Bluedevil is the default application to manage Bluetooth devices for Lubuntu.
|
|
||||||
|

Shortcomings
|
|
||||||
------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
While Bluedevil can handle most basic operations, some tasks need to be completed via the command line. Here are some common tasks:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

|
|
||||||

|
||||||
