mauricioandresg Registered Member Posts 9 Karma 0 OS	Bluetooth problem Tue Mar 19, 2013 4:32 am Hello to the community, I have a problem with my bluetooth on my Acer V5-571p using Kubuntu 12.10 The problem is that even that KDE shows my bluetooth and I can turn it on or off, is useless because other devices can't discover my notebook, also I can't discover any devices. I really use bluetooth, and I want to use it on Kubuntu, any ideas? lsusb prompt: mauricio@mauricio-Aspire-V5-571P:~$ lsusb Bus 001 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp.

If you right click on the Bluetooth menu item presented by KDE in the System Tray, is "Discoverable" checked? Also, does running the following return any results with discoverable devices in the vicinity? Code: Select all `hcitool scan` KDE Sysadmin [img]content/bcooksley_sig.png[/img]

Assuming you have discoverable devices in range, this means that your system is having trouble operating the bluetooth adapter. Can you please check the out the output of "dmesg" to see if anything relating to bluetooth is mentioned? Messages relating to firmware are particularly relevant.

I'm sorry for the late reply, for the moment I can't use Linux any more, since my external hard drive died and my laptop has the UEFI system, so I can't boot Linux safelty Thanks for the help anyway, you can close this topic.
