Connecting a Nokia 6630 to my Linux box using a USB-Bluetooth adapter.
Just got home with a Belkin Bluetooth USB adapter.
First step: I search on Adept (or Synaptic) for all Bluetooth packages and see that I have everything installed that looks relevant.
Second Step: I plug the device into a USB port. KDE tells me it has found the device, great! Kbluetoothd starts and a Bluetooth-ish Icon appears on my system tray.
Now, the real goal was to be able to talk to my Nokia 6630 phone. Clicking on the Icon opens a Konqueror window with one entry for my Nokia 6630 (I had previously activated the Bluetooth interface on it). Opening shows me several options.
Trying to open, for example, the OBEX File Transfer prompts my phone for a password. Here is where you have to actually read the kbluetooth documentation: you have to edit your /etc/Bluetooth/hcid.conf file according to this!
After restarting the bluez services (On my kubuntu box by doing
sudo /etc/init.d/bluez-utils restart)
Everything works.
