I need to set up ssh connection to a device over bluetooth on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. There are many tutorials describing how to achieve this, but they refer to a "Local Services" menu item under the "View" menu of Bluetooth Manager (blueman).

I ave installed Blueman Device Manager version 1.23

I have no such item in the View menu, there are only items "Show Toolbar", "Show Statusbar", "Latest Device First", "Latest Device Last".

From the screenshots in the tutorials (like this) I see there are supposed to be two more items: "Plugins" and "Local Services". Without the "Local Services" setup, I can not make the connection to the device stable. It connects but then drops the connection after short time.

Right click on the blueman icon in the notification area and select "Local Services" Picture from http://askubuntu.com/a/258370/300665

You may also bring the dialog up with blueman-services in terminal

  • For some reason, the blueman icon is not there in the notification area. I was able to open the dialog by running the blueman-services and successfully complete the ssh connection. – Passiday Feb 18 '17 at 22:40
