Hey guys,
Sorry to dig up an old thread like this but I only recently came across this blueserial business. Anyways I had the same problems as ye, the cu command not found crap.
So I obtained the source code for uucp (the package which cu comes from) and I compiled it in the maemo sandbox. I copied the newly compiled cu binary to the 770 and typing "./cu --help" actually prints the help messages unlike the old one where I would only get the "cu: not found" message.
I had to edit the blueserial script so that the line which calls cu had "./cu" instead of just "cu" as otherwise I got the old cu not found message.
Now I've come across a new problem, "Permission denied" when it tries to create files in the /usr/ directory. First it was permission denied when doing a mkdir /usr/spool/ so I created the directory manually, then permission denied when doing mkdir /usr/spool/uucp and now its permission denied creating some file in /usr/spool/uucp , which I can't do manually !
It seems as if the script or cu program doesn't have the root permissions when running, even though I run it as root. If any linux guru out there knows a reason for this please let me know !!!
If anyone wants the cu I compiled let me know and I can email it or upload or whatever.
Cheers
EDIT:
I got past the permissions problem with a simple command,
"chmod -R 777 /usr/spool/"
Now the the cu program runs until I get a connection refused message from rfcomm. I'd like to think that I have the blueserial script working correctly and that the only reason I'm getting connection refused is that the phone I'm connecting to (Nokia N70) isn't one that has the bluetooth flaw that allows the hack to work.
The phones it does work on are:
Nokia 6310i(4.06,4.07,4.80,5.10,5.22,5.50,5.51); Motorola V600, V80; Sony Ericsson T610(20R1A081)
I don't have any of those phones so I guess I'll never be able to test it properly. Ah well ! Looks like I'm over a year late with these developements, acvtivity in this forum has really reduced.
