I use Fedora 14. When I upgraded kbluetooth, it automatically replaced kbluetooth with bluedevil.

Now the problem is that bluedevil finds my bluetooth keyboard and mouse. When I select the device and click next, it stays on connecting your device window forever. With the keyboard, the window displays a message saying that it will generate a pin to type on the keyboard, which it doesn’t even after an hour.

kbluetooth used to work like magic in finding and connecting to the device. I couldn’t downgrade to kbluetooth using yum.

Any help will be much appreciated. The mouse is logitech v470.

Are you sure that you’re setting the keyboard at visibility mode?

Can you open a bug at http://bugs.kde.org so we keep track of the issue? also provide the terminal output of the bluedevil-wizard.

Thanks!

I followed your instructions and I was partially successful… I managed to pair my mouse (microsoft optical desktop elite) and my nokia n900, but when I try to pair my keyboard (also desktop elite) it doent show me the PIN to enter…and just hangs in there forever… if I try to do it by console using hidd –search it shows me the MAC address and tries to connect but then says can’t get device information software caused connection abort.. and thats it :S how can I fix that? Im running kubuntu 11.04

Are you using libbluedevil 1.9?

If not, try to wait a few days until Kubuntu 11.04 comes out

In 1.1 you will be able to set “Accept all files from trusted devices”, is that enough?

The popup is quite cluttered… I’m not sure if adding another button there is the right thing to do.

Thank you for BlueDevil. It helped me in kubuntu.
I have a suggestion too:
when I try to send multiple files (e.g. from my cell phone) to my notebook it asks me to confirm each file’s transfer. While it can be just a “accept all” or “accept for next N minutes” etc.

Thank you

Thank you for all your work – do you know of any application specific user manuals for using blueDevil? I am using it in Kubuntu 10.10 (a default install) but I cannot find any information on using console commands for blueDevil, since the GUI does not provide enough options for me. If you could post a URL for -user- documentation that would be very helpful.

Muchas gracias porPor fin una utilidad BT para KDE4 que funciona, .
Muchas gracias por su trabajo, Sr. Fiestas. Y si se me permite una sugerencia Bluedevil sería la la leche si pudiese hacer un par de cosas más:
– Reconocer un teléfono como “pinganillo” y desviar una conversación del teléfono al ordenador y viceversa, p. e. con un mensajero como Pidgin, Emesene, etc, o simplemente para usarlo como grabadora o micrófono (para Naturally Speaking vía Wine vendría de perlas -NS reconoce sorprendentemente bien la voz grabada con teléfonos Nokia, ignoro si con otros también-)

– Reconocer la cámara de un teléfono para usarla como cámara web.

Saludos, y de nuevo, gracias por el trabajo realizado.

WOW! It’s **IMPRESSIVE**, I love your work, every time I used KBluetooth I thought it was wrong and ugly, BlueDevil is sexy and seems already to work better. Can’t wait to see in Kubuntu

PS: And I love to see OGG/Theora videos in HTML5 video tags

Can you change the videos, so that it doesn’t start downloading automatically? Like this site:
