Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Bluez works best if the dbus-daemon was runnning. I noticed that puppy does not run Dbus on boot. For fossapup or earlier puppy, do the following Edit /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit and add these line at the part before connecting to network and starting services dbus-daemon --system Edit /etc/rc.d/rc ...

greengeek The Bluez was too old for pBluetooth 4.0 pBluetooth 4.0 requires Bluez 5.0 onwards for older Bluez I suggest to use pBluetooth 3.x, get it from old puppy forum. I suggest to install all bluez packages except libbluedevil and python bluez Also you will need to edit /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit and ...

I noticed that puppy doesn't start dbus-daemon. Starting dbus-daemon will greatly help and most linux applications requires dbus. I made a pull request on woof-ce which starts dbus on boot before connectiong to network and starting any services. Also stops dbus upon all services stopped and ...

peebee One more thing, I found a critical bug on PPM which can cause corrupted package entry to be inserted at /var/packages/user-installed-packages and makes the installed package unable to remove from the system. This bug triggers if a package from third party source was installed. The fix was on ...

peebee For me, I noticed some applications requires polkit to run. Polkitd will be executed upon starting dbus (which was currently missing in puppy). Right now I'm installing xfce desktop environment. I sucessfully ran xfce-power-manager, pulseaudio, and now the network-manager which was ...

peebee On lxpupsc 20.06, I noticed that polkit daemon failed to run due to missing symbols and missing libmozjs. Reinstalling polkit and installing libmozjs came from rpm packages will do the trick. I also able to run upower and pulseaudio. However the problem was unable to run pavucontrol. I tried ...

@JASpup

Sadly to say that woof-CE generated Puppy was optimized for ROX-Filer and JWM only not desktop agnostic. There some efforts to make puppy a desktop agnotic but with little progress.

XFCE is a rock solid lightweight desktop environment. The really problem on XFCE are here are follows:
* Missing icons on application menu, panels, and whisker menu
* Blank settings manager
* Some missing items on settings manager
* Missing/brokern icons on settings manager

TerryH bluez-obexd is the name of obexd in Ubuntu, Debian, and Fedora. Thanks for testing sending files via bluetooth the list functionalities posted on the first post of this thread is now updated. BarryK I use this norgo 's method to pair bluetooth devices { printf 'pairable on\n\n' printf ...

A little success, just sent a file from laptop to phone using pbluetooth alpha 2. Attempts to send from phone to laptop failed. In bionicpup32 I am able to pair/unpair earphones and phone. Unfortunately attempts to connect are failing. Similar results in Fossapup64, can pair but not connect with ...

I think it's time to update again the X-Slacko by rebuilding it from Slackware Current with latest Xorg and Glibc

Right now we need testers to test the pBluetooth features which was not yet tested. It was mentioned on the first post of this thread which features are needed to test.

Clarity Maybe, but my goal here was to easily manage Bluetooth devices with less disk space consumed. Blueman, Bluedevil, and Gnome-Bluetooth are bloated. pBluetooth started from abandoned PuppyBT by @fr33land. It was based from Bluez 4, it was a messed, requires exotic Bluez tools and works on 32 ...

norgo It finally works! Thanks! I made some modifications from your code in order to pair without entering PIN { printf 'pairable on\n\n' printf 'discoverable on\n\n' printf 'agent off\n\n' sleep 1 printf 'agent NoInputNoOutput\n\n' sleep 1 printf 'default-agent\n\n' sleep 1 printf 'scan on\n\n ...

Thanks @norgo
I wonder if bluez api on dbus-send works for pairing bluetooth device?

@step thanks for observation. As of now I searching on how to pair bluetooth devices using bluetoothctl. Otherwise use the bluez api via dbus-send. Also the bluetooth scanning using bluetoothctl was very unreliable, it always shows the pair devices even those devices was not present on the host ...

@norgo

Nice. Can you please try the pBluetooth and see if the device pairing works on slacko 700RC3?
I use Bluez 5.36 on LxPupSc

Pairing bluetooth is the one of the biggest problem in Bluez Before bluez5 you must need bluetooth-agent or bt-agent in order to pair Bluetooth devices. Since bluez5 those commands are seems to be dropped in favor of Bluetoothctl which makes easier however there is a problem I tried to install ...

pBluetooth 4.0 alpha was released

I need help to make pairing bluetooth device works using either bluetoothctl or dbus-send api

I successfully reinvented the GUI of pBluetooth. Managing the paired devices is now on GUI unlike from previous pBluetooth. Accessing its device feature works. However I'm having a problem with bluetooth scanning. It works best with hcitool however it seems depreciated on upstream in favor of ...

Previously I created pBluetooth 3.x which is a Bluetooth device management tool based from abandoned project by @fr33land which works on Bluez4 only. Although it works however it was a very messy code Right now I tried to build a new pBluetooth forked from a project of russian puppy developer which ...

@TerryH

Did you plug/unplug your HDMI device upon boot/shutdown TazPuppy?

@TerryH

May I see the onboard-devices.lst from /var/hwdata when you started TazPuppy? Please upload here on this thread

TerryH Based from boot logs hat you send I saw this line from the boot log ******* Last soundcard 8086:160c 8086:9ca0 ----------- Current soundcard 8086:9ca0 ******* The sound device 8086:160c seems appear and disappear. I wonder what audio device is this? That's why I asked if there is external ...

TerryH Did you always installed external audio device/soundcard on your computer? ALSA auto configuration triggers if the last installed audio devices upon shutdown does not match with audio devices installed upon boot. Can you please do the following? 1. Boot tazpuppy on pristine state, run alsa ...
