since kernel 3.5 (no with kernel <= 3.4) 1. Mandriva 2010.2 i586 kde 4.8.5, kernel 3.5.7, bluedevil 1.3rc2 when i start pc then i open a kde session then i see : - the bluetooth dongle flashes, indicating it is active - bluedevil icon is "bluetooth is not active" (by default i put in this state bluedevil) if with bluedevil you activate or inactivate then - bluedevil switches to the required state - dongle stays active if you run "bluetoohd stop" or "bluetoohd start" then - bluedevil stays in its current states - dongle stays active if you run "hciconfig hci0 up" or "hciconfig hci0 down" then - bluedevil switches to "active" or not "active" - dongle stays active 2. openSUSE 12.3 x86_64 , kde 4.10, bluedevil 1.3 2.1 when i start pc then i open a kde session then i see : - the bluetooth dongle does not flashes, indicating it is inactive - bluedevil icon is "bluetooth is active" then if you required to bluedevil to switches to "inactive" then - bluedevil stays "active" - bluetooth dongle stays inactive then if you run "hciconfig hci0 up" then - bluedevil stays active - bluetooth dongle swithes to active - now you can switches bluedevil to "active" or "inactive" but bluetooth dongle stays "active" 2.2. once you reach the state "bluetooth dongle is active if with bluedevil you activate or inactivate then - bluedevil switches to the required state - dongle stays active if you run "bluetoohd stop" then - bluedevil swithes to "bluetooth inactivated" - dongle stays active if you run "hciconfig hci0 down then - bluedevil does not change its state - dongle stays active Reproducible: Always
to sum up : - bluetooth dongle is activated at startup and we can't unactivate it or - bluetooth dongle is not activated at startup and we can't activate it in the case of"bluetooth dongle is not activated at startup and we can't activate it" there is a subproblem : bluedevil is blocked in the false state "bluetooth is activated" to unblock it we must run ""hcicongi hci0 up" even unblocked we can't activate bluetooth dongle
can you paste the output of: rfkill list thanks !
mandriva 2010.2 i586 [root@localhost ~]# rfkill list 0: hci0: Bluetooth Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 1: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no [root@localhost ~]# i will try with opensuse 12.3
openSUSE 12.3 x86_64 linux-ia9o:~ # rfkill list 0: hci0: Bluetooth Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 1: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no linux-ia9o:~ #
openSUSE 12.3 there is something different with mandriva 2010.2 i586 mandriva 2010.2 i586 : a daemon bluetoothd with the command bluetooth stop opensuse 12.3 x86_64 : a daemon bluetoothd with the command bluetooth -n
Mandriva is using an unsupported BlueDevil version, and from the name (2010) possibly an unsupported BlueZ version, let's focus on opensuse.
We have fixed a bunch of stuff related to this in the incoming 1.3.1, are you able to grab a snapshot made of master? If not, we better wait until 1.3.1 before doing more testing.
with mandriva i am very easy to compile and to test. it's not the case with opensuse but i can try to compile bluedevil 1.3.1 where to grab it and how ?
git clone git://anongit.kde.org/libbluedevil and git clone git://anongit.kde.org/bluedevil
(In reply to comment #9) > git clone git://anongit.kde.org/libbluedevil > and > git clone git://anongit.kde.org/bluedevil 2 times ?????? what is the the command to compile because i don't know anything about cmake.
ok i didn't read well
also what is the command to install ? thanks

Hello, I have same problem in openSUSE 12.3 (openSUSE 12.3 x86_64 , kde 4.10.2, bluedevil 1.3-2.1.2) If i could help sending any info, please, tell me. Thanks a lot, Miguel
today bluedevil has been updated to 1.3.1 with opensuse 12.3 x86_64 pb still there
there is same pb as opensuse 12.3 x86_64 with Rosa fresh EE 2012.1 x86_64 : - during pc boot the dongle is not activated - bluedevil is blocked to state "activated" - if i unblock bluedevil with "hciconf hci0 up" then with bluedevil in state "activated" or "not activated" then the dongle stays "activated" it seems this is a general pb
Rosa Fresh EE 2012.1 x86_64 bluetooth packets : bluedevil 1.3 lib64bluedevil 1.9.2 bluez 4.101 lib64usb-compat0.1_4 0.1.4 openobex 1.6 obex-data-server 0.4.6 obexd 0.46 obexftp 0.23 lib64dbus-glib-1.2 0.98 according to this document http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/general/obex-data-server.html i see one version pb lib64dbus-glib-1.2 must be 0.100 and it is 0.98 version
i wonder if the pb is that since kernel 3.4 there is a new way to manage bluetooth. i read this "BlueZ only supports the new Bluetooth Management kernel interface that was introduced in Linux 3.4" here http://www.bluez.org/release-of-bluez-5-0/ or this "BlueZ developers have recently added the Bluetooth Management (MGMT) Interface to the Linux Kernel, which significantly improves the Bluetooth experience on Linux." here http://padovan.org/blog/2013/02/the-big-changes-of-bluez-5/ i wonder if the solution is to update to bluez 5
too old i close
