]: Adapter /org/bluez/8153/hci0 has been enabled<br> <br> ! 8. <br> ! 9. <br> ! Misc notes to self 'bluetoothd' is the bluetooth daemon - config files are located in '/etc/default/bluetooth' - this appears to be where BT mice/keyboards are configured. <br> Check man page for 'bluetooth-agent' and what it does <br> Unsure of how the BTd is activated to be ON as a service full-time. <br> '/var/lib/bluetooth/device-MAC???-address/linkkeys' appears to be the folder (and file 'linkkeys') where the devices 'Pairing' key or 'linkkey' is kept... <br> Check out the scripts "./simple-agent" (dot-slash to execute) hidden in '/usr/share/doc/bluez/examples/' <br> Appears to be a 'libpam-blue' module under Apt/Dpkg for authenticating Bluetooth devices... ref: PAM <br> !
