You'll know you are in root or superuser mode when you see #. Next start yum to find the bluetooth software you need. Here's an example done on my own YDL computer: [agu...@arakus ~]$ su Password: [r...@arakus aguila]# yum info "*bluetooth*" Loading "installonlyn" plugin extras 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 updates 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 base 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 Available Packages Name : gnome-bluetooth Arch : ppc Version: 0.7.0 Release: 10.2 Size : 242 k Repo : base Summary: GNOME Bluetooth Subsystem Description: This package contains a Bonobo server to control Bluetooth devices, and a simple GUI to explore which devices are available (gnome-bluetooth-manager). Also, an OBEX server is available, gnome-obex-server. This will receive files sent via Bluetooth to your PC, and save them in your home directory.

In this case, you see the various bluetooth software which is available to be downloaded and installed. If the software was installed in your system already it was say installed in the Repo field. Let's say the gnome bluetooth libraries make the most sense given what you are trying to do. Then do: [r...@arakus aguila]# yum install "gnom*bl*" Loading "installonlyn" plugin Setting up Install Process Parsing package install arguments Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package gnome-bluetooth-libs.ppc 0:0.7.0-10.2 set to be updated ---> Package gnome-bluetooth-devel.ppc 0:0.7.0-10.2 set to be updated ---> Package gnome-bluetooth.ppc 0:0.7.0-10.2 set to be updated --> Processing Dependency: libbtctl-devel for package: gnome-bluetooth-devel --> Processing Dependency: libopenobex.so.1 for package: gnome-bluetooth --> Processing Dependency: libbtctl.so.2 for package: gnome-bluetooth-libs --> Processing Dependency: libbtctl.so.2 for package: gnome-bluetooth --> Restarting Dependency Resolution with new changes. --> Running transaction check ---> Package openobex.ppc 0:1.3-3.1 set to be updated ---> Package libbtctl.ppc 0:0.6.0-9.2 set to be updated ---> Package libbtctl-devel.ppc 0:0.6.0-9.2 set to be updated Dependencies Resolved ============================================================================= Package Arch Version Repository Size ============================================================================= Installing: gnome-bluetooth ppc 0.7.0-10.2 base 242 k gnome-bluetooth-devel ppc 0.7.0-10.2 base 10 k gnome-bluetooth-libs ppc 0.7.0-10.2 base 78 k Installing for dependencies: libbtctl ppc 0.6.0-9.2 base 50 k libbtctl-devel ppc 0.6.0-9.2 base 48 k openobex ppc 1.3-3.1 base 22 k Transaction Summary ============================================================================= Install 6 Package(s) Update 0 Package(s) Remove 0 Package(s) Total download size: 449 k Is this ok [y/N]: Answer either yes or no and yum will find, list and install all associated programs for you. Your keyboard should work afterwards. However, as I don't have a PS3 you may feel more comfortable participating on the YDL Board. Here's a link to one page which may be helpful: http://yellowdog-board.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=6836&p=34503&hilit=ps3+bluetooth+keyboard#p34503 > How should we proceed (in the PS3) to get > the WLAN connection to run with WEP security? > Let's assume that you know how to setup your router so that it transmits either WPA, WEP or something else. The recommendations I've read regarding wireless security advise that WPA2 or WPA2-PSK be implemented as they are harder to crack. Also remember to setup your router's firewall. Regarding getting the settings running from within YDL on a PS3 another link to the YDL Board may be helpful: http://yellowdog-board.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=6931&p=35040&hilit=WLAN+PS3#p35040 May you have a wonderful celebration during the holidays and New Year! _______________________________________________ yellowdog-general mailing list - yellowdog-general@lists.fixstars.com Unsuscribe info: http://lists.fixstars.com/mailman/listinfo/yellowdog-general HINT: to Google archives, try '<keywords> site:us.fixstars.com'
