Bluetooth Dongle not working after KDE4.8.3 upgrade
« on: September 05, 2012, 07:22:26 AM »
Every few updates it seems to break but I haven't got it going again this time. :(
I have Bluedevil and Bluez installed.

USB Viewer gives me

SiW
Manufacturer: SiW
Serial Number: 158F05F61100
Speed: 12Mb/s (full)
USB Version:  1.10
Device Class: e0(wlcon)
Device Subclass: 01
Device Protocol: 01
Maximum Default Endpoint Size: 64
Number of Configurations: 1
Vendor Id: 0c10
Product Id: 0000
Revision Number: 15.00
Truncated
I gather the /etc/bluetooth/main.conf DeviceID is made up of the last three items. Am I correct in that it is 0c10:0000:1500.  Do I need to change the Default device class.

bluetoothd -n -d gives me

Any help would be most appreciated.

Kernel? Open Terminal, go su:

Code: [Select]
bluetoothd -u
Does the adapter start?

Edit: maybe this can help you?
PCLinuxOS e17 Club member/e17 video/Wifi problems?
those who complain rarely read. those who read rarely complain

Try add new user account and test in new account.
If this solved problem, so problem will in setings/Configurations KDE in old account.
If this solved problem, may need to be delete Configurations files, KDE make new files.

I will give this a try but as it isn't a user account thing I won't be holding my breath.
