I don't understand what you mean by enter the 'obex://...' command. Where
would I enter it?!?
Like I said in my previous email I'm a newbie and I'm not that familiar with
Nautilus, yet.
Also I don't know what the id numbers of my SAGEM mobile phone is. Is there
an easy way I could find out?!?
An easier way to go is to install 'gnome-bluez' and 'gnome-bluetooth'

That sounds like what I want to do. I did install the gnome-bluez (actually
named "bluez-gnome" and there was also other "bluez? programs I also
installed {see list below}) and gnome-bluetooth. I now have the "bluetooth"
icon on my system tray.
I used the Synaptic Package Manager and searched for "blue". Listed below is
a text listing of the programs names (or modules) which have been installed
currently with the Synaptic Package Manager.
I'm thinking that maybe some of these programs (or modules) could be
conflicting with each other.
Could you please advise me whether or not I should remove (uninstall) some
of these, to try to make my computer using the USB Bluetooth Dongle 'talk'
to the SAGEM mobile phone.
I must admit that I'm 'out of my depth' here... So I'll rely on your advice
;-)))

"blue")

You don't actually use gnome-vfs stuff directly. It is used by gnome applications such as nautilus. In the case of gnome-vfs-obexftp you can go to nautilus and enter obex://[00:00:00:00:00:00]/ Replace 00:00:00:00:00:00 with the id of your device. An easier way to go is to install 'gnome-bluez' and 'gnome-bluetooth' then the next time you login a new icon will appear in the system tray (on your panel bar) that looks like the bluetooth logo. From this you can search for bluetooth devices, authenticate to them and then let it load the right path in nautilus.

Please help me to understand commands for the Gnome-VFS-Obexftp program.
Dear UBUNTU People, This email's subject says it all: Please help me to understand commands for the Gnome-VFS-Obexftp program This is a bit complicated so I'll try to get my facts correct. *SMILE* I will happily supply more technical details as requested. (As long as I myself can work out what you need to know) ( I'm still only a newbie at Linux UBUNTU ... however, I love it. I think that UBUNTU is superior to M$ Windows in so many ways!!! ) I'm trying to install software which will let me use a small device called a "USB Bluetooth Dongle" (which I currently have plugged into one of my computer's USB ports) communicate with my new SAGEM my411x mobile phone. My (limited) understanding is that I should be able to use software on my pc to communicate with my SAGEM mobile phone and exchange phone numbers, pictures, video, and music etc. This sounds like a good thing to do. Some time ago I posted a message about me wanting to do this and someone recommended the "gnome-vfs-obexftp" program. To cut a long story short... I think that I have correctly install the software, however *I don't know how to use it*. This is a website about the "gnome-vfs-obexftp" program: http://blogs.gnome.org/jamesh/2007/01/03/gnome-vfs-obexftp-01-released/ after downloading the files and having problems understanding what to do, I decided to email both of the 2 authors of the program Mikael Hallendal <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Richard Hult <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mikael kindly replied to my email with this message: Mikael said the following in an email to me> I'm sorry but I have to admit that I can't remember the steps needed to get that installed (or where to put the GnomeVFS plugins). If you are on Ubuntu Linux you should be able to simply install it with 'apt-get install gnome-vfs-obexftp' Sorry that I can't be of more help but I have not touched that code in two-three years. http://pewtas.googlepages.com (or) http://tinyurl.com/yuyejs (please visit my free website and let me know what you think about it.) -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
