Bluetooth in Puppy 5.2.8 with Blueman + Python
#1 Post by alwaysalonee » Fri 30 Nov 2012, 12:52
This article explains you ‘how to connect to the Internet with your Bluetooth and mobile when you are using XFCE Window Manager.
If you don’t use XFCE window manager then it’s better follow this
because it’s easy and its Bluetooth files will take small space.
Note :
I am using Lucid Puppy 5.2.8 With XFCE Window Manager
I suggest you to create a save file at-least 512 MB because blueman+python .pet will take big space
Step 2 :
You may get error saying ‘failed to apply network setting’ simply press OK
select menu go to setting and select wm switcher, select jwm and press Restart X
Step 3 :
in ‘jwm’ right click select utility and open ‘roxterm’
and copy and paste following code
#!/bin/sh
dbus-uuidgen —ensure &
dbus-daemon —system
modprobe bluetooth
modprobe l2cap
modprobe rfcomm
modprobe btusb
/usr/local/sbin/hciconfig hci0 up
/usr/local/sbin/hciconfig hci0 class 0x3e0100
mknod -m 666 /dev/rfcomm0 c 216 0
/usr/local/sbin/bluetoothd
mkdir /root/a
hcitool scan
blueman-applet
If you get error ‘failed to apply network settings’ than again press OK and you will find bluetooth manager icon as per picture shown below ..
Check The Attachment For Image
if you dont get that icon than close roxterm in which you pasted above code and open new roxterm and type lxtask and search for blueman-applet if you find it than right click and kill it than redo this step
Step 4 :
now click on that icon and select search and pair your mobile device
(if it does not scan a bluetooth device make sure you have selected always visible or discoverable in your mobile device. if it still is not scanning make sure the bluetooth device of your computer is on and attached properly. You can check if puppy linux has detected your computer’s bluetooth device in Menu->System->HardwareInfo in that select USB to check.)
Step 5 :
Now navigate to the /etc/ppp from your file manager.
in ppp goto chatscripts directory, now right click and select create new file named gprs and paste following code ..
ABORT ERROR
ABORT RING
ABORT BUSY
ABORT VOICE
ABORT «NO CARRIER»
ABORT «NO ANSWER»
#ABORT «NO DIALTONE»
REPORT CONNECT
«» «ATZ»
OK ‘AT+cgdcont=1,»IP»,»enter your ISP APN here»‘
OK ATD*99***1#
TIMEOUT 60
CONNECT \c
you’ll need to provide APN address in my case it looks like this ..
OK ‘AT+cgdcont=1,»IP»,»tata.docomo.internet»‘
or may be even change the dial number though *99***1# should work, if not try *99#
did that ? ok, now go to ppp again and goto peers directory and right click to create new file and name it gprs and paste following code ..
noauth
connect «/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/ppp/chatscripts/gprs»
/dev/rfcomm0
1152000
defaultroute
noipdefault

usepeerdns
Step 6 :
Now click console icon from desktop and type hcitool scan it would be like ..
sh-4.1# hcitool scan
Scanning .

18:14:56:CA:9E:42 is mac address of my mobile bluetooth device and Yo is my mobile bluetooth’s name copy the mac address and browse your mobile also save mac address somewhere you’ll need it in next steps e.g.
sh-4.1# sdptool browse 18:14:56:CA:9E:42

Step 7 :

#!/bin/sh
modprobe bluetooth
modprobe l2cap
modprobe rfcomm
modprobe hci_usb
mknod -m 666 /dev/rfcomm0 c 216 0

# in the following line change mac address and channel number for your phone
rfcomm bind /dev/rfcomm0 18:14:56:CA:9E:42 1

pppd call gprs
gxmessage -center -bg «light green» -title «PPPD calling. » -buttons «EXIT» «PPPD calling. press EXIT for exiting GPRS connection»
killall pppd
rfcomm release /dev/rfcomm0
killall rfcomm
killall hcid
kill $(ps|grep GPRS_co)
exit
in above script, in bold and italic line , you’ll need to change the mac address and channel number as you saved it, Ok so now we all set up , you just need to click Connect and it’ll connect to your mobile and will create internet connection.
if it is not connecting to your mobile first try following in console
rfcomm connect 0 your-mac-address chennal-number
e.g. rfcomm connect 0 18:14:56:CA:9E:42 1
and then click Connect script file it should work fine ..
