[opensuse] bluetooth problem (42.3, 42.1)
I have a new Dell T3620 workstation which has a very cool wireless keyboard (WK717) that handles 3 devices simultaneously (hardware slide-switch on top the keyboard). One connection is by a Dell proprietary dongle, similar to a Logitech dongle, and the other two connections are bluetooth. Didn't come with the extra bluetooth dongles needed for most desktops so I bought a couple on eBay that are fully within the Dell specs and also listed in the (old?) openSUSE HCL as working (Cambridge CSR 4.0) My main business OS on the T3620 is 42.3 with a XFCE desktop. The wireless dongle is connected to this one and works great in 42.3, instantly recognized, instant plug-and-play. The second machine I need to connect is an old HP DC7800 Core 2 Duo with a half-dozen OS's on-board. I plugged in a bluetooth dongle and booted up Win10 and that was plug-and-play, OS found the dongle, presented a bluetooth icon in the tray, and pairing to the keyboard was easy. But, the OS I need to use with the bluetooth on this machine is 42.1 with an LXDE desktop and I'm not getting how to get it working. The 42.1 boots with the dongle down, I can 'hciconfig' to bring it up and then it's recognized fine. But 'hcitool scan' doesn't find the keyboard. The lights come on both the dongle and the keyboard but They don't find each other. BUT! The only other bluetooth device I have here today is a phone and the phone and the dongle do see each other fine AND the phone and the keyboard also see each other fine. So why don't the dongle and the keyboard see each other? I'm a bluetooth dummy and I'm obviously missing something here. What? Thanks.
