Hello I am able to pair my bluetooth microsoft keyboard 6000. However I am unable to pair my SoundLink on-ear Bluetooth® headphon. I had these earphone phone working before but unfortunately I cleared my paring and not can't pair it. I do see my 'Bose OE SoundLink' in the bluetooth wizard, when I select it times out and nothing happens.
Update: My bluetooth disappears on a reboot so I am forced to add it again. My bose headphone still not working. I now have 2 keyboards a usb and a bluetooth one. I don't know what happen to Linux and KDE but ever since the last release it's been really aweful! Things that use to work don't, I spent countless hours on google looking for solutions, fixes take forever or just don't happen. It feels like the quality has become sloppy these days from KDE. I want my Bluetooth working. I've had countless of other issues with KDE/Linux and I am almost at the point of giving up on KDE.
Correction should say my bluetooth device (keyword) disappears...
I'm sorry about your experience, but this problem is only because Kubuntu (as the only distribution nowadays) still don't use BlueZ 5. BlueZ 4 support in KDE is really old, buggy and not maintained for a long time. When you update to BlueZ 5, I believe you will be pleased with state of Bluetooth support. Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do to help you. And please don't blame us for this issue, it's really not our fault.
Thank for your reply, I will look into installing BlueZ 5 on my system.
Just for the record, you will then need either Bluedevil 2.1 for KDE4 or any recent Plasma 5 version of Bluedevil.
I reinstall the bluez 5 from source after removing the old bluez package from my system. I also install my system bluedevil package but nothing seems to be working. Do I have the right version of bluedevil? yadav@karma:~$ bluedevil-wizard --version Qt: 4.8.6 KDE Development Platform: 4.14.6 Bluetooth Wizard: 1.3.0 yadav@karma:~$ uname -a Linux karma 3.19.0-28-generic #30-Ubuntu SMP Mon Aug 31 15:52:51 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux yadav@karma:~$ dmesg|ag -i blue [ 7.523960] Bluetooth: Core ver 2.20 [ 7.523977] Bluetooth: HCI device and connection manager initialized [ 7.523981] Bluetooth: HCI socket layer initialized [ 7.523983] Bluetooth: L2CAP socket layer initialized [ 7.523988] Bluetooth: SCO socket layer initialized [ 15.408859] Bluetooth: BNEP (Ethernet Emulation) ver 1.3 [ 15.408862] Bluetooth: BNEP filters: protocol multicast [ 15.408867] Bluetooth: BNEP socket layer initialized [ 16.083667] Bluetooth: RFCOMM TTY layer initialized [ 16.083673] Bluetooth: RFCOMM socket layer initialized [ 16.083679] Bluetooth: RFCOMM ver 1.11 [ 180.864614] Bluetooth: HIDP (Human Interface Emulation) ver 1.2 [ 180.864621] Bluetooth: HIDP socket layer initialized
I am back to square one, bluetooth keyboard work, stop working on reboot, headphone don't work at all. How can I get KDE to detect my bluetooth devices and remember my settings? Is it not capable of even doing this. This is kind of lame.
You still have Bluedevil 1.3 which is for KDE4. I can't guess the version of BlueZ from the syslog output, but if it worked with Bluedevil, then it must still be BlueZ 4.
I feel like I am going around in circles, I have Kubuntu 15.05 installed so I already have Plasma 5. My KDE Plasma version is 5.2.2. So does it not come with the latest bluetooth modules? Like bluez 5 and bluedevil? In any regards I install bluez 5 from source, so what's wrong? You keep telling me I have the wrong versions installed. Can you please tell me how to check the version for the bluetooth stuff so I can get it working again?
Bluedevil must be Qt 5 (KF5) based and in your case version 5.2.2, as the rest of Plasma. BlueZ must be 5.xx version, and you should be able to check it from syslog: bluetoothd[505]: Bluetooth daemon 5.33
