Awesome thread... But my basic prb lies in my cell being detected in Ubuntu (provided in June 07 DIGIT issue).

I use N72 n connect it thru cable to my laptop. Now my prb. is dat Ubuntu doesnt show my cell connected newhr. How do I come to knw dat my cell is connected n I can proceed wit steps mentioned above?

Akshay use CLI man. You can easily know if it's connected or not.

hcitool con

will give you if it's connected or not

hcitool lq

will show the link quality

Mehul, why would he want hcitool for cable ?

 

[mehulved]

Ha didn't notice that. This thread is for bluetooth so I took it as bluetooth, didn't read it carefully as I was in hurry. This should have gone into other sticky.

^^ actually i had added a 2nd tut for internet in ubuntu thru data cable wen i got a new cell... see the 1st post...

 

[kaustav_geek]

Hmm.... Is it the process same for a dial-up(BSNL) connection via an inbuilt modem ? I don't have one, but a friend has one. I think the modem is automatically recognised so nothing special has to be done right ? He's having problems setting it up.

in ubuntu to use root use "sudo" in front of every command that requires u to be in root instaed of "su"

Today I was experimenting with my Dad's Ubuntu 7.04 system regarding Bluetooth Pairing .. But as usual the problem persisted and authentication failed..
So I tried the reverse method i.e. rather than pairing via PC I used my mobile to locate my computer and VOILA.. succeeded..
Paired up my mobile with PC and activated DUN..and posting from there

 

[mehulved]

Akshay please move your queries to proper thread. It's getting confusing. Your queries certainly don't belong to this thread.

Thats what I do with all the distros.... After reinstalling Sabayon, I couldn't get DUN to work....As usual, the pairing problem. So, I tried the reverse... They work

sticky may be enough.but a link from Ubuntu-India forum too:

Eh! pairing up in Ubuntu is always a pain anyways you can try your luck.

1> Append this in /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf in 'options' section :

autoinit yes;
dbus_pin_helper;

2> Create pin file via this :

$ sudo echo "1234" > /etc/bluetooth/pin

3> Restart Bluetooth device :

$ sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart

Then try pairing by both means via PC or Mobile

*www.ubuntu-in.org/wiki/GPRS_Howto

Its says pair up your mobile issuing following commands:

$ sudo hcitool cc your-phone-mac-address
$ sudo hcitool auth your-phone-mac-address

Well tried this gazillion times but never worked for me
