Gnome Hardware Browser does not see my USB bluetooth dongle
Last modified: 2014-03-16 22:47:30 EDT
Description of problem: This is probably the wrong category/component, but there is no component 'Gnome-Hardware-Browser' component listed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): No 'about box', no version info available in Hardware Browser window. How reproducible: A few months ago, it worked. But then that was in the period when, if you unplugged the dongle, your system would hang. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Gnome->System Tools->Hardware Browser 2. type in root password 3. Click on USB in the left column of devices 4. Observe (in a tiny, tiny) window, USB controller and 1,2,3 sockets are listed. 5. None show any connected devices (such as BT dongle) Actual results: See 5. above Expected results: Should see a sub listing with DBT-120 dongle identified. (This was the way it worked months ago) Additional info: [user1@hoho2 ~]$ cat /proc/version Linux version 2.6.8-1.524smp (bhcompile@tweety.build.redhat.com) (gcc version 3.4.1 20040815 (Red Hat 3.4.1-8)) #1 SMP Wed Aug 18 12:12:51 EDT 2004 [user1@hoho2 ~]$ Other components up2date as of a few minutes ago. yum -y --exclude=\*debuginfo\* --exclude=iii\* install \*
The underlying lib behind hwbrowser has zero bluetooth code.
Not asking for bluetooth code. Just asking for what was there before - a sublisting identifying the hardware attached to the USB port.
Does it show up in /proc/bus/usb/devices?
There is a lot of stuff here - check Bus=03 Lev=01 [root@hoho2 src]# cat /proc/bus/usb/devices T: Bus=04 Lev=00 Prnt=00 Port=00 Cnt=00 Dev#= 1 Spd=12 MxCh= 2 B: Alloc= 0/900 us ( 0%), #Int= 0, #Iso= 0 D: Ver= 1.10 Cls=09(hub ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 1 P: Vendor=0000 ProdID=0000 Rev= 2.06 S: Manufacturer=Linux 2.6.8-1.524smp uhci_hcd S: Product=UHCI Host Controller S: SerialNumber=0000:00:1d.2 C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=c0 MxPwr= 0mA I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=09(hub ) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=hub E: Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.)
