Basic - how to install packages - Bluetooth
Software
XBian version: latest Stable in ssh it says: 20150304-2
XBMC/Kodi version: Kodi
Overclock settings: no

Hardware
Device type and model RPI 2
Power supply rating: 2A
SD card size and make/type: 16
Network (Ethernet or wireless): ether
Connected devices (TV, USB, network storage, ...): Bluetooth dongle

Hi,
i am very new to the whole RPI world.

My initial Problem is, to get a Bluettooth Keyboard working with my RPI 2
I read a few tutorials, and all state that i need the BT Package first. (i think the name is bluez). So i read a tutorial on how to load packages on a RPI. They all say to use the command apt-get ....

But in the Xbian FAQs there is this warning about NOT to use apt-get, but instead use the Xbian-config.
In the Xbian-config via SSH i find the "Packages", but in the Packages menu i can not find the "BT package"

So my question is simple. How do i get it?

Thx in advance.


edit: or is it only the specific "apt-get dist-upgrade" command i shall not use. Normal apt-get commands are ok? If that is the case, i guess i get it, but the FAQ title is a little confusing

The FAQ is about not using "apt-get dist-upgrade" or you probably break alot of packages.
Good luck and welcome to XBian.
Hope you enjoy!
