Unable to connect Bluetooth in Backtrack

**Martyna** · 23-09-2011

I'm running VirtualBox on my MacBook. I'm trying to make use of my Bluetooth on backtrack but it’s not getting familiar so I bought a USB adapter to use instead. Nevertheless even now I try to activate via the menu:
Devices > USB Devices > Bluetooth USB Host Controller
I get following Error

Code:

NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)

I’m using Bluetooth wireless technology (in my MacBook Pro), which works fine with Parallels and Windows 7.

hcitool scan works
hidd - search for foreign acts. If no device is recognized as giving an error, but there is a detectable device that leaves no avail.
No script daemon bluetooth bluetooth package.

I think we're more or less a hose, if we continue to make use of BT5. BT4 R1 was a hell of a lot more polished.

There is no way (yet) without using Bluetooth "downgrade" the whole Bluetooth system?

Try to Google Bluetooth dongle for backtrack. Search and install. I hope it work for you. Let me know if you are not able to get Bluetooth demon. I will share with you.
