Please post the output of

rkill list

rkill?
There is no command associated with it.

Hi
If it’s not there, then you need to install it. It also needs to be run as root user.

There is not a single program in any of the repositories named rkill.

Hi
It’s rfkill (missed the typo in the other posts)

Ah, sorry about the typo, it is rfkill. I guess I need to proofread.

0: hci0: Bluetooth
	Soft blocked: no
	Hard blocked: no

Hi
So if you run the command;


hcitool scan

Do you see your bluetooth enabled device? Are you trying to connect to a mouse, phone or other device?

I have found with my bluetooth mouse and the Gnome DE, that I need to run the above command numerous times until it appears in the command line scan, then at that point it will connect via the GUI tool. My blackberry doesn’t have these issues and connects straight away.

I am trying to connect with a phone.
“hcitool scan” doesnt find any mobile.The only command that worked was “hcitool name” as I got the bluetooth address from my phoone.

Hi
Can you install bluez-hcidump then open two terminals, in one login as
root user and run the command hcidump, then in the other hcitool scan
what sort of output do you see from the hcidump output?

If you want, post the output here and post the link back here;

The displayed bdaddr matches with my mobile but ‘hcitool scan’ doesnt show it.

Hi
Your not getting a request on the openSUSE system or the phone to pair
up. I have a blackbery and need to be at the system screen to connect
(as in pair) check the taskbar for a minimized popup.

Now it could be like my mouse, I have to sit there and rerun the scan
numerous (~20 times) for it to be visible via hcitool scan, then can
connect with the GUI.

The other option is to try this as root;


hcitool cc 4D:7F:FB:90:66:01

And see if it connects, run just the hcitool command with no options,
there are other options you can use, like inq.

I also did hcitool inq for 1 hour but all in vain.

Hi
It was hcitool scan, or is the above a typo? And bluetooth is on, on
your phone? Have you paired this phone before with another system or OS
and are you following the same process?

Same problem here, zaapa usb dongle, opensuse 11.4,
and no pairing with phone (I have followed the same steps on this thread).
On opensuse 11.3 worked without problem , on windows XP also ok.

It used to work with openSUSE 11.3.
Can`t it be solved?

Yes bluetooth is on and it is not being used by any device or process.

Hi, I have a symilar issue, When I plug my BLuetooth Dongle the bluedevil icon appears, but when I go to add a device, nothing happend, no light for dongle, no messages nothing.

When I run lsusb I have this:

Bus 005 Device 004: ID 0c10:0000

Is driver btusb loaded? What does ‘lsmod | grep btusb’ show?
