<h2><a name="faq01">When i run configure, it fails with the error: <em>configure: error: cannot find install-sh or install.sh in . ./.. ./../..</em> message</a></h2>
<p>Problem can be solved by executing:</p>
<pre>aclocal
automake -a
autoconf</pre>
<p class="scroll2top"><a href="#content">Scroll to top</a></p>
<h2><a name="faq02">I have compilation errors. What can i do ?</a></h2>
<p>Make sure all needed development packages are installed on your system. For example, if your compiler can not find <strong>bluetooth.h</strong> header file, you need to install development packages for <a href="http://www.bluez.org/">Bluez</a>. To determine which package is absent is not so hard. Just remember which file was not found by compiler, then open <a href="http://rpm.pbone.net/">rpm.pbone.net</a> or <a href="http://rpmfind.net">rpmfind.net</a> and try to search the package you need to install.</p>
<p class="scroll2top"><a href="#content">Scroll to top</a></p>
<h2><a name="faq03">I run anyRemote and got the following: <em>ERROR: Fails in init_cfg()</em></a></h2>
<p>you have to specify a configuration file which will be used by anyRemote:</p>
<pre>anyremote -f /path/to/configuration/file</pre>
<p class="scroll2top"><a href="#content">Scroll to top</a></p>
<h2><a name="faq04">I can run anyRemote but something doesn't work ...</a></h2>
<p>Try to localize problem. Do not use GUI frontends and run anyRemote from command line with <strong>-log</strong> option set. Do not test configuration files one by one. Just choose the simplest one, like kdialog.cfg and inspect what does work and what not. Look at <home>/.anyRemote/anyremote.log for error messages.</p>
<p class="scroll2top"><a href="#content">Scroll to top</a></p>
<h2><a name="faq05">Does anyRemote support application <em>XXX</em>?</a></h2>
<p>In principle it is possible to support almost any application with anyRemote. There are several ways to do that:</p>
<ul>
<li>Some appication (for example Tvtime, Xdtv, Xmms) have command line management utility.</li>
<li>KDE-oriented applications suport <a href="http://linuxgazette.net/issue97/oregan2.html">DCOP</a> command-line interface.</li>
<li>Some appications (for example Rhythmbox) support <a href="http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software_2fdbus">DBUS</a> command-line interface.</li>
<li>Finally it is possible to manage application with keyboard and mouse emulation. Use <strong>Emulate(...)</strong> command to do that. If you are not satisfied with Emulate(...) command it is possible to use external software like <a href="http://hoopajoo.net/projects/xautomation.html">XAutomation</a></li>
</ul>
<p class="scroll2top"><a href="#content">Scroll to top</a></p>
<h2><a name="faq06">Java client can not find PC with anyRemote</a></h2>
<p>Be sure you are using a Server-mode configuration file. Be sure the page and inquiry scan are enabled on bluetooth interface (this could be done with command <strong>hciconfig hci0 piscan</strong>)</p>
<p class="scroll2top"><a href="#content">Scroll to top</a></p>
<h2><a name="faq07">Seems anyRemote works ... but something is going wrong. How can i fix it?</a></h2>
<p>Well, different phones works differently, so it can happen. Try to upgrade to the latest version of anyRemote. Inspect <home>/.anyRemote/*anyremote.log files to determine the possible reasons of undesirable behavoiur. Make sure you have set Log=debug in the configuration file you are using. Also, make sure that the version of the Java Client is the same as the version of anyRemote.</p>
<p class="scroll2top"><a href="#content">Scroll to top</a></p>
<h2><a name="faq08">I have tried all suggestions ... but it still doesn't work. What else can I do?</a></h2>
<p>Send an e-mail to <a href="mailto:anyremote@mail.ru">anyremote@mail.ru</a>. Please, describe the problem, specify phone model and version of distro you have. Also attach to the letter full log file (<home>/.anyRemote/*anyremote.log.*) as well as terminal output of anyRemote.</p>
<p class="scroll2top"><a href="#content">Scroll to top</a></p>
<h2><a name="faq09">It is impossible to control sound volume with some configuration files.</a></h2>
<ul>
<li>If configuration file uses <strong>amixer</strong> utility to control sound volume and it needs to control a non-default sound card it is possible to create the file <strong><home>/.anyRemote/amixer.card</strong> with content like <strong>"-c X"</strong>, where X is the number of the sound card to control.</li>
<li>If configuration file uses <strong>amixer</strong> utility to control sound volume and it needs to control a channel different from <strong>Master</strong> it is possible to create file <strong>$HOME/.anyRemote/amixer.channel</strong> with content equal to channel name to control.</li>
</ul>
<p class="scroll2top"><a href="#content">Scroll to top</a></p>
<h2><a name="faq10">Should I run <a href="http://bemused.sourceforge.net/">Bemused</a> server to make anyRemote work?</a></h2>
<p>No. AnyRemote does not use Bemused server. It could emulate it to some extent instead. See <a href="bemused.html">this</a> for details.</p>
<p class="scroll2top"><a href="#content">Scroll to top</a></p>
<h2><a name="faq11">Sometimes java client can not connect to anyRemote</a></h2>
<p>This could happen if java client tries to connect to anyRemote at the moment when bluetooth browsing process is active. In normal situation KDEBluetooth or anyRemote GUI tries to find bluetooth devices around from time to time. Unfortunately this could prevent the java client to connect to anyRemote. You can just wait a bit and try to connect again.</p>
<p class="scroll2top"><a href="#content">Scroll to top</a></p>
<h2><a name="faq12">I've created a configuration file for application <em>XXX</em>. Can I share it with other anyRemote users?</a></h2>
<p>Definitely. Send a letter with a short description and attached configuration file. We'll add it to the next release of anyRemote.</p>
<p class="scroll2top"><a href="#content">Scroll to top</a></p>
<h2><a name="faq13">I've got an error when trying to connect to the phone using <em>cu</em></a></h2>
<pre>cu -l /dev/rfcomm0 -s 19200
cu: open (/dev/rfcomm0): Connection refused
cu: /dev/rfcomm0: Line in use</pre>
<p>It needs to pair phone and PC again. To do this remove pairing info on the phone and then make pairing again.</p>
<p class="scroll2top"><a href="#content">Scroll to top</a></p>
<h2><a name="faq14">kAnyRemote crashes with <em>python: xcb_lock.c:33: _XCBUnlockDisplay ...</em> message.</a></h2>
<p>This is a PyKDE bug and happens only under KDE4. Just restart kAnyRemote once more.</p>
