hello, just updating my original bug report. i now have bluetooth working under kubuntu intrepid (8.10) i can pair devices and move files between them, and so far i havent run into any problems.
however im not using the kde bluetooth packages, i have been trying to get it to work for a while and had no luck, so i tried compiling myself, and didnt get any where, so i removed all the bluetooth related stuff from my system, then after reading a few items online i found a solution (on launchpad actually - bug report - Bug #280997:) after reading through until about halfway down i found some one had done this - Niels Ganser wrote on 2008-10-25: (permalink) Scott, I just aptitude installed bluez-gnome and ran bluetooth-applet. Worked out of the box for me. so i tried it and it worked, it may not be ideal but it does work (well it did for me) it might be an idea to remove any bluetooth packages first before trying it, and you will also need the bluetooth file sharing application which can be installed using add/remove programs. so if any one hasnt already tried this, give it a go and see if it works. -- no bluetooth after kernel update to 2.6.27-7-generic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/281949 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
