Description Tomasz Dudzik 2009-04-19 21:52:21 UTC 
Version:            (using Devel)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

I'd like to have a bluetooth support in KDE out of the box. I meant i plug the bluetooth adaper and something should notify me that it's plugged in, works, and give me a way to set a mobile or mouse, or other bluetooth devie up. I tested the new Ubuntu today and it has something like that, what i really liked. I know there is kbluetooth4, but it doesn't compile, or doesn't "see" my adapter, or, or... I report that as a wish, but i think it's a big bug in KDE4. Don't want to be rude, but...

If you have specific bugs or problems with kdebluetooth4 or have specific wishes for it, please refile them. But this wish is too generic to be tracked, since the current situation is almost exactly what you want. You can get compiling help from the kbluetooth4 developers or elsewhere, but not from bugzilla. 

Next time: We'd also need to know what version you are using. If you are using a development version, then which?

Thanks!

Maybe I said that wrong. All i meant was to integrate kbluetooth4 with KDE. So when i install KDE, i don't need to get any others apps to use bluetooth. It should be there. Don't you think it would be better?

kbluetooth4 is currently in playground, so I would find it unlikely to be on a default disto release yet. We wouldn't have control over them picking it or not. 

In general, that kind of hardware interaction is provided by Solid.
