[opensuse-kde] Bluetooth infrastructure broken in 12.1, possible fix from upstream.
All is explained in Novell Bugzilla Bug 725962: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=725962 but I will make a summary: Bluetooth infrastructure is broken for many people in OpenSUSE 12.1 RC1, some people are having kded or plasma crashes, and other haven't crashes, but Bluetooth is neither working properly. I think a working Bluetooth is important nowadays, due to the big amount of mobile devices and wireless bluetooth-based devices like earphones... The problems seems to be curiously in networkmanager applet according to upstream, it causes a crash due to a pointer which is not tested before using it (as explained in the commit). This upstream commit could fix this issue then: http://commits.kde.org/networkmanagement/ff842ef744465d704ff609dbdbccff72c05... Please watch if someone could backport this commit to OpenSUSE 12.1 in order to have a release with a working Bluetooth. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

Did this problem only start in RC1?

No question. Without working Bluetooth I wouldn't be able to ship 12.1 on any notebooks for my customers. Bluetooth was broken in 11.2 and there were driver issues for a number of adapters in 11.3, so it was difficult to ship to customers who needed Bluetooth for a while there. To have another release so soon without functioning Bluetooth would make things very difficult.

If this is all that is required in order to get Bluetooth working and the issue has in fact been fixed upstream, I see no reason not to apply this fix. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

That commit was unrelated so I nailed the bug myself. SR 89572 to Factory.

Thanks you very much Stephenson. I will test it and will give some feedback here or in the bug report if were necessary (I hope for not necessary). 2011/10/27 Will Stephenson <wstephenson@suse.de>:
