Bluetooth Problem on Slackware 12.2

Filed under: Linux - arman @ 3:25 am

I use bluetooth for : remote presentation, file transfer, etc. but problem appear while use with slackware 12.2. Bluetooth on systray fail, looks like no bluetooth device available.

I thought, maybe the library. Try to recompile gnome-bluetooth, kde bluetooth, but all has same result : none.
Try to “googling” and finally found this link, and the problem because slackware use old config file while use newer version of program.

The solution is : change line in /etc/dbus-1/system.conf :

<allow send_requested_reply="true" send_type="method_return"/>

to
<allow send_requested_reply="true"/>

dan
<allow receive_requested_reply="true" receive_type="method_return"/>

to
<allow receive_requested_reply="true"/>

restart dbus, and bluetooth should work now
