Hi to all,

I've recently acquired a Toshiba netbook. I am using Opensuse with KDE just like in my desktop machine.

Problem is, the bluetooth adapter is not being recognized by BlueDevil although the hardware information on Yast describes it properly.

How should i start to tackle the problem??

Thanks in advance

what version of bluedevil are you running? in kde playground repo is bluedevil-1.0.4.git.1305099846 - might help http://download.opensuse.org/repositori ... SUSE_11.4/

you could look in the mailing list http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-hardware-devel/ (Google with search: site:http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-hardware-devel/ bluedevel) and http://bugs.kde.org for similar problems

might help if you include the bluetooth chipset in your searching

Hey

Sorry for the late reply. Ill start with that, thanks for the help! ill be back if i can't find a solution

Hi again,

I did upgrade bluedevil to the newest version but with no success, it still does not detect the device. Curiously, opensuse and kde are able to tell me that the bluetooth device is actually detected, driver and module loaded.

This is what i get from hardware info:

Don't have/know bt so can't really help

you could try installing and running the gnome bt manager called blueman

you can try adding the package bluez-compat "This package contains older and partly deprecated binaries that might still be needed for compatibility" though if your bt is new it shouldn't help
