I installed openSUSE 11 but bluetooth doesn’t seem to work. In the System->Monitor menu I can see kinputwizard, kbluemon so i guess everything is installed. The problem might be that my bluetooth adapter(built-in) isn’t enabled. How can I enable it and set it up correctly?
OK so I managed to get Bluetooth working, but now I have another problem. I can’t find where to change the laptop’s name, and other devices can’t see the laptop(the laptop can see other devices).

Hi
On my toshiba notebook, I have had to patch the kernel to get bluetooth
working.
Anything show in the dmesg output? or hcitool? Have you enabled the
services via YaST?
Maybe some info on the hardware would help as well
The service is enables, because the laptop discovers other devices, it doesn’t work the other way around though. I don’t have a bluetooth icon, in the system tray. I’m using KDE 4.
Bluetooth mostly works in kde4, but kbluetooth hasn’t been ported to kde4 yet, so it’s nowhere near integrated. In kde 3.5, kbluetooth is automatically started when a bluetooth device is detected, but not so in kde4.
Run kbluetooth from the command line and it’ll add the bluetooth icon to your panel. Right click on the icon, select Configuration > Adapters and you’ll be able to set the laptop to discoverable.
