There is no Xfce or DE-independent effort of creating a Bluez-based GUI that I'm aware of, and certainly nothing packaged in openSUSE.
So I thought.
You can still do everything from the commandline though.
No, impossible. I have been trying for days, with help from others in the mail list, and it is impossible.
There is blueman, but this requires installing the deprecated 'hal' from the kde3 repo. I have tried without that and it is incapable of working.
Blueman is a long dead project and doesn't work with Bluez5.
I have tried several tools from the bluez toolkit, and it has been impossible, or nobody knows how. The package contains no documentation or howto, the FAQ on their home page is just vestigial, empty of content.
If you know of a commandline utility (set) that allows pairing and transferring of files, and how to do it, please contribute to that mail list thread.
Nobody has pointed us yet to a webpage that explains how to do these things.
Pairing can be done with bluetoothctl which is part of the bluez package and file transfer e.g. via obexftp or obexfs. While bluetoothctl lacks some official documentation its use was even discussed in the Bluez 5 thread on the mailing list: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2013-10/msg00061.html I mean that's basic stuff you can find out with a simple google search. To get back on topic, if you want something in the release notes I suggest you post a draft here. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
