This one is dead...
For all those OF's who recall the popular TV "quiz" show...
<b>I am looking for a way to identify - in Linux / <b>Ubuntu open source</b>
SPECIFICALLY
1) what database is used to keep track of result of
"scanning for remote Bluetooth device "
2) what database , if any, keeps track of recently used and valid ID # / authorization #</b>
I am NOT seeking the actual link / reference , I am asking for
current / actually copy of "bluez" library as adopted by Linux.
I am NOT asking for various implementation of " bluez" - such as "hci" etc.
I am NOT asking where to find "bluez" source code - there are plenty of copies of SAME, undocumented and UNSUPPORTED
of "bluez" library on many github files...
I know about flaky Python Bluetooth app -- no reference needed.
Just point me to REAL / USED / CURRENT (Aug 2024) "copy" of "bluez" - that is all I am asking.
as in Ubuntu packages for example..
( If I knew how to do that , I would not ask ---duh...) -
Thank you

You have forgotten the StartPage man........
As an answer to OPs question, this should help. First result especially.

Yes, but you need to tell the person who wants the answer.

To start with that means nothing.
It is like asking someone to provide instructions on how to replace the alternator for a 'truck'.
The name 'linux' is generic. There are many vendor builds (using 'vendor' very loosely.)
Of those each has a build. Where the build stipulates the code that is included in the binary that represents the version of linux that is actually installed.
Except of course the installer might install different parts also.
And on top of that then other installer might change stuff as well.
Somewhere there is a linux command that can tell you what version is installed on whatever you are looking at.
After you identify that then you can start looking for the code that corresponds to that.
It will probably be one of those github repos.

And presumably you think you are going to find one that is much 'better' than those. Good luck with that.

Thanks, appreciate the reply. I think I did not express what I am after - he usual " my fault".
( But I do appreciate you did no dwell on that...)
I will try to correct that.
The "bluez" library "advertisement " states it has been adopted by Linux.
It is part of Linux kernel.
That is the basic.
My question / search is HOW to access / find the actual source code of
"bluez" library / package in Ubuntu .
Something like
open file directory xyz
open file which contains the "bluez" package
I know where / how to get "bluez" source coder in github,
I am after its residence in Ubuntu.

I like to discuss this with somebody.
I am using "systemctl" to control / verify that bluetooth service is actually running.
Works so, so.
The "problem" is AFTER I reboot the Ubuntu "bluetooth setting" - located on very right
top of the desktop - ALWAYS shows "Bluetooth off".
I cannot restart bluetooth using this "setting" - it does not react at all to "Bluetooth on".
I am puzzled why I need to use "systemctl start bluetooth" get the service running.
My code DOES not stops the service - only verifies it is running.
Thanks

Check to see if bluetooth is enabled systemctl is-enabled bluetooth.service. If it is enabled, you'll need to dig into the logs to figure out why its not coming up. If it is disabled, then as root: systemctl enable --now bluetooth.service which will tell systemd that it should start the bluetooth service on boot. The --now flag is optional and will start the given service immediately. Without it, you will either have to start the service manually (systemctl start bluetooth.service) or reboot the system. It's probably a good idea to reboot the system as soon as you may after enabling the service, just to check it is coming up OK, or debug why it isn't.

Thank you, you have nailed it...I assume some of my "safety code" accidentally disabled the service.
Or maybe I should blame it on bad weather, or somebody else , as is customary.
What was a real challenge - navigate thru all " why are you doing that?... post detail error
...post your (formatted ) code...you have asked this before...I do not know the answwr, but L like...
I am really hesitant to ask questions on this forum, I always get flamed....
Anyway, thanks for you help, much appreciated.

I don't know anything about DAOS so I can't comment on that. Have you had this working in the past and it stopped working, or are you trying to get it running now? Either way, CentOS 7 was initially released in 2014, and goes EOL at the end of the month. What you might be seeing is that C7 doesn't support the infrastructure needed for DAOS.
This would probably be better answered in a forum dedicated to DAOS.
In any case, given the short support lifetime of C7, I'd recommend you consider moving to something more recent, like CentOS 9 or one of the other RHEL 9 based distros. I hear good things about Rocky Linux. Or move to Ubuntu or Debian.

Make no differece - two -- or one - and
what does
"default" do ?
should then
rfcomm == rfcomm -a

Which devices have you configured?
If you haven't configured any, what would you expect when asking for a list of configured devices?

I am not blaming on anybody, but on MYSELF
there is no English command in rfcomm man
to "configure"
however there is "bind" which to me means something likes " to associate (with) "
so one has to guess to at least select "device" and optionally more...
actually to go back to Unix - "no response / no reply is SUCCESS"
so when
"rfcomm" - used as default, no options specified, and returns NOTHING is really telling NOTHING
Lesson learn - case closed

|

Are you sure that you know enough about Bluetooth to handle it?
I mean, treating "bind" as some new, unknown concept suggests that you do not know the first thing about Bluetooth. You will not be able to configure a device that you you don't have the slightest clue about.
First thing in configuring a Bluetooth device is to learn what Bluetooth is, and its architecture.
Religious freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make five.

|

|

Well according to rfcomm you do not have any devices configured.
|
|
|
|

Yeah they over-abbreviated the command. Should have spelled it rtfmcomm.

This is somewhat a dupe, so if it bothers you...( I am not allowed to give instructions ...)
I am asking for generic / general help in capturing Linux command output.
I am going to use this as an example:
system("hcitool dev | cut -sf3 ");
I know what is does - that is NOT of my concern..
I can see the result in (Qt) console...
I do not know HOW - what "hidden" code (std??) put
the actual result of the call onto console
and
how can I redirect such call for my purpose ?
I did RTFM for "system" and found NO references , or missed them,
on how to capture THE actual output of the command.
that said - what would be SUCCESSFUL phrase to ask Mrs Google to
give me a general Linux resource ( text book ?) to cover
"standard output / input / error "
and
how to figure out if the command uses
"standard output / input / error "
and how to access it in C/C++
..all this just for learning purpose
CHEERS

I have reached another dead end in my Bluetooth programming...
without getting into details - task works fine when performed in Linux terminal
, but fails to connect when run in C++ code.
After RTFM I found
"the error source" in "bluez " library, burred in few layers of undocumented code ...
So I am going back to "level" where I can control the
usage of "bluez" library...
That means to go back to
https://people.csail.mit.edu/albert/bluez-intro/c404.html[^]
My question
to the forum -
is there a C++ version of the above?
( I asked Mrs Google...)
Yes, the foundation would still be "bluez" library...but if I can
manage to convert the above to C++ it my be "some " progress.
Thanks very much for any constructive help.

|
|
|
|

Yes, exactly what I was looking for. Thanks.
Actually it has "d-bus" code I need to try to "up code" ,
try a differ approach to Bluetooth coding.
