Connect to a Bluetooth mouse EeePC Linux

Categories: Electric car system

Insert a USB Bluetooth adapter to give your EeePC with Bluetooth functionality

Then open a terminal (Ctrl) (alt) (t) and type:.

  • sudo nano / usr / sbin /

    Just above the last “# “in this file, add the following:
    />

  • sudo / etc / init.d / dbus
  • sudo / etc / init.d Start bluetooth /
  • hciconfig hci0 restore

    • Now, open a terminal (Ctrl) (alt) type (t), then.

  • hcitool scan

    • This should find the Bluetooth mouse and display its Bluetooth address (0:12:05 A: 68: DA: 71 in this case).

    type

  • sudo nano / etc / bluetooth / hcid.conf

    • Go to End file and add the following line:

    0:12:05 device A: 68: CD: 71
    {name "Bluetooth Mouse"
    <
    } / code>
    0:12:05 A: 68: DA: 71 is the address of your Bluetooth (Ctrl) (x), followed by (y), then (came) to replace the old file with the new changes.

    type:

  • sudo / etc / init.d / bluetooth restart

    • sudo

  • research / img ul style> <= "margin: 0px auto 10px; display:; block text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 240px;" src = "http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_P1i6yJdGZlE/S0CINd7qLlI/AAAAAAAAAXk/dcLJJHNTEx4/s400/linux-hidd-connect.jpg"alt =" "id =" BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5422483716308610642 "border =" 0 "/> This will connect to the Bluetooth mouse and it should work now. However, to connect automatically on startup, you should always do the following type:

  • sudo nano / etc / default / bluetooth

    • Edit the lines below to the following values

    HIDD_ENABLED = 1
    = HIDD_OPTIONS -master - connect 0:12:05 A: 68: DA: <71-server / strong>

    When 0:12:05 A: 68: CD: 71 is the address of your Bluetooth mouse

    (Ctrl) ( x), followed by (y), then (came) to replace the old file with the new changes.

    Now restart the EeePC and when it starts, you must have a Bluetooth mouse to work

    Note: You may have to disconnect the Bluetooth adapter, then connect it to restart, then move the mouse to detect correctly

    My Vodacom will replace Vodacom4me soon?

    Categories: Electric car system

    It’s old news that Vodacom has revamped their website to include a new and improved “My Vodacom” Portal that is intended (advertised) to replace all Vodacom4me functionality.

    The new “My Vodacom” login screen

    The old Vodacom4me portal has been running alongside My Vodacom for a good few months now. I was starting to wonder if Vodacom were actually serious about decommissioning Vodacom4me and it seems that the time of action is drawing near.

    I noticed the following warning message up at Vodacom4me in the past week (or 2 maybe)…

    “Please note that the Vodacom4me website will be switched off soon. If you want to carry on using Vodacom4me for a little longer you can.“

    So Vodacom is giving ample warning to its users about the switch. I haven’t actually used either of the portals for very much more than sending Free Vodacom SMS but I have picked up on rants about the new portal not fully duplicating the old Vodacom4me functionality – I think in terms of reporting (or not reporting) data bundle usage specifically.

    Forced to complain I would say that the new Vodacom website is slow and unreliable and it can be difficult to find what you are looking for. There have been several occasions (in the few times I have logged in) when My Vodacom has thrown messy error messages at me. I can’t say that I never experienced errors on Vodacom4me which is disappointing as one expects improvement with the release of a new site. But we can still hope that Vodacom will address the issues on My Vodacom soon! It is only a matter of time until they start redirecting all Vodacom4me traffic to My Vodacom directly.

    In memory of Vodacom4me

    In related news, we have updated Free082SMS to send SMS through the new My Vodacom website in anticipation of the switch…
