[SOLVED]Dell n5010 bluetooth not working

I am new to arch linux and I can not figure out how to configure my bluetooth. I installed bluez, b43, broadcom-wl, broadcom-sta-dkms but none of them worked. I am using gnome and gnome-bluetooth shows "No Bluetooth adapters found".

Following are output of some command

$ lsusb | grep Bluetooth

Re: [SOLVED]Dell n5010 bluetooth not working

I'm also trying to get my BT work today ๐Ÿ‘ smile

To find the sys path of a device:

udevadm info --query=path --name=/usb/path/of/device

Still digging the whole Internet ๐Ÿ‘ sad
Hope we could solve this soon.

Re: [SOLVED]Dell n5010 bluetooth not working

I got curious and I logged into ubuntu on my system and saw that it was using btusb instead of bnep (which arch was using), so I executed following command

$ sudo modprobe btusb

Then after restart I saw that gnome-bluetooth was able to see the adapter and I can pair devices, but can not transfer files or listen on my bluetooth headset.
I will post here if there is any development. ๐Ÿ‘ smile

Re: [SOLVED]Dell n5010 bluetooth not working

I'm not that quite lucky since both btusb and bnep are loaded by default in my system.

My computer is fairly similar to yours ๐Ÿ‘ big_smile

Updated:
I finally solved the problem. In my system settings there was this "sharing" button.
On opening it, I found bluetooth sharing was disabled and so I enabled it. After that I can send files as well as listen on by bluetooth headset ๐Ÿ‘ big_smile

Re: [SOLVED]Dell n5010 bluetooth not working

I've solved my problem.

BCM2046 Bluetooth Card requires package bluez-hid2hci.

Udev will automatically change interface from HID to HCI after reboot. No manual configuration needed.

Run "sudo hciconfig hci0 up" to bring up the controller before using, or create a udev rule for enabling it at boot.

Re: [SOLVED]Dell n5010 bluetooth not working

Bump thread for update:

_If you need to communicate with bluetooth device over serial interface, please follow this post.

_File transfer: I only managed to send file to my Blackberry 9000 (which supports OBEX Push) using bluetooth-sendto command. This command comes with package gnome-bluetooth. Still unable to receive.

@pushkard8723: I guess your DE is GNOME. I'm using the GNOME-based DE Cinnamon, whose bluetooth extersion is currently incompatible with GNOME 3.10. Will have to wait for further support.

Re: [SOLVED]Dell n5010 bluetooth not working

@longcao: I don't know about bluetooth compatibility with cinnamon but I know how to mount bluetooth devices using command line. After which you can copy it to another folder.

To mount

obexfs -b MAC:ADDR:OF:DEV /path/to/dir

To unmount

fusermount -u /path/to/dir
