Ubuntu
Add Repository
For installing Blueman on a Ubuntu Linux add the personal-package-archive (ppa) from launchpad.net to your repositories. There are two ways to do that:
1. Open a terminal und run following command:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:blueman/ppa
2. Open the "Software-Sources"-dialog and switch to the "Other Software"-Tab. Now click "Add..." and paste the following code in the opening dialog:
ppa:blueman/ppa
Now click "Add Repository".
In both ways the repository and the gpg-key will be automatically added to your system.
Installation
If you still have opened the terminal you can run following command for installing the Bluetooth Manager:
sudo apt-get install blueman
Alternative: Second option is opening Synaptic (or another Package-Manager) and installing the package blueman.
After that you can start the Bluetooth-Manager from the application-menu or by running
blueman-manager
in a terminal.
