Quick summary:
A couple weeks ago, I asked for help on how to install
Linux on a 50 GB OCZ SATA solid state drive that I installed in my
self-built desktop PC. I eventually tried Fedora 13, Ubuntu 10.04, and
CentOS 5.5. All three would fail to install.
I then took out the 50 GB OCZ SATA solid state drive and put in a
64 GB Kingston SATA solid state drive. I was able to install Fedora 13
on the Kingston, but the installer put grub on the wrong drive and I
wasn't able to manually fix it.
The present situation:
I basically fixed the Fedora 13 install on the Kingston SATA SSD
by reinstalling Fedora 13 with different options. The desktop PC
is now successfully dual-booting between Windows 7 on a regular
SATA hard drive and Fedora 13 on the Kingston SATA SSD.
For the OCZ SATA SSD, I connected it to my laptop using an external
USB to SATA cable. To my surprise, I was able to successfully install
Ubuntu 10.04 on it. I have everything working now, except for Bluetooth.
I usually use a Bluetooth mouse instead of the trackpad. However, this
doesn't work in Ubuntu 10.04. System > Preferences > Bluetooth says
there are no bluetooth adapters installed. The laptop has built-in
bluetooth and I can use the Bluetooth mouse with Windows 7 just fine.
A Google search indicates there are problems with Bluetooth and
Ubuntu 10.04. However, none of the reported problems involve
Bluetooth Preferences saying that there are no bluetooth adapters
installed. I tried a couple of suggestions from the Google search
results anyway, but they didn't fix the problem.
Am I out of luck, or is there a way to get Bluetooth working so
I can use my Bluetooth mouse with my laptop?
