Python Module PyBluez Error
I'm running Ubuntu 13.04 Server on a Mac OS X (Maverick) and python 2.7.5.
I installed PyBluez and Bluez-libs. When I type
import bluetooth
or
from bluetooth import *
it successfully imports but when I try to run a basic script using the
discover_devices()
method, I get this error
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./fin.py", line 4, in <module>
devlist = discover_devices()
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/bluetooth/bluez.py", line 17, in discover_devices
sock = _gethcisock ()
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/bluetooth/bluez.py", line 226, in _gethcisock
raise BluetoothError ("error accessing bluetooth device")
bluetooth.btcommon.BluetoothError: error accessing bluetooth device
and when I type
~$ hcitool dev
no devices are named.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

How do you run Ubuntu "on a Mac OS X (Maverick) and python 2.7.5"?

I have an Ubuntu Server partition installed on Oracle VM VirtualBox and that has python 2.7.5+ on it. I'm using SSH to communicate with it on my Mac which has OS X Maverick.

This happens because (most likely) the server doesn't have bluetooth interfaces (what server uses bluetooth anyways?) or it doesn't get detected. The output of hcitool being blank points that you don't have bluetooth interfaces connected to the system working as server (if it's a VM, unless it's USB adapter it could not work).
