Hi Rick. First of all, you should make sure that the device is recognized as a BT device. Run hciconfig as sudo user to see if it returns something as hci0. If you can see it, then you can do hciconfig hci0 up to set up the interface and start playing. If not, then you could try to do lsusb and see what devices are connected to the USB. If you cannot see your device there, or something goes wrong, you can always try to check what is going on by plugging the device off and on again and then type dmesg | tail. Finally, make sure the bluetooth daemon is running. You can do that by executing /etc/init.d/bluetoothd status (I'm not sure about this last one) NOTE: I suggest to execute all the commands with sudo. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-bluetooth" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
