blueman-manager is not loading. blueproximity is loaded. Are the two clashing? Any advice please.

Over the next few days the Buetooth device has to be activated. Currently doesn't work.

Uninstalled blueproximity. Then reinstalled bluemon-manager and then bluez. Currently, experimenting on Knoppix. Same flavour as Debian. Shows Possible Errors. Fault Point: sbl? Synaptic Output:

No, there isn't any problem in Debian, Installed first the gnome-network-manager and the network-manager packages first for ease and familiarity. Then re-ran the steps, re-installing the firmware iwlwifi. Reinstalled blueman but not blueproximity. Now the Bluetooth works and finds other bluetooth enabled devices. There is no issue. So Post marked as Solved.
user is in the group bluetooth.

Code: Select all

bluetooth:x:ddd:user
where each d for ddd is for a digit.[/color][/size] and

Code: Select all

rfkill list all
is posted above separately, marked as for Debian.

Shall proceed to do the same in Knoppix too.

Thanks to those who visited my query at debian-user List for support, especially, deloptes, who showed seriousness this time.

In the end, the Knoppix issue is also solved by the same code given above with a minor alteration, i.e.,:

Code: Select all

bluetooth:x:ddd:knoppix
as knoppix wasn't in the group bluetooth.
Freedom is impossible to conceive.
