For comparison, here's the syslog fr0m my 14.04 install where it works:

There's no Plasma 5 widget or control panel for Bluetooth yet.

Code:

steve@x250:~$ [B]kcmshell5 --list |grep -i blue[/B]
kf5.kservice.sycoca: Trying to open ksycoca from "/home/steve/.cache/ksycoca5"

steve@x250:~$ [B]kcmshell4 --list |grep -i blue[/B]

bluedevildevices       - Manage Bluetooth devices
bluedeviltransfer      - Configure Bluetooth file sharing and transfers

That's for GNOME. I'd rather wait for the applet to get ported...

That's about what I figured, but wanted verification, thanks. I'll wait.

Guess that's what I get for being an early adopter...

If you type "Bluetooth" in the kmenu or kicker, you can configure bt and run whatever program provides the tray icon - which will appear. I'm at work and can't remember if the app is stll bluedevil or not. It's there but does not autostart, and is not present in system settings.

not so @here.

Code:

stuart@office:/mnt/samsung/@Kubuntu_14_04/var/log$ Bluetooth
Bluetooth: command not found
stuart@office:/mnt/samsung/@Kubuntu_14_04/var/log$ bluetooth
No command 'bluetooth' found, did you mean:
 Command 'bluetoothd' from package 'bluez' (main)
bluetooth: command not found
stuart@office:/mnt/samsung/@Kubuntu_14_04/var/log$

"Bluetooth" in Kmenu results in a blank stare... nothing in the menu relating to Bluetooth.

**oshunluvr** · May 28, 2015, 01:37 PM

Ahhh, If I run

kcmshell4 bluedeviladapters

I get an ibus error, but the program opens up. After setting the bluetooth device to "always visible" I get a tray icon.

This fails for me, too. I do have a /usr/bin/bluetooth, but this comes from the tlp power management package.

That's interesting. No ibus error here, because I purged all those packages. However, I never see any Bluetooth device entry added to the system tray.

**oshunluvr** · May 28, 2015, 02:11 PM

Odd. Here it's listed under Entries and is now visible...

Steve, how do you purge ibus? @Here, the 4 ibus packages are dependencies of bluedevil...

Remove these packages: inputattach, ibus-qt4, im-config, plasma-widget-kimpanel, libibus-1.0-5, libibus-qt1.

Where are you showing any Bluedevil-ibus dependencies? I'm not seeing any:

Code:

steve@x250:~$ [B]sudo apt-cache depends bluedevil[/B]

When I tried to remove ibus-qt4 (and others) it "offered" to remove bluedevil... using Muon. Here's the console result;

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:

**oshunluvr** · May 28, 2015, 03:13 PM

Well, I removed bluedevil, removed obexd-sever. then all the ibus stuff, then reinstalled bluedevil along with obex-data-server. I'll let you know what if anything changes.

Right now tho, I got J.T. playin' over my Bose Mini Soundbar and that boy sounds good, lol...

**SteveRiley** · May 28, 2015, 03:47 PM

Weird. Glad your Bluetooth is working. Wish I could figure out why it isn't here...

On your machine, what's the output of

Code:

dpkg -l | grep -i blu

Bluetooth - no systray icon? Another systray problem or???
