please help me to install dell 365 bluetooth module software in opensue 11.4 OS
my laptop is dell inspiron 1440…
bluetooth is working fine in windows 7 home basic…
It was automatically installed for me.
Okay, I’ll take that back. On the milestone 5 (12.1 beta) system that I just installed from the KDE live CD (64 bit), it was not automatically installed. I’m guessing that there wasn’t space on the CD for it to fit. So I went into yast software management, selected “patterns”, selected “KDE” and looked at what was part of KDE but not installed. I found bluedevil, and installed that.
If you are using gnome, it will be different user level software for the gnome environment. An alternative would be to select “search” on the yast software manager, and search for “blue”. Then select what seems to be the gnome user level component. System components should be automatically brought in by the yast installer, depending on what the user level component needs.
It is still not working…
using

That’s 12.1 Milestone 5, 64 bit (beta release).
Running Yast software manager, and searching for “blue”, I find the following are installed:
bluedevil
bluedevil-lang
bluez
bluez-firmware
libbluedevil1
libbluetooth3
pulseaudio-module-bluetooth
I’m pretty sure that I only installed bluedevil, and the rest were automatically installed to handle dependencies.
If you use FnF2 to disable wireless, then that also disables bluetooth on my Dell. You might try hitting FnF2 to see if that does anything, although I think the device would be recognized even if disabled.
A useful tool to report your bluetooth (and other wireless device) status is rfkill. You may need to install it first with
zypper in rfkill
For reference, I get
# rfkill list
0: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
1: hp-bluetooth: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
3: hp-wwan: Wireless WAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
14: hci0: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
If your bluetooth device is ‘hard blocked’, then this is usually due to a switch on the laptop. If its just ‘soft blocked’ then you issue something like
rfkill unblock 14
actually i have two operating system installed in my computer but my problem is that if I turn the bluetooth off in windows 7 and after that when i use opensuse 11.4 kde 4 then suse is not able to determine bluetooth… but if the bluetooth is turned on windows 7 then it is also recognized by open suse… so I want to eliminate this problem and want to know why this happened…??
for information my BIOS setting is remain unchanged in both the cases…
my OS’s are:
1> windows 7 home basic (64 bit)
2> opensue 11.4 kde 4 (32bit)
If I turn off bluetooth with FnF2 in Windows, then it remains off in opensuse. I can turn it back on with FnF2 in opensuse. That also affects WiFi.
I have not tried turning it off in other ways in Windows. It might be that the ways of turning off bluetooth actually set something in the card, so are seen by all systems.
If you have a bluetooth device that you only want to use in opensuse, but not in windows, then try removing that device from the Windows bluetooth configuration.
I tried to do this… If I remove bluetooth configuration from windows then it is not detetcting…
Did you install rfkill yet?
