^ So no Bluetooth device is supported in Debian stretch then, that's a shame.

Is this a very new laptop?

Stock Debian doesn't include {usr,}/sbin in a normal user's PATH.

Bunsenlabs looks after this in .profle or you can edit bash_profile

My bash_profile looks like this....

export PATH=/opt/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/contrib/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin/X11
# add optional items to the path
for bindir in $HOME/local/bin $HOME/bin; do
    if [ -d $bindir ]; then
        PATH=$PATH:${bindir}

Would you do it that way Hoas?

^ I actually do not approve of adding /sbin to a normal user's PATH, as it happens.

EDIT: or ~/bin for that matter, although I do use the latter myself sometimes.

The laptop have four years.

Are you sure the Bluetooth is still working?

Perhaps it has broken.

You could test with some other distributions, PCLinuxOS is very good in respect of hardware support.

shall i try another Live OS, then? is that what you mean?

What is the exact spec of the laptop mx?

Ive always liked this little program called inxi. It just gives very complete information on hardware specs and other various helpfull info.

sudo apt-get install inxi

then

inxi --recommends

then

inxi -M

inxi is in the misc section of the Debian repositories because the licence is unclean so it is not part of the official Debian release.

Here it a .deb for it:

https://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main … -1_all.deb

Once it is downloaded, open the file manager and right-click on it to use gdebi to install the .deb file.

Steve · 2017-12-02 15:29:43

^ that package should install from a debian OS - 7 and upward ? Are you connected to the internet?

i got it now..sorry, i was trying with the live before, trying with bunsenlabs now;

inxi will now begin checking for the programs it needs to operate. First a check
of the main languages and tools inxi uses. Python is only for debugging data
collection.

Bash version: 4.3.30(1)-release
Gawk version: 4.1.1,
Sed version: 
Sudo version: 1.8.10p3
Python version: 2.7.9
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Test One: Required System Directories (Linux Only).
If one of these system directories is missing, inxi cannot operate:

/proc.................................................... Present
/sys..................................................... Present

All the  directories are present.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Test Two: Required Core Applications.
If one of these applications is missing, inxi cannot operate:

wc (info: word character count).......................... /usr/bin/wc

All the  applications are present.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Test Three: Script Recommends for Graphics Features.
NOTE: If you do not use X these do not matter (like a headless server).
Otherwise, if one of these applications is missing, inxi will have incomplete
output: 

glxinfo (info: -G glx info).............................. /usr/bin/glxinfo
xdpyinfo (info: -G multi screen resolution).............. /usr/bin/xdpyinfo
xprop (info: -S desktop data)............................ /usr/bin/xprop
xrandr (info: -G single screen resolution)............... /usr/bin/xrandr

All the  applications are present.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Test Four: Script Recommends for Remaining Features.
If one of these applications is missing, inxi will have incomplete output:

dmidecode (info: -M if no sys machine data; -m memory)... /usr/sbin/dmidecode
file (info: -o unmounted file system).................... /usr/bin/file
hddtemp (info: -Dx show hdd temp)........................ /usr/sbin/hddtemp
ifconfig (info: -i ip lan-deprecated).................... /sbin/ifconfig

modinfo (info: -Ax,-Nx module version)................... /sbin/modinfo
runlevel (info: -I runlevel)............................. /sbin/runlevel
sudo (info: -Dx hddtemp-user;-o file-user)............... /usr/bin/sudo

All the  applications are present.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Test Five: System Directories for Various Information.
If one of these directories is missing, inxi will have incomplete output:

/sys/class/dmi/id (info: -M system, motherboard, bios)... Present
/dev (info: -l,-u,-o,-p,-P,-D disk partition data)....... Present
/dev/disk/by-label (info: -l,-o,-p,-P partition labels).. Missing
/dev/disk/by-uuid (info: -u,-o,-p,-P partition uuid)..... Present
/var/run/dmesg.boot (info: -C,-f (BSD only))............. Missing

The following directories are missing from your system:
Directory: /dev/disk/by-label
Directory: /var/run/dmesg.boot

This spec sheet for your laptop does not mention any bluetooth capability, from researching this laptop it seems like a common problem in that the buyer was unaware that it was lacking bluetooth.

thanks a lot for the research.
I'll get a bluetooth stick then, and try with it.
