maemo.org - Talk - Introducing BlueMaemo

Command not found, it's not in synaptic either. Judging by the whole k in front if it, it's likely from KDE.

I've also tried it in Windows Vista, it connects fine with the HIDD profile, and bluemaemo will show it's connected, but it oddly won't transfer anything (i press G on the keyboard in tablet and nothing shows up in Vista). It also disconnects frequently.

Maybe it's because I'm not using the default Microsoft bluetooth stack. Gotta figure out how to revert to it (I installed some other bluetooth device drivers/software to get Wiimote compatibility).

Edit: Installing KDE bluetooth.

Look at the video.

Ah neat, I didn't see. This allows for remote control on devices which don't run RDP server, SSH server, NX server, VNC server(, and so on).

Connect laptop to TV. Watch movie. Use NIT to control remote while lying on the couch.

Listen to music in bed on computer. Use NIT to control remote, and eventually shut it down.

Heck, or presentations.

Something else. Could someone make a video with this controlling Fennec on a remote machine? Or try this out? I bet the performance is then acceptable, and one can try Fennec out much easier. On the video using the small scrollbar seems quite unpleasant.

It seems that the dependency problem is fixed by merely installing Canola2. So if you're experiencing that problem, just go ahead and install the canola repo and canola itself.

allnameswereout: I still don't think you get it. This turns your N8*0 into a bluetooth input device (keyboard / mouse) for a bluetooth-enabled PC. This isn't a replacement for VNC; you don't see the remote desktop on your tablet or anything...

Its not a dependency problem, just AFAIR the Application Manager doesn't resolve dependencies for debs that are not in a repo.

Re: Introducing BlueMaemo

Ok, I have it installed so far, but now I am experiencing other problems.

Here is my command line output (from PC, Ubuntu Hardy)

david@david-laptop:~$ hcitool scan
Scanning ...
00:19:4F:DB:07:CA Nokia N800
00:1E:A3:8C:E2:37 Nokia 6555b
david@david-laptop:~$ sudo hidd -connect 00:19:4F:DB:07:CA
Can't get device information: Host is down
david@david-laptop:~$

I also can't pair my N800 to the PC, it fails before I even get a chance to put in the PIN. In fact, it doesn't even show the PIN. Attempting to pair from my PC to the N800 also fails..

Looks like I have a bluetooth problem. I can pair my phone to my PC and N800 just fine.

UPDATE: Apparently the pairing problem is fixed. I had a default pincode set up in hcid,conf, when I set my N800 to use that it paired instantly.

UPDATE 2: Still doesnt work, N800 can be paired now, but I can't browse the device via bluetooth, neither can I get bluemaemo to work.

Update 3: Just tested in Windows Vista, same hardware, works like a charm. But I use Ubuntu way more often, so it looks like I'm having a problem there.

UPDATE 4: WTF!? I changed -connect to --connect and it worked. O.o

I have it on N800 running Diablo, and N810 running Chinook. Installed without problems, as both already had Canola.

Tested on a Windows XP laptop (MS BT stack), works like a charm !

The presentation mode is kickass... too bad it didn't come out a week earlier, I could have flaunted it before a 50+ crowd :-)

Thanks for a great app !

The only disappointment is that it installs, but doesn't run, on a 770 with OS2008HE (exits with "illegal instruction" on the console). Canola also installs but doesn't run, so maybe the two are connected...

I'd love to turn that old 770 into a house remote... now we must bug Nokia for an OS2008HE update ! :-)

Re: Introducing BlueMaemo

The processor in 770 differs, so it should be compiled with specific optimizations to run on it.
