This is a collection of tips and information regarding blueman, a GTK+ bluetooth manager. The information here was originally collated from the AUR thread at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=13870.
Contents
Installation
# pacman -S blueman
Be sure to add the bluetooth daemon to rc.conf and start blueman with blueman-applet.
Blueman and pulseaudio
Users who want to use pulseaudio with a bluetooth headset may want to activate the pulseaudio plugin of Blueman. This automatically loads pulseaudio bluetooth module after audio device is connected and plays all audio through the bluetooth headset.
Troubleshooting
Blueman and Thunar
As long as you have gvfs-obexftp installed, you can use thunar from blueman to browse files remotely. Open up the blueman services configuration window and replace
nautilus --browse obex://
with
thunar obex://
NOW obsolete! >> Workaround for a Bug with obex and gvfs
To browse mobile phone via nautilus with blueman you need a patched gvfs. Install gvfs-rar from AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=23861
obex-data-server package is broken for now and needs to rebuild with:
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc
Just grab it from ABS and rebuild.
>>For me now with actual obex-data-server and standard gvfs all is working fine (Yes obex-browsing too) the only thing is delete files on remote storage do not work.
Workaround a bug with network manager in bluetooth networking
Some distributions show all bluetooth interfaces as net.80203, which can cause strange behaviour in network manager, for example NM trying to get dhcp address for an incoming connection.
This is for versions <= 1.01, versions 1.02 and up will include this patch.
Put this in /etc/hal/fdi/information/bnep.fdi:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="info.category" string="net.80203">
<match key="net.interface" contains="bnep">
<merge key="info.category" type="string">net.bluetooth</merge>
<merge key="info.product" type="string">Bluetooth Interface</merge>
<merge key="info.capabilities" type="strlist">net, net.bluetooth</merge>
<merge key="net.bluetooth.mac_address" type="copy_property">net.80203.mac_address</merge>
<remove key="net.80203.mac_address"/>
</match>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
Can't receive files
You have to edit /etc/conf.d/bluetooth file and uncomment this line:
#SDPD_ENABLE="true"
