Bluetooth problem in CentOS 6

Hi ,

I have install centos6.3 64bit, other things are working fine.:b:
I am trying to use bluetooth. It is showing bluetooth icons and options only turn on and turn off bletooth.:confused:

How to enable full features of bluetooth like search, send file etc.:wall:

It seems need a Additional Software

Try installing bluez or gnome-bluetooth if you need a GUI.

Hi these rpm's are already installed.

I am getting the blue tooth disabled. see attached image.

[root@server ~]# rpm -qa | egrep 'gnome-bluetooth*|bluez*'
gnome-bluetooth-libs-2.28.6-8.el6.x86_64
bluez-4.66-1.el6.x86_64
pulseaudio-module-bluetooth-0.9.21-13.el6.x86_64
bluez-libs-4.66-1.el6.x86_64
gnome-bluetooth-2.28.6-8.el6.x86_64

Sometimes it pays to check the obvious, make sure the wireless switch on your laptop isn't off...

This might be obvious as well, but try running:

/etc/init.d/bluetooth start

Also, please post the contents of these files:

/proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth
/etc/modprobe.conf

*Note: The part in red may be different in your system.

[root@server ~]# cat /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth 
status:        enabled
commands:    enable, disable
[root@server ~]# 

[root@server ~]# /etc/init.d/bluetooth start
Enabling Bluetooth devices:
[root@server ~]# 

Wireless switch in on.

Is any one having idea on this ? :confused:
