Hi all,
Using BlueZ 4.46 and Gnome Bluetooth 2.27.8, the applet icon fails to
appear. If I pull the USB adapter out and in the icon appears, but with
a little red cross, and it isn't very functional.
Running the applet with -d (debug) I see nothing. Doing the USB adapter
out-in as well, I see:
Agent registration failed: Rejected send message, 2 matched rules;
type="method_call", sender=":1.12" (uid=1000 pid=1473
comm="bluetooth-applet -d ") interface="org.bluez.Adapter"
member="RegisterAgent" error name="(unset)" requested_reply=0
destination="org.bluez" (uid=0 pid=1100 comm="bluetoothd "))
I'm not sure when this stopped working, having got suitably confused
over whether to use bluez-gnome or gnome-bluetooth I've ended up using
neither for some time :) bluez-gnome doesn't work either though.
It looks dbus related, but that's a black art to me...
Cheers,
Dave

Damn! bluetooth-applet has magically started working after reinstalling
2.27.8 and 4.26 (and various restarts of, E.g. dbus, hald). That's just
mysterious. Well... never mind.

I've tried rolling back BlueZ as far back as 4.26, and gnome-bluetooth
back to 2.27.6, but no change. I guess the problem is related to some
other update - maybe something to do with fallout from the dbus
"permissive" security issue (I'm using dbus-1.2.4.2permissive at the
moment).
I guess I'll need to track it down myself... Any helpful advice on
where I should look is most welcome though :)

BlueZ 4.46
If I run "dbus-monitor --system" I get this (and only this) immediately
every time I start bluetooth-applet:
signal sender=org.freedesktop.DBus -> dest=(null destination)
path=/org/freedesktop/DBus; interface=org.freedesktop.DBus;
member=NameOwnerChanged
string ":1.16"
string ""
string ":1.16"
... and I get a similar message when I ctrl-C the applet, except the
last two string values reverse. Presumably establishing/disestablishing
a dbussy relationship between the applet and... something...

I retract this :) bluez-gnome has fallen off BlueZ's front page now,
and it isn't referred to on the download page, so the confusion looks
like it's in the past now...
Whilst I've got you... msgfmt is a bit of a black art to me too so I'm
not sure this is right, but I needed to make this change to get
gnome-bluetooth 2.27.8 to build.

Do you have blueman, or the applet from bluez-gnome running?
Looks like D-Bus is refusing the connection, which version of bluez are
you using?

Which web pages?

Yes, and otherwise functional. For example, I'm sending this reply over
a bluetooth GPRS connection, and at the same time can see the
non-functional bluetooth-applet icon with the little red/white cross.
Running bluetoothd in debug mode didn't seem to display any useful
information relating to the applet.

Well that clears that up :) But it isn't that obvious from the state of
the various web pages.

I'm not sure what confusion there should be. Use gnome-bluetooth.
