I'm running Ubuntu 13.04 Server on a Mac OS X (Maverick) and python 2.7.5.

I installed PyBluez and Bluez-libs. When I type

import bluetooth

or

from bluetooth import *

it successfully imports but when I try to run a basic script using the

discover_devices()

method, I get this error

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "./fin.py", line 4, in <module>

    devlist = discover_devices()

  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/bluetooth/bluez.py", line 17, in    discover_devices

    sock = _gethcisock ()

  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/bluetooth/bluez.py", line 226, in _gethcisock

    raise BluetoothError ("error accessing bluetooth device")

bluetooth.btcommon.BluetoothError: error accessing bluetooth device

and when I type

~$ hcitool dev

no devices are named.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

  I have an Ubuntu Server partition installed on Oracle VM VirtualBox and that has python 2.7.5+ on it. I'm using SSH to communicate with it on my Mac which has OS X Maverick.

This happens because (most likely) the server doesn't have bluetooth interfaces (what server uses bluetooth anyways?) or it doesn't get detected. The output of hcitool being blank points that you don't have bluetooth interfaces connected to the system working as server (if it's a VM, unless it's USB adapter it could not work).
