@infra_dude:I think the entire linux partition ("/") can be dd'ed to another partition which is bigger to accomodate even better if the linux partition is below 4.2GB or so it can be dumped into a dvd too right ? or wrong

 

[infra_red_dude]

^^^ Yeah, thats rite Prakash

thats why we have chroot

 

[praka123]

^dude,chroot is for servers and for recovering operations on / linux partitions.what i am trying to say is that u can use dd,diskdump utility to have the partition backed up see "man dd" or for corrput cd/dvd recovery use "dd_rescue" read man dd_rescue for more details.

This guide will help you: *news.softpedia.com/news/Transfer-Files-With-Bluetooth-on-Ubuntu-47565.shtml

 

[iMav]

thanx for the link it works for sending from pc to mobile but the mobile says unnable to connect wen i try to send from fone to pc

gr8, even bluetooth support is not there out of the box , now don't say there are license restrictions for this too...lolz...

Guess it is revealed now how much better "out of the box experience" Ubuntu provides over Vista. U have to work for 10 days to get it to work first

 

[infra_red_dude]

^^^ I've already mentioned that point in the "Review" thread by iMav. BT support is out of the box. The only problem is the interface to configure needs to be install. You don't need any driver or anything for 99% of BT hardware.

Those were the only BT packages I needed to install. Everything works great wid my SE phone, even Remote control!

Mebbe there's some problem wid the settings in your phone. You may wanna check that out.

kya yaar ... its working when i send files to other fones and windows

 

[gxsaurav]

The only problem is the interface to configure needs to be install.

Again, this means bad out of the box support for bluetooth. U need to install various packages first to get it to work. Can u transfer files to & fro without installing those packages first?

 

[infra_red_dude]

^^^ Bhai mere, kindly bother to read my post in the "other" thread. I've mentioned it clearly that this is one of the "genuine" flaws in Ubuntu!

Kindly, do not turn this thread into an OS war again.

Out of the box support and Out of the experience are two different things!

@iMav
I dunno if this has something to do wid nokia phone. But my SE phone and even Moto phones work flawlessly (file transfer, BT HID etc.) by just installing the packages mentioned in that article.

I guess in Windows you've installed some BT stack (Widcomm or Bluesoleil). Mebbe they take care of some settings or there mebbe some settings to be done on the comp which these software do by themselves. Just check for BT options in System > Prefs menu (in case something needs to be set, or if the discovery is set to OFF).

^^ iv dwnldd the packages given in the add/remove panel also they have obex support .... and exx my fone is a fone that can pwn the ifone in features any day: nokia 6600

I don't recall me saying anything about your phone other than But anyway whats your phone model out of curiosity. I only have a Nokia 6681 I think the capabilities are the same so I dont understand why mines would work while yours would not.

Since you think that I am lying I would like to post you some screen-shots. Please note uploading this on a dialup is kind of a pain.

The only package you need to check for if I read right is gnome-vfs-obexftp. If you have that than try obexfs. I'm sorry in advance if you already did that from the links or posts mentioned above but I'm not going to go through the whole thread on my connection at the moment. Maybe at work tomorrow.

Again, this means bad out of the box support for bluetooth. U need to install various packages first to get it to work. Can u transfer files to & fro without installing those packages first?

Yes . If you don't contribute helping a post then why degrade it at all?

Offtopic :

I didn't contribute anything in this thread, so please feel free to delete this post - totally off topic, but couldn't resist.

Yes . If you don't contribute helping a post then why degrade it at all?

Exactly. By reading his posts it is very clear whats his intension !!!!

And one thing surprises me - iMav seems to be a good boy at least in the OSS section (may be temporary ? lol), hes not listening to gx at all (wow, am I dreaming?).

GX, this thread is not for listing what Ubuntu miss, what Ubuntu can't do, how to compare the resource usage of Ubuntu to Vista etc. If you really want to do such a comparision, why not starting one in the fight section instead ?

You can see in the OSS section, things are way different. See how many replies / suggestions / how much help iMav got (176 posts and 1,423 views in a short span of time and almost all posts except mine and yours, are really helpful too). Keep that spirit. If you can't contribute something to this thread, there is absolutely no need to post at all !

i dont need proofs that it works i need some options to fiddle around o make my fone and pc communicate

Do you have this package installed or not?

(Removed double post)

Before trying the link below I recommend this one. *www.hingston.demon.co.uk/mike/nokia6680.html
This works flawlessly in my scenario.

By the way check out this also *multisync.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php?Nokia6600Instructions

 

[DukeNukem]

there is no need to install all the softwares!(few n00bs does that!)

Ahhhh you hurt my feelings (lol)

gr8, Ubuntu 7.10 & Linux Mint 4.0 LiveCD refuses to boot here.I get a black screen with white cursor then the whole screen goes black & nothing happens

Yeah you don't have to get it working. Its of no use to you, your monitor isn't properly connected.
