A Novell sponsored page... well, kind off. The writers do not necesarily work for Novell. I have written a few things there, it is a wiki.
By the way, bluetooth works in 11.0 and 12.0, in gnome, I use it on both versions, but quite differently. No idea about kde. 12.0? Carlos, can you send me a copy from the future too :)
Bluetooth works great for me in 11.2/KDE with a USB dongle (Zoom Bluetooth USB adapter, uses btusb module), with the proviso that I had to update to the latest kbluetooth=0.4.2 from KDE:Backports - the shipped version in 11.2 is useless. With that setup, I can pair devices, do OBEX file transfer, use input devices, etc. etc. quite nicely. Audio support is not working yet, but the next version of kbluetooth supposedly will have a first attempt.
In 11.0 I have to start system service "bluetooth" before gnome sees it. I think it is possible then to see shares from console, configuring I know not what. If it is a system service...
And in 11.2 it doesn't use that system service, afaik. It has crashed on me, too.
It seems a flaky interface to me. When it works, it is pretty nice and cute. Mmm...? Was that an attempt at humour on my part? >:-) I guess its just a question of hardware support, as usual. With certain specific devices everything works great, with others you will have a horrible time.
Stan, which kernel module does your system try to load for your dongle? Do the bluez tools (hcitool, sdptool) work from the commandline? Regards, Tejas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
