No wine!!
Posts: 56
I'm sure one of you experts can tell me which button I forgot to press.
I installed wine on my laptop but no little glass of wine icon appeared anywhere.
I tried running wine but nothing happened!
If I have wine then how do I get it to work?
I tried putting a windows CD into the computer ... but I just got a load of window files which I did not know what to do with. Isn't wine supposed to emulate a windows environment allowing me to, in this particular instance, install a windows based program (I am trying to install bluetooth software, driver and manual)?
... So what I have forgotten?
... Or am I being a naughty boy!
...but this wine is not really my cup of tea either!!

... Thanks Kos ... you're probably going to hate me for this but ...
...the wiki talks about modifying the applications tab ... what is that?? I cannot find any applications tab ... AAAARGH!
... I don't really want to use wine but I want to get my bluetooth working so I thought rather than do all the techno stuff ALL I need to do is to load the windows CD in wine then all should be well in the world.

That's a rather long to walk to get bluetooth working...
How to setup wine and run winecfg is explained here:
http://www.mepis.org/docs/en/index.php/Wine_setup
After that I'll be quiet, since I know nuttin' about Wine.
Someone else will probably step in to help you with wine.
Or with helping to get bluetooth working - provided you tell what the problem is there (and some hardware details).
Good luck.

I now have wine ... but it is an empty glass ...

Your last comment worked ... and I now have a windows folder ... thanks.
Unfortunately it will still not do anything with the CD.
Close ... but no cigar.
I have asked on one of the MEPIS forums about getting bluetooth to work but I'm not getting very much response ... I might be a bit impatient there so I'll give it another day to se if anyone can help.
Your right about trying to get bluetooth working via windows ... its not something I want. But the cd that came with the adapter is for windows - and seems to imply that once it has been loaded then bluetooth should work immediately - with little to no fuss.
However, I am really enjoying MEPIS ... and it seems to have a lot of relevant applications in order for bluetooth to work. My problem is that the adapter that I have ( a Belkin F8T012) just sits snugly in the usb port with its blue light ... but the laptop simply cannot see it. My feeling is that I need to be able to configure the laptop before it begins to see the mobile phone (Erricson K810).
I just do not know how ... I've gone through the KbluetoothD configuration window - but I have no choices to make. And the pairing dialogue also does nor show any adapter.
Ironically, when I remove the adapter, the laptop tells me it can no longer see it ... but it didn't see it in the first place ... and so the story repeats itself ...
Thank you for your help ... if you have ANY other helpful suggestions I will be very happy to hear them.
Check out for incorrect driver....

I'm not sure it applies to your Mepis situation (the situation described is with Ubuntu). Check it out:

No Pegasus driver
Posts: 56
Thanks Kos,
I've checked it out and done a search for pegasus but have found none.
However, I would like double check by doing what the man says - which is to edit /etc/ ... but I don't know how to. I know how to su ... but what do I have to do to edit /etc/?
Not pegasus but the ethernet driver on YOUR system

Find out which ethernet driver is being used on your system. Let's assume it is called 'enetdriver'. Then do as root in a terminal as follows (I removed the space between /etc/ and modprobe.d/blacklist that shouldn't be there and replaced 'pegasus' with 'enetdriver')
Yes ! this usb key works on linux, but on feisty (i don’t know for others distros), the ethernet driver Pegasus is loaded instead of the good one.A way to make it works, is to blacklist the ethernet module.
Just (as root) edit the file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and add the line :
blacklist enetdriver
then, the right driver (bcm203x) will be claimed at the adapter insertion.
That’s all.
Enjoy.

Hi Kos,
I have done as you said up to a point ... this is what happened (and this is in root - like I used su - thats right isn't it?):
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
bash: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist: Permission denied
You just tried to run that
Posts: 4077
You just tried to run that file instead of editing, to edit you need to open it into a text editor, like this
kedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
or
nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
or
vi /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
or
kwrite /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
etc.

Thanks for the impute Adrian,
... Ive managed to do that using kwrite.
... so now I put the bluetooth in ... I presume I go to system settings and find the bluetooth config file ... open it ... as it opens I get the following message:
The KDE Bluetooth Daemon (kbluetoothd) is needed and was started.
... then that little window remains with my cursor now a watch ...it is as though I need to do something ... but the question is what?
Well, I click OK and get the following message - three times!:
Failed to connect to the SDP server

in order to get the dongle to be seen by the laptop do I blacklist via_rhine?

Yes, I suppose so. I have not paid full attention to the thread, but noticed you were advised to blacklist the ethernet module, so I helped you find it. So blacklist the module and see what happens.

It does exactly the same thing as I mentioned earlier.
I restarted the laptop - plugged in the dongle - opened bluetooth services in system configurations - I get windows telling me that the daemon needs to be started - followed by no sdp window three times.

open a console:

- /etc/init.d/bluez-utils start
now try again

Very interesting ...
Posts: 56
you're getting closer ...when I opened bluetooth in sys configs this time there were no messages ... and there are now three local services ... but no other clue to tell me how I can get the mobile to speak to the laptop.
I have bluetooth turned on in the mobile but the laptop is giving no indication that anything is happening ... what am I not doing? Do I need to configure something?
mobile can now see the laptop
Posts: 56
I made the phone visible and looked for a device ... and voila! there is the laptop!!
But the laptop requires a passcode. I thought I read that I can just type 0000 but when I did the phone told me that the code did not match the code on the laptop ... but I haven't typed in a code on the laptop yet! Where do I do that?
Well, I have no idea, since

Well, I have no idea, since I don't even have bluetooth.
You are not done BTW, since you need to make sure that the bluetooth daemon starts with every boot. The easiest way to do that is this:
- open a console
- su
- cd /etc/init.d
- ln -s bluez-utils /etc/rc5.d/S40bluez-utils
Done.
For the other issue, someone needs to jump in. I advise you open a different thread. Also, you can post at mepislovers.org, since it has more users and is more oriented towards application issues.

no such file
Posts: 56
... after cd/etc/init.d it said no such file or folder ...
... I missed the space ...
Posts: 56
... Soory I didn't see the space ... I did both the lines ... now I get an error when the phone is trying to connect to the laptop. The error says on the laptop that there is an application error trying to connect to the phone - and the phone says that the passcode does not match with the one on the laptop
authentication error

... actually the error message on the laptop is an authentication error ... which seems to match the error on the mobile ... so how do I authenticate it?
Are you saying that I should take these questions to the mepislovers forum?
