hope the bluetooth is working in your computerDo you see a bluetooth
icon in the notification corner of your desktop?if so can you send
files to your phone by right clicking it?
i am using my nokia 2600c to connect via aircel gprs using bluetooth.
for doing this i needed to edit two files:
/etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf
and
/etc/wvdial.conf
for both you need super user permissions,
So press Alt+F2 and enter 'gksu gedit' to open gedit as super user.
IN the below file to find the Bluetooth address of the device for your
mobile phone,Right click the bluetooth icon and choose to browse
files now you will find a similar number in location bar of your file
browser.
open /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf from gedit and edit it to look like
follows:
#
# RFCOMM configuration file.
#
rfcomm0 {
# Automatically bind the device at startup
bind yes;
#Bluetooth address of the device
device 00:24:7D:61:6C:91;
#RFCOMM channel for the connection
channel 1;
#Description of the connection
comment Srihari's nokia 2600;
}
Now for aircel gprs connection the wvdial.conf file can be edited as:
for other networks please replace aircelgprs with the access point of
your mobile network provider.
open /etc/wvdial.conf in gedit
and edit to look like:
[Dialer Defaults]
Init1 = AT+CGDCONT=1,IP,aircelgprs
Init2 = ATQ
Phone = *99***1#
Username =
Password =
New PPPD = yes
Modem = /dev/rfcomm0
Baud = 460800
Once this is set up you can restart the bluetoth daemon by typing in
the terminal:
sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart
to get connected open terminal and type:
sudo wvdial
Please tell me if it worked or what went wrong,
Regards,
Srihari K

It should be a hardware problem, where the settings that you change are not getting saved in it. Same was the issue with my modem, which i took it to the exchange and got it replaced.

[fsug-tvm] Re: hardy to jaunty upgrade
Mate, the easiest way to do a safe upgrade would be changing software update mirrors under Sytem-Administration-Software Sources, just change the mirrors and hit update. It will give you an option in update manager saying a latest version is available. This way you will not loose any customization or data.
