#1

hi
i just installed opensuse 11.4 kde with livecd and my bluetooth is not working…
i have monolith icon in system tray but it says no device is founded, which also bluetooth manager in control center says…
and here is the report of “lsmod | grep blue”:

**bluetooth 93477 0
rfkill 17734 3 bluetooth,cfg80211,hp_wmi
**

it seems no bluetooth module is loaded… what should i do now?
i had no problem with bluetooth in ubuntu(10.04 or 10.10)
thx

  • thelastblack,

is there a hardware switch or Fn key to toggle Bluetooth?

i found out the problem
when i turn off my bluetooth in ubuntu(or gnome- more specificly) using its menu when my switch is on, i cant access it in other OSes, even windows!
now i have GNOME3 live of opesSUSE and bluetooth works!
i dont know whether it is a hardware issue or a software one but it is fixed now
thx
