[opensuse] kbluetooth just died
I have been using a bluetooth mouse for a long time. Today hit the keyboard combination which turns off radios (airplane mode) by mistake, and then turned them back on again . From that point on kbluetooth would not run. It would die instantly with " kbluetooth: symbol lookup error: kbluetooth: undefined symbol: _ZN5Solid7Control16BluetoothManager4selfEv" Uninstall, reinstall, reboot, everything failed. Out of desparation I installed BlueDevil and everything instantly works again. What would cause this? Is kbluetooth suddenly depricated or what? -- A computer without Microsoft is like a chocolate cake without mustard. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Usually symbol lookup errors mean that a package is not "compatible" to another one, e.g. kdelibs. So your KDE version might not fit that kbluetooth package anymore after an update. Kbluetooth as such is indeed deprecated. Sven -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Solid::Control::BluetoothManager was a member of an internal library [1] in kdebase4-workspace, which has been refactored out of existence in KDE 4.6 http://api.kde.org/4.5-api/kdebase-workspace- apidocs/libs/solid/html/classSolid_1_1Control_1_1BluetoothManager.html It looks like kbluetooth was using this library. Were you using kbluetooth with KDE < 4.6 then upgraded to 4.6? If so this is the root of your problem, not turning on airplane mode. In any case we should make BlueDevil obsolete KBluetooth so it is replaced on upgrade.

Yes, I had been using Kbluetooth over an upgrade to 4.6, and until yesterday it was happy to run. I suspect it was in memory and continued running till the last link to something it needed was broken, the file got cleaned off the disk and then it was toast. Oddly, this machine never suggested I should install BlueDevil, and I stumbled upon it quite by accident while trashing around for a solution. So having it obsolete Kbluetooth would be great. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
