I have tried every suggestion I can find to get my Logitech bluetooth mouse to work. It worked fine in 12.3, but since the upgrade, nada.
It is registered but I get a “no supported services found” if I click on the icon on the task bar. It says it is connected and paired, but doesn’t work.
I have tried downgrading to bluez4, but still no success.
Any ideas on when support for bluez5 on KDE is forthcoming?
I am running into the same issue. I’ve tried a HP K4000 keyboard and a Razer Orochi mouse, I also tried trying another repo that had a newer version of bluez but that had acted the same. I was able to get my mouse to work by using a manual pin of 0000 to connect it and turning the bluetooth off and on to get it to see the mouse to work. I am unable to get the keyboard to work because it generates a dynamic pin that must be entered for it to work but all I get on the screen is a spinner and the number never shows. btw this never happened on 12.3.
I ran a tail -f command on /var/log/messages to see what was happening when I attempted to pair the keyboard and this is what comes up on both the Offical release from openSUSE (5.8) and the other repo with 5.12

I decided to change my approach to the problem. Office Max had a sale on a Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse reduced to $19.99, so I bought it. Out with bluetooth and in with usb wireless. It works great, and I wanted a different keyboard anyway. I’ll use the bluetooth mouse with my MacBook Pro.
I’m sure 13.1 will get the problem fixed soon, but the old MS mouse with a ball I hooked up in the interim was driving my wife crazy, so I just went the quick and easy route.
Seems to me that bluedevil 5 is well broken none of the distro’s want to talk about it and as far as I can see little work is being done on resolving the issues.
I tried couple of weeks ago to link a bluetooth headset. I had to use the CLI to pair the device because some of case conversion between the detection and pairing in the code making it impossible for one side to recognize the device ID from the other. After that trying to connect it with bluedevil got a crash. So yes, well broken it is.
I got bluetooth to work by installing suse-13.1-gnome and then adding the kde desktop afterward by using yast2, now my bluetooth headphones work flawlessly.
I’m not sure why it works though perhaps there has been an update to correct it for all I know. I’m not an expert on this and have been stumbling around for weeks trying to get it to work.
SUSE 13.1 has been really annoying on this and other issues.
Thank you!! doing this finally got my Logitech Mouse to work! actually I still had to select Connect from the Known Devices, but after that I can now use my T630
hmmm, after a day of use it seems like the connection is actually very glitchy. from the moment I initialize the connection, I get a segmentaiton fault error, every time
Application: Bluetooth Input Helper (bluedevil-input), signal: Segmentation fault
Using host libthread_db library "/lib64/libthread_db.so.1".
[KCrash Handler]
#5 0x00007f455219168b in BlueDevil::Device::UUIDs() () from /usr/lib64/libbluedevil.so.2
#6 0x0000000000404621 in _start ()
and about half the time the mouse becomes pretty unusable. scrolling doesn’t work, right click behaves like left click, etc.
Are you using KDE 4.11.x or KDE 4.12.x Repos?
I am using KDE 4.11.x with The KDE updates/additional software repo: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Extra/openSUSE_13.1/
When I pair a Bluetooth device though KCM-Bluetooth I receive a Knotify message asking me to confirm the generated pin.
I moved to the BlueTooth packages in this repo as they are newer and their are more than what is provided from the standard repo.
I have not tested BlueTooth with the KDE 4.12.x repos yet.
My bluetooth headphones would not connect until I installed bluedevil 2.0~rc1-16.5 from the KDE Extra repository at the link in the quote. All the other bluetoooth packages on my systems (13.1 KDE 4.11.5 , both 32-bit and 64-bit) are from the Main or Update repositories.
To get the headphones to work, I had to remove them from the bluetooth configuration and add (pair) them again. After removing and adding, the headphones work.
Regards,
Howard
