What ?

This small device, like your mobile phone have the capability to store some document and transfer it to other device, mostly it will also supporting the OBEX protocol. If you want it easier then, just mount it and browse them. This trick is mean to do just like that. Yes !!! just like that !!!

How ?

Install the appropriate software:

root@d1x:~# apt-get install obexfs bluetooth

Scan the device:

root@d1x:~# hcitool scan
Scanning ...

What is this ?

It is only a note when you're getting older and older, your hair just more soft and white, your mind slowly go blank. There, you might need some note to do some simple stuff because you don't have memory left to remember old puff things. "RSYNC".

Obviously, you need a "DEBIAN" box like what i have.

Server

root@nermus:~# apt-get install rsync
root@nermus:~# cp /usr/share/doc/rsync/examples/rsyncd.conf /etc/
root@nermus:~# vi /etc/rsyncd.conf
...
# GLOBAL OPTIONS
pid file=/var/run/rsyncd.pid

When you've done installing VirtualBox, and you will see that finally the USB device is listed, but now you can not access it, so how to doit ?

Don't forget to add the user to vboxusers group.

Debian manage to have the device permission and grouping a litle bit different, so here what you'd like to go.

Edit /etc/fstab and add:

...
none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=<XXX>,devmode=664 0 0
...

Change <XXX> to be a group you are a member of, vboxusers is a natural choice (cat /etc/group | grep vboxusers) use the number there).

Whe you deal with the OSE version of VirtualBox, you will see that lot of things are not working, and it is really messing your head off. So you might want to move to VirtualBox non-OSE.

How to do it ? Just remove your all VirtualBox OSE component and go to http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/ to see the repository where you'd like to go. Put them in the /etc/apt-/sources.list then install it.

Done !
