Re: understanding/troubleshooting gnokii

[Roberto Verzola]

Hi Raphael. Here are the results of the tests you suggested.

I inserted my bluetooth dongle into the usb port which I also use for
printing and reading usb flash disks, so I know that this usb port
works.

I used hcitool to get the port adress of the active bluetooth
device. Then I tried the commands.

address@hidden:~/HotlineSMS$ hcitool dev
Devices:
        hci1    00:15:83:07:C9:F6
address@hidden:~/HotlineSMS$ l2ping 00:15:83:07:C9:F6
Can't create socket: Operation not permitted
address@hidden:~/HotlineSMS$ sudo l2ping 00:15:83:07:C9:F6
[sudo] password for rverzola: 
Can't connect: No route to host
address@hidden:~/HotlineSMS$ sdptool browse 00:15:83:07:C9:F6
Failed to connect to SDP server on 00:15:83:07:C9:F6: No route to host
address@hidden:~/HotlineSMS$ sudo sdptool browse 00:15:83:07:C9:F6
Failed to connect to SDP server on 00:15:83:07:C9:F6: No route to host
address@hidden:~/HotlineSMS$ 

I also tried this variation:

address@hidden:~/HotlineSMS$ l2ping hci1
Can't create socket: Operation not permitted
address@hidden:~/HotlineSMS$ sudo l2ping hci1
Can't connect: Host is down
