Description Nathan Davey 2008-07-02 20:35:08 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.0.4)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

When I click on the K icon in the applet tray, the error stated previously occurs.  I cant access any bluetooth devices.
Comment 1 Aldoo 2008-07-03 00:20:08 UTC
Easy to reproduce.
I believe that is because kde-bluetooth is still a KDE3 app, and tries to open a bluetooth:// URI, which is supported in KDE3 by some kio slave, but not in KDE4.
Maybe that bug should become a wish for a bluetooth kio slave in KDE4, or for a kde-bluetooth port which does not need that kio slave.
Comment 2 Edwin Boersma 2008-07-09 16:16:55 UTC
Yes, I found that the file bluetooth.protocol is not available for kde4 (in /usr/share/kde4/services). You could copy it from /opt/kde3/share/services/, but even then it won't work, because de kio-slave kio_bluetooth is not available.
Copying the one from KDE3 gives segfaults.

It seems, that KDE4 was released WITHOUT bluetooth support... Scandalous!!!
Comment 3 Roman Šmakal 2008-07-10 15:26:18 UTC
KDE4 have bluetooth support, but not in konqueror. There have to be maked a bluetooth kio slave to make it properly working in konqueror
Comment 4 Edwin Boersma 2008-07-11 07:31:55 UTC
Yes, but what is the sense of bluetooth support if there is no application to use it, except for bluetooth input devices? We want to manage our phones!
Comment 5 MartinG 2008-08-18 22:42:58 UTC
Bug confirmed (ok, "missing feature" confirmed).
kdelibs-4.1.0-5.fc9.i386
kdebluetooth-1.0-0.41.beta8.fc9.i386
Comment 6 Bob Skaroff 2008-11-11 00:40:56 UTC
no kde4 bluetooth kio slave in 4.1.3
Comment 7 Frode Woldsund 2009-01-21 13:50:21 UTC
Bluetooth does work in KDE 4.3 ,openSuse 11.1 :)
Kbluetooth4 does work perfect now

No. I could reproduce this error by typing bluetooth:/// into konqi's location bar.
Comment 9 Dennis Schridde 2011-04-25 13:53:44 UTC
Fixed by switching to bluedevil?
Comment 10 Thorsten Staerk 2011-04-26 04:37:44 UTC
Still the same error in konqueror from KDE 4.4.4.
Comment 11 Thorsten Staerk 2011-04-26 04:43:38 UTC
Still the same error in konqueror 4.6.41 (4.7 >= 20110106).

Guys, this error started with 4.0.4 and we had everything working fine with 3.5. It cannot be that after upgrading, bluetooth is no longer available. That is why I recommend KDE 3.5. I think this is a shame.

Thanks for the answer.

The question is: Are you still using the broken KBluetooth, or the newer replacement BlueDevil? If you use the former, get rid of it and install the latter. It works fine here.
Comment 13 Tom Albers 2013-02-11 20:27:11 UTC
Bluetooth support has been replaced by "BlueDevil" and the old code is no
longer maintained. If you still have an issue with Bluetooth support in a
recent KDE version, such as KDE 4.9.5 or 4.10, please report a new bug.

Also, if this is a feature request that has not yet been implemented in
BlueDevil, please add a comment.
