Bugzilla – Bug 450260
KBluetooth4 appears to do nothing when started
Last modified: 2008-12-07 21:52:05 UTC
When the Kdebluetooth4 icon is clicked under 'Internet'->'Data Exchange'. Nothing appears to happen. No bluetooth icon appears in the panel. I can see that kbluetooth4 is in the process list. I have a Lenovo Thinkpad T60 and the bluetooth light is on. Since I installed OpenSuse 11.1 RC1 it is always on, even when I boot back to 10.3 (which is really strange). I checked YaST and kdebluetooth4 is installed, not kdebluetooth. :)
I get the same, yet if I use kdebluetooth3 it tells me that no bluetooth device is found, although it is active according to the boot-log. AFAIK the bluetooth icon only appears, if the bluetooth device is active, so you might have the same issue. Try to install the kde3 applet, which always shows up in systray, and test whether it works or gives any hints.

I installed kdebluetooth3 and the bluetooth-obex client does come up, but like Sven it does not find any devices. I'm trying to connect from my Thinkpad to a Motorola Razr2 V8 phone. Neither the phone or the computer can discover the other. Before I reported this, I *really* did attempt a search, but didn't find anything related to bluetooth. Subsequent search find a bunch, I have no idea what I searched before... :(
I can confirm this - bluetooth even with kbluetooth for kde3 doesn't work. Here is a dmesg when plugging in usb adapter: http://pastebin.com/m43fe67fd
