Issues with getting ubertooth one to work in kismet - ubuntu 14.04 about ubertooth HOT 13 CLOSED

Hi,

Does the symbolic link to the plugin-ubertooth directory go anywhere? i.e. does it point to the plugin in the Ubertooth source directory?

Do you have any output from the build process?
Specifically the sudo make plugins-install step?

Thanks for taking time to reply Dominic!

I'm using to symbolic link command to point to the ubertooth-2014-02-R2 folder which is sitting in my home directory. It isn't giving any return:

openferret@ubuntu:$ cd kismet-2013-03-R1b
openferret@ubuntu:/kismet-2013-03-R1b$ ln -s ../ubertooth-2014-02-R2/host/kismet/plugin-ubertooth .
openferret@ubuntu:~/kismet-2013-03-R1b$ ./configure

Then when I run the sudo make plugins-install step I get:

openferret@ubuntu:/kismet-2013-03-R1b$ sudo make plugins-install

UPDATE*

Apologies, please cancel my last... For some reason that time it seems to have worked?!?

I can select the plugin in kismet.

It still isn't quite working as it isn't collecting any bluetooth traffic, but its moving forwards:

It looks like you have a permissions error there when trying to access the Ubertooth. You may want to try running as root or adding the udev rule that's in the ubertooth source host/libubertooth/ directory.

from ubertooth.

Apologies, where do I add that udev rule to?

from ubertooth.

The rule goes in to /etc/udev/rules.d/. Then unplug and re-connect the device.

from ubertooth.

Yep, that has sorted it. Had to edit the .rules file slightly and change GROUP="usb" to GROUP="plugdev".

Many thanks for all your help buddy!

No problem, if it's working now, I'll close this issue.

I have found that starting wireshark gives the error:

Couldn't load module /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/wireshark/plugins/1.12.0/btbb.so: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/wireshark/plugins/1.12.0/btbb.so: undefined symbol: check_col

Apologies for bringing more stuff back to you!

from ubertooth.

Ah, now I see why this wasn't fixed in the release but was working on git master, I fixed the issue after the release. There are more commits that I need to add to the new version.

I've also left a comment on the wrong issue... This was for issue #36

Will teach me for playing with linux and a bottle of wine... apologies again.

Hi guys. Help me
"Couldn't load module /usr/local/lib/wireshark/plugins/1.12.8/packet-openflow.so: /usr/local/lib/wireshark/plugins/1.12.8/packet-openflow.so: undefined symbol: check_col"

from ubertooth.

@buidang That error has nothing to do with this issue or the Ubertooth project. I suggest you ask the Wireshark developers or the developers of the OpenFlow dissector.
