Any idea?

Yes, to tell the truth, I cannot get the device to be trusted either. I have got to run the "dbus-send" command upon every reboot. I need to eventually put together a BASH script that will pull the device path from /var/log/messages and run the "dbus-send" command automatically, but I have been procrastinating, in hopes this issue will be resolved with an official openSUSE patch. For now, my wired keyboard remains connected in order to run the command every morning!

Arrghhh.. this is too much pain for a tiny mouse...

This why I love linux 80% of the time and hate it the other 20%.

Simple hardware can be a pain in the arse!

Bluetooth is not "simple hardware". It is extremely complex.
Small surprise it isn't working every time. More of a surprise
it works as often as it does.

It may be complex, but it is not a new technology (formally specified in 1998), it is an open standard, and it is very popular. A functional Bluetooth implementation is a requirement for a modern desktop operating system.

Absolutely agree. I was just responding to silalaval's rant
about "simple hardware" not working.

Happy new year

Creating device failed: org.bluez.Error.AlreadyExists: Bonding already exists

Hi I have this problem. After I had restart my PC.......

I'd like to use the steps from "HOWTO Bluetooth Apple Keyboard (aluminum model)" with an other bluetooth device, i.e. with a mobile internet connection. With some older SuSe I used

pand --connect <address> --service NAP

to pair with my mobile and then was asked by kbluetooth (?) for the PIN. How can I do this with above descritption (or any other way with SuSe 11.1)?

I think at least the "org.bluez.Input.Connect" in the dbus-send command has to be changed?

openSUSE 10.x thru 11.0 never failed to detect and set up my Kensington Bluetooth Mouse on a Thinkpad T43. The combo worked so well I guess it is time to do a retrograde back to 11.0 or maybe try out that new shiny sidux 2008-4 DVD that's working so well on my main box.

This is a big disappointment!

Hi all, I have some problem...is for the TRUST part...

linux-0wpl:/home/nelsonlye/Documents # ./test-device.pl trusted 00:07:61:D4:B4:DE yes
bash: ./test-device.pl: No such file or directory

Can someone guide me???? Thanks...

Hi,
I'm using the simple-agent script and it asks for a PIN. But what is it???
I'm trying to connect a Microsoft (sorry, please don't ban me) Intellimouse Explorer for Bluetooth and it does not have any PIN's or passkeys...
What am I supposed to enter? Please help... Thanks!
