Hi guys…
I am using opensuse 13.1
Sadly i can’t get my bluetooth to work
i am using dell vostro 2520 laptop and my wifi is perfectly working but not my bluetooth .
If you want any information i can get u those,. Please help me…
Start with
usb-devices
or
/usr/sbin/hwinfo --bluetooth
and
/usr/sbin/rfkill list
Also, tell us which desktop environment you’re using.
Hi,
On some laptops (like mine) you need to toggle some FN + F# key to enable/disable bluetooth device.
I had similar issue. I ended up ordering different wifi module from eBay. Got AR5B22 (Atheros 9462 chipset I think), it has got BT4 built-in plus dual band capability (802.11abgn). Dell laptop would need Dell branded wifi module (probable laptop bios whitelisting) but such can be found in eBay as well. Works perfectly with OpenSuse 13.2 and Tumbleweed (tested 2,4Ghz and 5Ghz wlan and Bluetooth file transfers, all seems to function just fine)
For the first code i got this

Okay, so the device is detected (using the btusb module as expected).
0: hci0: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
and ready to work as far as I can tell.
I’m not a Gnome user, but I assume you have ‘gnome-bluetooth’ installed?
What do you specifically want to do with it? You might want to be a bit more specific with telling us what you’ve tried, any errors you’re getting etc
actually no errors and all, but it goes on search for devices after i do so.
It won’t detect anything but goes on searching …
That’s all
Are you doing this via CLI commands or some Gnome utility?
Try the following
sudo hciconfig hci0 up
hcitool scan
The following reference may be useful to you
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bluetooth
well i did do the first command and didn’t get any output
For the second it just scanned a for a few seconds then nothing happened…
And sorry to say that i didn’t get the question u asked about gnome or something thanks…
You won’t get any output, but hopefully the hci0 device is then present. Check with
hciconfig
For reference, I get
hci0: Type: BR/EDR Bus: USB
BD Address: 00:1E:37:B5:D4:B7 ACL MTU: 1017:8 SCO MTU: 64:8
UP RUNNING PSCAN ISCAN
RX bytes:501 acl:0 sco:0 events:23 errors:0
TX bytes:347 acl:0 sco:0 commands:23 errors:0
And sorry to say that i didn’t get the question u asked about gnome or something thanks…
Well, I’m trying to understand whether you were trying to use some bluetooth utility to get connectivity, and what type of BT device are you trying to get working? I’m not familiar with the Gnome utilities. Others might be able to help if you can provide more information.
