Description sonoio.fs 2013-05-20 12:39:33 UTC
Hi *,

(a) sorry for giving kde in field 'product', I can't allocate it more precisely
(b) I checked (and re-checked) that in BIOS my notebook's built-in bluetooth is enabled

The problem: I'm trying to use a bluetooth mouse.
I therefore am trying to pair it with my PC, but in 'system settings' --> (Network and Connections) Bluetooth I'm getting a window stating that 'No Bluetooth adapters have been found'

When deploying rfkill, I'm getting:
<snip>
$> /usr/sbin/rfkill list
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: no
$>
</snip>
i.e. no trace of Bluetooth :-(

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Boot PC and log in.
Actual Results:  
See Summary

Expected Results:  
Detect the Bluetooth adapter and let me try to pair my mouse.

Many thanks in advance for any advice.

what is the result of  command:
hcitool scan

If it do not show your Bluetooth mouse, it is your driverissue.
Comment 2 sonoio.fs 2013-05-25 06:15:17 UTC
$> hcitool scan
Device is not available: No such device
$>

@Chao Feng: I don't quite understand your statement "If it do not show your Bluetooth mouse, it is your driverissue."
How can I see my Bluetooth mouse, if there was no Bluetooth adapter found?

For device related KDE issue, the common steps are:
1. Try to configure device without KDE. 
2. If it works, than it may be KDE bug.
3. If it does not work, than it should be underline driver or tool issue. KDE can do little because it only stack on top of them.

If you can not find your mouse using raw command, than it need to be fixed from the driver side. There is nothing KDE could do here. You need to find support from your distro or your Blue tooth device.
