KDE Bluetooth issues

Bluetooth works fine in regular Fedora 11 Beta, but it doesn't work at all in Fedora KDE Beta using kdebluetooth4. I believe it's a Fedora KDE issue and not a KDE 4.2 issue because my bluetooth works fine under Kubuntu 9.4 with KDE 4.2.

GPG Key Issues

I'm trying to install xine-lib-extras, but I get a GPG Key error.

I tried to solve it by doing this:

[root@localhost dsparil]# rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG*
error: /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora: import read failed(-1).
error: /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-10-primary: import failed.

error: /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-x86_64: import read failed(-1).


That did not help me fix this issue.


WiFi Password

My password to my wifi does not save, and I have to keep typing the WPA key every time I log in (I have auto connect checked).

I hope this helps.

Can you be a bit more specific on the first two issues? What exactly happens with Bluetooth? What do you try to do? How does it fail?

On the key issue, what's the error you're seeing?

Wifi thing is known, I believe - it's a consequence of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=473827

For Bluetooth, Kdebluetooth4 doesn't do anything. The tray icon appears after I run it, but it looks weird(too big, so part of the icon is hidden). I try to right-click it, click it, and it's just hanged. Like I said, in the Gnome version of Fedora, Bluetooth works with no problem, so it's a Fedora KDE issue(Kdebluetooth4 works fine in Kubuntu). What I'm ultimately trying to do is install my Bluetooth mouse.

The GPG key issue is when I try to install some files from the repositories (example, xine-lib-extras), KPackagekit reports that the key to download that package isn't valid.


I hope this helps.

Not sure the wifi issue is due to having NetworkManager-gnome and kde-plasma-networkmanagement installed at the same time. I was running F11 Alpha KDE without kde-plasma-networkmanagement, and only using NetworkManager-gnome without issue. After the update to F11 Beta, I suffer the same issues with keys and passwords not being saved. I tried removing NetworkManager-gnome, installing kde-plasma-networkmanagement, but kde-plasma-networkmanagement has a set of issues in itself such as no tray icon and defaults to passphrase no matter what.

After this failure I removed the packages, grabbed the Alpha version of NetworkManager* from koji, tested with same results. I'm still hashing this out. I'll keep this updated if I figure anything out.

Also... KDE is very slow...
