Problems having Bluetooth device recognized
 

Im running UBUNTU 7.10 on a ASUS notebook with built-in bluetooth, which recognized my smartphone fine.
However when trying to connect a sitecom BT headphone and another BT earphone the device is seen (as headset 00-09-DD-70-6B-9F) but when I attempt to connect* I get the error:


"OBEX://[00-09-DD-70-6B-9F] is not a valid location. Please check the spelling and try again"

I wonder what I am missing.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I am still trying to get to grips with bluetooth audio myself, but I
understand that this 'error' message is just a product of the OBEX server
which you probably have running at the same time. OBEX deals with file
transfers, so is probably good for your phone, from which you can copy files
to and from, but not so for an audio device. The message is a warning that
you can't transfer files to that aduio device, which is what you'ld expect,
err, once you have come to expect it. I lost a day trying to solve this same
problem until I realised it wasn't THE problem.

I am still having problems with my bluetooth audio though. I am struggling
with a real basic first though; I can't find any log files that deal with the
bluetooth connection, for bluez anyway. I am trying Blueman as a connection
tool and the best 'log' I have so far is the terminal output when I run this
connection manager.

Where else should I look to get more information about what is going wrong
with my bluetooth connection?

My guess is that the gnome-vfs-obexftp package is not installed.
