Only partly. What do you think of the quoted paragraph about 'You might try this, it won't work, but it will keep you busy'. To me, it's filled with contempt and "don't give a dam". It's way beyond "We work for nothing and you have to like it or lump it". "Go back to v10.3"? Why not send people back to Windows? All that on a Novell-sponsored page.
i think that contempt is in the ear of the beholder -- what i hear from that quote is frustration -- the author did everything they could to fix it or provide a workaround and met too many roadblocks along the way -- as a final measure of exasperation they left the cynical statement in a public place hoping it would draw enough attention that the people with the ability to remove the roadblocks would do so
I agree. It is a sense of humour, which is known to be understood diferent on diferent cultures.
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.
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? >:-)
The last time i had a correctly functioning Bluetooth setup was on 10.3 x86_64 nothing since then had come close This box it just freezes solid and the laptop it kills the mouse dead. So have given up on bluetooth right now dont have the time nor inclination to faf around trying to fix something that worked fine and got screwed by a lack of attention / un warrented changes .
