HowTo: Use a Bluetooth headset with Ubuntu Hardy
Recently I went and bought myself a cheap Bluetooth stereo headset for using with my Nokia N95 to make calls and listen to music and it occurred to me that I could also use it to listen to music from my Ubuntu desktop, so here’s a HowTo on how to hook it up to Ubuntu and redirect your music and media players to it.
HowTo: Pair your bluetooth phone with Ubuntu Gutsy or Ubuntu Hardy for file transfers etc.
To get my blog started, I’m duplicating my HowTo guides that I wrote on Overclockers Australia here, but updating or modifying them in the process with improvements or snapshots that I didn’t have before. We’ll start with my guide on how to pair your Bluetooth phone with Ubuntu Linux.
Connecting your phone via Bluetooth has many advantages including basic file transfer and synchronising your phone contacts and calendar with your PIM.
But how do you do it? If you’ve never had any idea how to do connect something via Bluetooth, then read this guide. It is based on the guide on LinuxQuestions.org, but with some minor changes to make it easier for novices. You can read the original guide here otherwise step inside my office.
