Satellite U400-138: how to activate Bluetooth in Ubuntu device

I have a new Toshiba Satellite U400-138.
This is the version of Centrino with Intel GMA4500HD graphics card and Intel 5100 a/g/n wireless.

If I understand correctly, the Bluetooth adapter is * turned off by default * and a special * command ACPI * is required to activate it. I use the linux 2.6.27rc8 kernel and it has two drivers - * toshiba and toshiba_acpi *. These cannot be inserted into the 'No Such Device' kernel.

The reason is probably that these drivers only work with the Toshiba BIOS. This model has a Phoenix BIOS.

So, how can I activate the Bluetooth market adapter and stop on this model?

Hey Buddy

Unfortunately, Linux is not supported before you wait days here I recommend you to enjoy some Ubuntu forum and ask I think that, in the meantime, we solve problems WLAN but BT. It can be further complicated theme.

Good luck and post your new activity. It may be interesting for other fans of Linux.

    the problem for the subject [Satellite U400 - 138 Volume - software problem wheel | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=148001] I found a stupid bug in the software Toshiba Satellite U400-138 special keys. There is no way to fight them!

    In the Toshiba Satellite U400-138 model I have 6 special buttons: drive, CDDVD, and "Play/Pause", "stop", 'rev back', 'rev forw. Using of the * Toshiba Assist * I have control over TWO of them - there is a list of TWO in the bottom of the * settings button * program - I can choose between the drive and CDDVD.

    They are certainly not useless. Do you really believe that Toshiba will offer unnecessary buttons? ;)

    Have you tested the feature with the factory settings? It works properly with the Toshiba recovery image? I have the same buttons on my Satellite and everything works perfectly. I use Winamp too. No problem at all. So I wonder what you do with your laptop.

  • Satellite U400-138: VPN Service cannot be installed on WiFi.

    Hello

    I have Toshiba Satellite U400-138 with Intel WiFi Link 5100.

    Some companies - such as Cisco and Citrix - use * deterministic Network Enhancer *: a service that allows other services (like VPN) use the computer hardware. And my company uses the Cisco VPN client.

    It is not possible to use the Cisco VPN Client by wireless with my Toshiba Satellite U400-138. The reason is * deterministic Network Enhancer * (DNE). DNE is installed with my card Ethernet Marvell Yukon (no problem), but Intel WiFi Link 5100 does not allow installing DNE. If you open "Network connections", if you look at the 'properties' of each connection after installation of the Cisco VPN client deterministic network (DNE) is only associated with Marvell Yukon. But I can't use VPN on my WiFi.

    I found a solution for Lenovo: [http://www.wfu.edu/~yipcw/lenovo/t400/intel-5100-vpn/ | http://www.wfu.edu/~yipcw/lenovo/t400/intel-5100-vpn/] but unfortunately it back do not work with Toshiba (see images on this Web page!). I think it is * Intel * problem but maybe Toshiba can find a solution?

    I think that this problem DNE may be an issue for other customers of Toshiba as Cisco and Citrix them frequently use in their products. For example, my company have invested to Cisco VPN.

    Kind regards

    Jacek.

    Hello

    If have a U400 and I installed the CiscoAnyconenct.
    It s a VPN connection and it works properly!

    I have an Intel WLan 4965AGN card. But usually it s any WLan card is
    The VPN should work with any connection.

    But using VPN you can get access to some networks in your company, but in my case that other links do not work while the VPN connection is established.

    You are right.

  • Wheel of Satellite U400 - 138 Volume - software problem

    Hello!

    Recently * Toshiba Tempro * suggested I upgrade the bios driver sound (Conexant) and a few other drivers for my Vista. I did and then I noticed that the volume of 'material' control - * volume wheel *-did not work. Still, I have the right volume level control by clicking on the 'volume' icon, but turning the steering wheel left to right and does not affect the volume level. I tried all the options in the Control Panel, but there is simply * no. OPTION for a wheel *.

    I thought it broke. BUT: there was a miracle - if the * registry editor * (regedt32.exe) open the wheel _works_ perectly! But if I close it (or even if I click on another window or minimize regedt32) everything is bad - volume stops at the last level, "recalled" my Vista (I have tested hearing music in the background).

    That's why I think that:
    1. the wheel is working and sending its changes but Vista (or a pilot of its new) does not recognize
    2. when the Registry Editor opens these changes are "up-to-date" - so the wheel seems to work. But when the registry editor is not active there is no mechanism for this "update".

    The value contains some applications that control Toshiba media, keys FN and also the Volume indicator buttons.

    First, you must remove the old system VAP.

  • Satellite U400-138: RAM works with 667 Mhz instead of 800 MHz

    Hello

    I have Satellite U400-138 with 3 GB of RAM (2 + 1 GB sodimm modules)
    I have new kit 2x2gb sodimm-s Corsair PC6400(800MHz)

    When I install new modules, system reported that they are working on 667 Mhz instead of 800 MHz,
    Maybe that's the problem BIOS chipset because that support this frequency.

    Help me, what to do, to run new modules on 800 MHz?

    Hey Buddy

    I doubt that it is a BIOS problem.
    The point is that the speed of the RAM can be lowered and locked by the FSB (front side bus)
    If the FSB supports only 667 Mhz then your RAM 800 Mhz will run only at 667 Mhz

    I want to upgrade my portable computer system memory 3 GB DDR2 (800 MHz) RAM to 4 GB of RAM DDR3 (1066 MHz), which is compatible or not?

    Respect,
    enteoana

    Hello

    In my opinion, you should follow specification not Intel and Toshiba. S Toshiba of info is based on own tests and facts.
    So, depending on the specifications of Toshiba for the GM45 Chipset it is clearly written:

    Min(on Board) wheel capacity - DDR2 800 MHz 0 MB / 8 GB max
    Type of extension of memory - DDR2 800 MHz 1 GB/2 GB/4 GB
    Type of module - SO-DIMM

    So if Toshiba write about 800 MHz modules, you must use the modules to them and not faster.
    You may be able to use faster too, but they do not work with the maximum speed, but not going down to 800 MHz.

    If you want to use max RAM amount use recommended and tested 2 x 2 Go DDR2-800 (PA3669U-1M2G).
    Indicated as compatible RAM, 4 GB DDR2-800 (PA3670U-1M4G).

    After studying this Bluetooth issue, I learned that Dell don't have not necessarily installed the Bluetooth module on all laptops E6420. I don't see the option on the profile for the online version (hard to believe that they do not have default Bluetooth).

    I got the material via ebay and installed it (not plug-and-play or hardware challenged, but possible if you are willing to disassemble your laptop). Subsequently, the Bluetooth then worked as it should. Yet once, why not Dell make this standard Bluetooth rather than trying to save a couple of cents and cause a headache for users?

    If your computer did not come with Bluetooth radio at all (common for budget computers), there is no way that you can download the software to activate Bluetooth as the signal must be sent by the radio. check the list of items on your receipt.

    You can get a USB Bluetooth stick to connect a Bluetooth car radio to your computer. You can or may not need to install additional software, depending on whether or not the manufacturer choose to support generic Microsoft driver.

  • How to activate bluetooth on Satellite Pro C850?

    Hello

    I'm having trouble if/how understanding I can activate Bluetooth on my Satellite C850D-12V (PSCC2E - 03300JEN). The operating system is Windows 8-64 bit.

    The technique of the product (http://www.toshiba.co.uk/discontinued-products/satellite-c850d-12v/) does not BT then, first of all, I would appreciate advice on how to check whether my laptop is equipped with BT

    If my laptop has the necessary equipment, should it be activated via the download of a driver (e.g. Realtek Bluetooth Filter Driver Package, version 12.24.0802.2012)?

    If my laptop is not equipped BT, this can be solved with a BT USB adapter? What would the specification required for a USB BT dongle? Do I still need to download a driver?

    I apologize for the issues. Despite my attempts to research answers to myself, I'm from very limited in this area.

    Any advice greatly appreciated.

    Thank you very much

    Hi Dino

    Your machine according to the specifications of the laptop has no BT module so you have to use the external device. Best solution is BT USB dongle. Visit the nearest PC store and there you can choose one that fits. Talk to your local dealer and I m sure they can help you make the right decision.

    Usually, when you buy external device driver is included for installation should be pretty easy and user-friendly.

    And please do not apologize for your basic questions. ;) If you have any other questions you are welcome.
