Changing Network Settings with Blueman Bluetooth Manager (ev3dev Lego Mindstorms)

  • 772

When trying to change the IP Adress in the Blueman Bluetooth Manager I get an error (see screenshot). It's probably something simple like a missing package I can't identify.

Use Case: changing the IP-Address is necessary to connect to a lego Mindstorms EV3 Brick via a desktop computer. The process is described on https://www.ev3dev.org/docs/tutorials/connecting-to-the-internet-via-bluetooth/

System Details: Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS / Blueman Bluetooth Manager V-2.0.5

-- Thank you

  1. Ok, solved it. Making the above change to NAP settings you need the ifconfig utility from net-tools

    To install

    sudo apt-get install net-tools

    Note: if that still doesn't work for you other users reported that they had to install the additional packages: net-tools, dnsmasq (Source on github.com/ev3dev)
