BlueZ

BlueZ is an implementation of the Bluetooth standard. This entry features the BlueZ package and all software that is based on it.

Setup

On most linux distributions BlueZ can be installed with the bluez package. Additionally the bluez-utils package needs to be installed. To load the kernel module modprobe btusb needs to be run. Afterwards the service can be started and enabled by running the following commands.

systemctl start bluetooth.service
systemctl enable bluetooth.service

Usage

The Bluetooth features can be managed by different types of front-ends.
