Only for HP ProBook 445 G1(Ubuntu 12.04 LTS)
We owe it to linux for making android a reality. For the past few months I had a troublesome time finding the bluetooth driver for my laptop. Finding the driver was easy but installing never worked even though I downloaded the driver from the manufacturer. But luckily, I found one that worked.
So, today I'll be sharing that with all of you in case you own the same. Note that this driver does not work with Ubuntu 14 LTS version. I tried to install it but it just gave me an error. I am back in 12LTS and the driver works great here.
STEPS
1. Download this file first : Ralink bluetooth driver
Another link: Ralink bluetooth
2. Extract all files in a folder. Inside you will get a "SRC" folder. Remember the location of this folder.
Now, in the next step we'll use 'Terminal' to install the driver.
3. Open TERMINAL by pressing ctrl+alt+t at the same time.
4. Write or paste this code without the quotes in the terminal: "cd directoryofsrc"
Here is an example of mine: "cd /hp/home/mark/src"
You just need to direct cd to your driver folder location. The rest is easy.
5. Next write this code in the terminal: " sudo make "
The terminal will execute some codes.
6. After that write this code in the terminal: "sudo make install"
If it reaches step 6 without any error, then, it is safe to say that the driver would work great.
7. Restart your system. Wolla! Bluetooth icon is there now.
