Ever since I've published my post Sync Moto Razr with Laptop, a few people have asked me how I setup bluetooth on my ubuntu feisty laptop in the first place.
This setup was seamless and I got my motorola razr phone talking to my laptop in minutes. Here's what I had to do
This setup was seamless and I got my motorola razr phone talking to my laptop in minutes. Here's what I had to do
- sudo apt-get install bluetooth gnome-bluetooth
- sudo apt-get install bluez-gnome bluez-utils
- Plugin my bluetooth USB dongle and I see it recognizes the device and starts up bluetooth-applet in the system tray.
- Search for laptop from the phone using bluetooth.
- To send a file from phone to laptop, startup bluetooth file sharing from Applications -> Accessories on ubuntu and then try sending a file. You should see a pop up dialog on your desktop asking you to either accept/reject the transfer.
- To send a file from your laptop to your phone, right click the file and then select sendTo.
- You'll receive a message on your phone asking you to accept the transfer.
Hope this helps. Please leave me a comment if this was useful or if you had to do something different. I'll be only glad to update this tutorial.
