Hi,

When I upgrade pygobject to 2.19, blueman still doesnt work. Besides, it make wicd cannot start and work. So I must return to pygobject 2.16.

May I use kdebluetooth for Slack12.2 (http://slackbuilds.org/repository/12.../kdebluetooth/) on Slack 13? Why have no kdebluetooth or kbluetooth for Slackware 13 on SlackBuilds.org?

Is there someone use kbluetooth 0.4.2 (http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show...ntent=112110)? Does it work well and stable?

Hope for help. Thanks.

You probably have to upgrade to the same versions of gtk/glib etc. as I have..

kdebluetoothXX is crap.

Here is a summary of additional packages on my system:

After upgrade glib2, gtk+2, pygtk, pygobject, I run blueman-applet, then it still shows many exceptions with DBus, mostly as the same

Code:

DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied: Rejected send message, 2 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.29" (uid=1000 pid=4219 comm="/usr/bin/python /usr/bin/blueman-applet ") interface="org.bluez.Manager" member="ListAdapters" error name="(unset)" requested_reply=0 destination="org.bluez" (uid=0 pid=3726 comm="/usr/sbin/bluetoothd -d "))

I have searched but still not found any solution.

Well, I don't know.. below are some ideas..

Try to run bluetoothd in a shell and check the output..
bluetoothd -nd

Do you have these:
notify-python
libnotify

Groups correct? Compare with my system:
user1@localhost:/mnt/data/user1$ groups
users sys disk lp audio video cdrom slocate messagebus plugdev power netdev scanner

D-bus config correct? Compare with my system:

cat /etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.blueman.Mechanism.conf

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- -*- XML -*- -->

Well, I did it!

It's seem permission problem. After add me to necessary groups with

Code:

root@latix:/home/tridc# usermod -G users,floppy,audio,video,cdrom,plugdev,power,netdev,sambashare,lp,messagebus,sys,disk,slocate tridc

and restart machine, BT icon applet appears at the system tray.

Does it need to add me to many groups like that (lp,messagebus,sys,disk,slocate)? I think only some groups is enough, maybe that make many securities issues.

How can I turn off BT LED? "Turn Bluetooth Off" of blueman-applet seem not working.

Thank you very much.

Glad to hear it works!

I don't think you can turn of bluetooth from blueman.

So, are there command or config files to turn off BT LED? It's always on, consumes amount battery power, that wastes the resources.

Hope for answers.

Problem again,

After upgrading some packages included gtk from 2.14.7 to 2.17.11, SCIM doesn't work with OpenOffice, firefox, pidgin, .. So I turn back with 2.14.7. And this is the old error:

Code:

__load_plugin (/usr/bin/blueman-applet:172)

loading <class 'blueman.plugins.applet.StatusIcon.StatusIcon'>

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/blueman/plugins/AppletPlugin.py", line 96, in _load

    self.props.tooltip_markup = s[:-1]

_________

__load_plugin (/usr/bin/blueman-applet:172)

Failed to load StatusIcon

'gobject.GProps' object has no attribute 'tooltip_markup'

Seem I know that blueman cannot start because of gtk. On the blueman's download page, gtk just need >= 2.14, but here a man compile gtk 2.18 and blueman works well. I don't think I need to upgrade to 2.18.

Are there someone use Slackware 13 and blueman on laptop without having problem with SCIM? If has, please tell me gtk version you are using.
