 |
|
| I've tried putting the USE flag bluetooth in my make.conf file, I've tried putting it in package.use for just kdeconnect, and I've tried prefixing emerge with USE="${USE} bluetooth". Nothing works! |

Per Guidelines item #4, you should show us the command you ran and its full output. If I had to guess from what you wrote, and what I see on my system, you are being blocked by the flag being USE-masked out. If so, then the next step is to consult the use.mask and package.use.mask files to see why it is blocked. There, we find: | profiles/base/package.use.mask: | # Sam James <sam@gentoo.org> (2024-03-07)
# The bluetooth feature is unstable for now (causes timeouts if no dbus adapter
# is available).
# https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/distributions/2024-March/001481.html
>=kde-misc/kdeconnect-24.02.0 bluetooth
|
Thus, it was deliberately blocked because of known problems. |

What does "works" mean for you?
Please tell us more of what you're doing, why you're doing it (as what you expect to happen) and show us the complete commands you're running and files/snippets with your settings.
Best Regards,

I was trying to emerge kdeconnect with USE flag bluetooth enabled.
The first guy who responded pointed out that the bluetooth feature is actually unstable, and so it is masked in my profile. |

Similar notes about instability are in the app too, however this is Gentoo, so | /etc/portage/profile/package.use.mask/kdeconnect: | | kde-misc/kdeconnect -bluetooth |
will let you test the unstable kdeconnect and see if it works for you. I'd quickpkg kdeconnect first, so if you have to revert there is no compiling to be done - just delete /etc/portage/profile/package.use.mask/kdeconnect then emerge -K kdeconnect and it's like it never happened  |
