Dear Derick thanks for your help I attempted to follow the
instructions in the Fixstars packet you referred to.
Logging in as superuser I then followed the instructions.
The command install bluez-libs bluez-utils worked with some packages
being installed, and then the replied "nothing to do", so I assume the
bluez-utils were already installed.
However the next command failed.. namely service hidd
stop [enter]
I got the reply:
"bash command not found "
Similarly when I entered
service [enter]
I got the reply
"bash command not
found."
typing :
hidd --server --nocheck -n [enter]
gave me the response :
Cant listen on HIDD
control channel Address already in use.
I did not get to the hidd[8284] prompt
so I typed CTRL C which didn't work and I exited with Exit.
Checking in Linux manuals I could not find the command "service".
Though there are clearly services such as Bluez. Next after finding The
Bluez reference on Wikipedia , I found a completely different set of
commands for getting Bluetooth devices paired.
http://wiki.bluez.org/wiki/HOWTO/InputDevices
However it is above my level of expertise to use them
Can anyone clarify for me why the commands did not work, and what should
be done?
Thanks
Graham
