| [Ch4m3l30n] | How can I tell which version/release of BlueZ is in the kernel I'm running? | 06:23 |
|---|---|---|
| [Ch4m3l30n] | I'm trying to pair my OUYA controller to my desktop PC so my wife and I can play Trine 2 together and it seems like the controller requires the "Auto-pairing (PIN lookup) support" introduced in BlueZ 5.5 released on May 14th 2013. Two subsequent releases within the last 7 days have further improved that controller support and fixed bugs. | 06:25 |
| mjg59 | [Ch4m3l30n]: bluez is in userspace, not in the kernel | 06:27 |
| [Ch4m3l30n] | kernel modules = userspace? | 06:28 |
| mjg59 | I'm not seeing any kernel modules in the bluez tarball | 06:30 |
| [Ch4m3l30n] | I wouldn't expect that you should... wouldn't they come from kernel.org? | 06:32 |
| [Ch4m3l30n] | http://www.bluez.org/about/ says "Currently BlueZ consists of many separate modules: | 06:32 |
| [Ch4m3l30n] | Bluetooth kernel subsystem core | 06:32 |
| [Ch4m3l30n] | L2CAP and SCO audio kernel layers"... | 06:32 |
| ohsix | bluez us entirely userspace, the radios have a socket interface | 06:33 |
| [Ch4m3l30n] | Let me ask my question a different way... the website http://www.bluez.org/ lists the latest releases as 5.x and the Ubuntu 13.04 package manager lists the latest available package for bluez as 4.101-0ubuntu8b1. Is that an indication that the bluez distributed in Ubuntu is incredibly old or what? | 06:35 |
| mjg59 | It is | 06:35 |
| [Ch4m3l30n] | OK, I see that 4.101 was released about 1 year ago and the new 5.x versions are only 7 months old... | 06:37 |
| [Ch4m3l30n] | I will compile from the latest release source code. Thank you for your time and helping me understand the architecture to rectify my confusion. Cheers! | 06:39 |
| ohsix | theres a reason they're still using 4 | 06:40 |
| ohsix | heh | 06:40 |
| ohsix | you will break your system, not in a way that can't be fixed, but in a way not many people are willing to walk you through | 06:42 |
| [Ch4m3l30n] | ugh | 06:42 |
| [Ch4m3l30n] | It's so frustratingly paradoxical that Linux is so far ahead of the competition in many ways, yet also so far behind. | 06:43 |
| ohsix | big number changes imply a lot of change, takes time; most of the bluetooth work is use driven, and people are trying to get audio and stuff for phones/in vehicle entertainment work a bit better in the transition | 06:45 |
| [Ch4m3l30n] | Yes; I agree. | 06:48 |
