What it means is that the headset and the adapter that I bought are now junk, which was more than a disappointment. I would cheerfully move ahead to 11.2, if that didn't mean putting up with kde4, which is too great a price to pay. All that said, I continue to believe that it was a mistake and worse to abandon what was kde, and foist a radically different desktop on users.
Stan, without getting into any arguments, just a suggestion. If you absolutely must avoid KDE4 at all costs, just do a console-only install of 11.2, then add KDE:KDE3 repository and install and run 3.5.10. Though whether this will work for any further openSUSE releases is not guaranteed. openSUSE 11.2 != KDE4 I bought a tiny little usb bluetooth device from Staples here in the UK. When I plug it in I get the following messages:
Mar 22 20:43:46 linux-box kernel: usb 4-4.3: Manufacturer: Broadcom Corp Mar 22 20:43:46 linux-box kernel: usb 4-4.3: SerialNumber: 00123456789 ... Mar 22 20:43:47 linux-box bluetoothd[3107]: Adapter /org/bluez/3107/hci0 has been enabled
Then I upgraded to kbluetooth-0.4.2-7.2 which gives more functionality than I had with 0.3 something. BEWARE When installing this it dragged down a large array of dependant packages from the online repositories and upgraded KDE from 4.3 (I think!) (whatever comes as default version on the 11.1 DVD) up to 4.4.1.
Yes, unfortunately kbluetooth 0.4 seems to require KDE >= 4.4 so there is no simple backport for 11.1 ... But I assume Stan would be running kdebluetooth from KDE3, and I don't know if it still works or if bluez went through some incompatible changes since the last KDE3 release.
Since then my sound is not working properly. Something to do with pulseaudio and/or phonon. Haven't had time to properly investigate. Bluetooth works a treat though. :-)
I can now send and receive files from my mobile phone
So good points - Bluetooth Yay! and bad points - Non working sound - Bah!
Ritchie, phonon has a tendency to get left behind during upgrades, just do a zypper dup -r KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop and see if that fixes it. Regards, Tejas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
