Ubuntu – Ralink RT 3290 Bluetooth Problem on Ubuntu 14.04

14.04bluetoothralink

I recently installed Ubuntu 14.04 and everything is working good except the Bluetooth.

I have Ralink 3290 Bluetooth. tried to install the driver using the method described here. The code is not compiling and giving 2 errors. Even the change in os/linux/pci_main_dev.c is not working.

Update:
Now I followed this link and after modifying some file a little bit, I was successful in compiling and installing this driver. I am certain that Ubuntu finally found a Bluetooth Adapter, and now I am getting bluetooth in:

rfkill list all
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
     Soft blocked: yes
     Hard blocked: no
1: hci0: Bluetooth
    Soft blocked: yes
    Hard blocked: no

But now the Bluetooth is disabled error is showing and the output of

dmesg | grep Blue
[   17.378741] Bluetooth: Core ver 2.17
[   17.378778] Bluetooth: HCI device and connection manager initialized

I got the bluetooth to work!

  1. First download the Source code from here and extract it to Home.

  2. After that, open the rtbth_core_bluez.c file, and then go to line 86 and change it from:

    int rtbt_hci_dev_send(struct sk_buff *skb)
{
    struct hci_dev *hdev = (struct hci_dev *)skb->dev;

    to:

    int rtbt_hci_dev_send(struct hci_dev *hdev, struct sk_buff *skb)
{
    //struct hci_dev *hdev = (struct hci_dev *)skb->dev;

  3. Go to line 216 and change it from:

        status = hci_recv_frame(skb);

    to:

        status = hci_recv_frame(hdev,skb);

  4. Then go to line 406 and change it from:

    hdev->ioctl = rtbt_hci_dev_ioctl;

    to:

    //hdev->ioctl = rtbt_hci_dev_ioctl;

  5. Save, then open rtbth_hlpr_linux.c and go to line 575. Change it from:

    //daemonize((PSTRING)&pOSTask->taskName[0]);

    to

    (PSTRING)&pOSTask->taskName[0];

  6. Now you are ready to Compile. Compile it in Terminal by:

    cd rtbth-3.9.3
make
sudo make install
  7. Reboot. Additionally, you can follow the PDF file contained inside this ZIP in case bluetooth still does not work.
