Ubuntu Bluetooth Overview

I believe many people are using Ubuntu's bluetooth support. Plug it in and use it. It is very convenient to upload a file on a mobile phone. But have you ever thought about squeezing out its potential? Have you ever thought about sitting in front of a computer, turning on Bluetooth to connect to your mobile phone, wearing a headset, and directly picking up your phone through a computer? Or even when your iPodtouch is connected, the music will pop out of the computer's speakers? Of course, in Windows, commercial drivers and supporting software such as IVT can be implemented, but in Linux? Of course, this is also possible, and

I believe many people are using Ubuntu's bluetooth support. Plug it in and use it. It is very convenient to upload a file on a mobile phone. But have you ever thought about squeezing out its potential? Have you ever thought about sitting in front of a computer, turning on Bluetooth to connect to your mobile phone, wearing a headset, and directly picking up your phone through a computer? Or if you connect your iPod touch, the music will pop out of the computer's speakers? Of course, in Windows, commercial drivers and supporting software such as IVT can be implemented, but in Linux? Yes, of course. They are all free!

Let me come with you to squeeze out the potential of Ubuntu! I use Ubuntu 9.10. I have never tested any other version. You can try it on your own. In addition, it should be noted that the gnome-bluetooth tool provided by Ubuntu is not very useful, and it will be very inconvenient to use gnome-bluetooth When configuring bluetooth stereo support later, we recommend that you install and use the Blueman management tool. Of course, do not install Blueman directly in the new IDE. If you install Blueman directly, it will not replace gnome-bluetooth. As a result, the conflict between the two will be very tragic... We recommend that you add the PPA source of Blueman.

Then install Blueman and it will automatically replace gnome-bluetooth. We recommend that you update all software packages related to Bluetooth. After testing, the updated compatibility and performance will be better. Of course, if you don't want to use Blueman, it's all right, it's a bit of a hassle. I will describe it in detail later.

In addition, if you are using an external USB Bluetooth adapter, you may be unable to manage it when you plug it into your computer and start it on your computer. The solution is to unplug it and then plug it in or run it on your terminal.

First, let's look at how to build Ubuntu into a Bluetooth hands-free device. Here we will invite the main character-HFP for Linux.

HFP for Linux is a tool that provides Bluetooth HFP (hands-free support) in Linux. Let's take a look at the pictures on the home page and you will understand what is going on.
