Description djraptor29 2013-12-16 22:42:48 UTC

I am currently using a nc8430 HP laptop that has bluetooth on board. However, I have recently upgraded to OpenSUSE 13.1 and now the bluetooth adapter is not recognized with in KDE. While the earlier version of OpenSUSE 12.3 worked find. I have tested GNOME 3 as well with in OpenSUSE 13.1 and the adapter works fine and bluetooth is recognized.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Went into KDE Control Panel and selected Bluetooth shows that adapter not being detected
2. Same process
3.
Actual Results:  
Same results 

Expected Results:  
Should have recognized the bluetooth adapter as it is recognized in other desktop manager (GUI's)

The option with in the Bluetooth section is turned on and it does not detect the bluetooth adapter that is on board the laptop. I have turned the option off and back on both through the software and through the button on the laptop.

Read the openSUSE 13.1 release notes.

Thank you Christoph for your comment. You are correct there was information regarding bluetooth problems found within the openSUSE 13.1 release notes. I followed what it recommended, but the Bluedevil app quit on me. Looks like I am back to square one on looking for a work around. Any further suggestion are welcome.

Please ask on openSUSE forums or mailing lists. The bluez5 port of bluedevil is not released yet, so KDE developers will simply recommend the bluez4 version for now.
