Title: [SOLVED] bluetooth keyboard on debian anyone?
Post by: bearclaw on January 13, 2014, 10:28:09 PM
Hi.

Has anyone managed to get a bluetooth keyboard working through a usb-bluetooth dongle?

When I try on the debian image, bluetoothd(v4.99) crashes with

*** glibc detected *** bluetoothd: free(): invalid next size (fast): 0xb8e00d60 **

at the last step (bluez-test-input connect MAC)

I don't think you are the only one having problems. I didn't have much luck with bluetooth keyboards, so I changed to 5GHz RF Rapoo E9180P. The bluetooth keyboards work on A13, though.

Fixed it.

Downloaded bluez-4.101 from the website.

configure make make install (after installing needed dependencies like libusb)

Then edit /etc/init.d/bluetooth and replace /usr/sbin/bluetoothd by /usr/local/sbin/bluetoothd et voila.
