I already have "blueman"...Tank you Leho!<br /><br />I already have "blueman" in the code and since 1.23 the icon appears in the system tray nicely but it does not show the actual BT state: the icon at version 1.21 used to show a red cross on it when the BT was turned off. Now it is always the same blue icon. It is not a big deal but i liked this feature before as I could always see if I left my BT antenna turned on by accident.György Ráthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00652775763604737279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4907337868224969264.post-66119339932123706902012-01-28T10:07:15.262-08:002012-01-28T10:07:15.262-08:00plugins/applet/StatusIcon.py#L169 needs to say &qu...plugins/applet/StatusIcon.py#L169 needs to say "blueman" not "blueman-tray". there is no such icon as blueman-tray installed with 1.23. there's another instance of "blueman-tray" in the code but it's just a default for the custom icon setting and seems to be irrelevant.Leho Kraavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06493773501631079991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4907337868224969264.post-11555917887785789872012-01-03T14:37:09.292-08:002012-01-03T14:37:09.292-08:00A workaround for half of the problems:
under /etc/...A workaround for half of the problems:<br />under /etc/bluetooth/main.conf I changed these parameters:<br />InitiallyPowered = false<br />RememberPowered = false<br /><br />After this my computer always starts with BT disabled. This is acceptable for me because I rarely use bluetooth and in those cases I switch it on manually under blueman's menu.<br /><br />Unfortunately my blueman icon still does not show the state, it is always the same blue BT icon. But I recognised that the tooltip shows the actual state.György Ráthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00652775763604737279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4907337868224969264.post-84794923462063223832011-12-03T11:07:27.285-08:002011-12-03T11:07:27.285-08:00This week Blueman 1.23-1 appeared and then today 1...This week Blueman 1.23-1 appeared and then today 1.23-2 is also out! After any of these latest upgrades I have a status icon but I see two issues that makes the bluetooth indicator even worse than before:<br /><br />1. Although the status indicator is there (a nice blue icon as before) it is always the same, it does not show if BT is active or inactive. <br /><br />2. The bluetooth setting does not save its state: swithching BT off and rebooting my machine results an active BT again. I can do anything, the next reboot will switch BT on.<br /><br />So now, after the upgrade I cannot see the current BT status, neither can I be sure if my BT antenna remains switched off if I leave it like that, leading to a serious battery drainage in the background.<br /><br />Wierd! Or do I make something wrong? I go back to 1.21 again...György Ráthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00652775763604737279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4907337868224969264.post-39629414958137110422011-11-24T00:52:09.354-08:002011-11-24T00:52:09.354-08:00The bug is reported at https://bugs.archlinux.org/...The bug is reported at https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/26462 <br /><br />While I wait for the fix I use version 1.21 and placed a line to my /etc/pacman.conf to ignore the blueman package on upgrades:<br /><br />IgnorePkg = bluemanGyörgy Ráthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00652775763604737279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4907337868224969264.post-77702063259982391842011-11-23T17:47:23.800-08:002011-11-23T17:47:23.800-08:00any updates on this?any updates on this?Дамјанhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06900416569571265576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4907337868224969264.post-27515770460947313842011-10-25T00:06:21.131-07:002011-10-25T00:06:21.131-07:00I got this problem, too.

At the moment I try to analyze it and have come to the point, where blueman tries to get access to index.theme files As it doesn't find them it uses the 'icon-missing'. What I shall try is to generate an index.theme and find out what will happen ;-) .<br /><br />Stephanwaldbaer59https://www.blogger.com/profile/07205424644876231945noreply@blogger.com
