I would like to test it, but I don't have factory currently installed.
Problem one, is that I have problems with getting vmware player running. Problem two is that factory install media was just released this week, and according to the reports I read, it fails a lot. One report says it breaks grub of the main system, so I will not risk a real hardware install...
Just a note, openSUSE 13.1 comes with qemu/kvm and VirtualBox which are perfectly capable of running Factory and testing software like this, on openQA you can even check beforehend if a certain build installs and runs in a vm. qmeu/kvm can both pass through USB devices and even emulate a bluetooth hci which should be enough to test wehther the applet runs.
I'm aware of their existence... but I can not learn everything :-) I just managed to get vmplayer running again. Apparently, I just had to update from version 5 to version 6, because probably of changes in the kernel headers and locations, as usual. I use vmware simply because it supports very old operating systems, such as MsDOS or Windows Me. Virtualbox does not (although some people say they work, there are not guest tools for them). I do not like that it is proprietary software, free for personal use only. Now I have to adapt some things and find out if it really works. For instance, as I tried this "gnome-bluetooth-applet" on real hardware, I can not know what resources it brings in from gnome, nor verify if it interferes or not with the native gnome tools, as I think it does. I would need two 13.1 installs to try this out, time permitting, but in virtual hardware instead (my bluetooth is via an USB dongle, so it works in a virtualized environment). - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
