Description of problem: Connecting or disconnecting bluetooth headphones in KDE causes a segfault. Upstream indicates that bluez5 bluedevil is a broken branch and should not be used. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=325364 Perhaps this version should be backed out until upstream indicates that the product is ready for inclusion in distributions. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): bluedevil-2.0.0-0.4.20131015git.fc20.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Disconnect/connect bluetooth headphones 2.Segfault 3.Upstream says don't use the bluez5 branch of bluedevil Actual results: Segfault Expected results: Proper operation; headphones connect and disconnect properly. Additional info: Can be worked around by using the command-line bluetoothctl command
Backing this out now is impossible. When our Bluetooth maintainers asked upstream about BlueZ 5 support, he claimed that it'd be ready by the time Fedora 20 releases. Now, Fedora 20 has actually slipped by a few days, so it's even later than when we originally planned to release. Now that Fedora 20 has been released, it is way too late to downgrade the whole BlueZ stack (which affects all desktops, not just KDE). Such decisions have to be made well in advance of the release, and the story upstream told us back then was very different from what he's saying now.
Indeed, we're collaborating with upstream to resolve issues as soon as possible. In the meantime, I'd encourage you to try some newer builds: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/bluedevil
