Blueman applet doesn't start

#1 Post by titanicus »

Hi,
I'm new in this forum.
As I wrote in subject, since a few months blueman bluetooth applet doesn't work any more.
Command lsmod | grep bluetooth returns:
---------------------------------
bluetooth 737280 33 btrtl,btintel,btbcm,bnep,btusb,rfcomm
ecdh_generic 16384 2 bluetooth
libaes 16384 3 bluetooth,aesni_intel,aes_generic
rfkill 28672 5 bluetooth,cfg80211
crc16 16384 2 bluetooth,ext4
---------------------------------

If I run blueman-applet from terminal it returns:
---------------------------------
blueman-applet version 2.1.4 starting
blueman-tray version 2.1.4 starting
Stale PID, overwriting
Terminating blueman-tray
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/blueman-applet", line 42, in <module>
BluemanApplet()
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/blueman/main/Applet.py", line 34, in __init__

raise LoadException("Not loading conflicting plugin %s due to lower priority" % cls.__name__)
blueman.main.PluginManager.LoadException: Not loading conflicting plugin NMPANSupport due to lower priority
---------------------------------
I tried to start blueman-tray separately, but nothing appears in the panel.

Any hints, please?
Thank you.

I've had the same problem with every laptop so far that uses the Intel iwifi driver. It always happens to me if Bluetooth was turned off via Blueman for a long time and especially when I resume from suspend. But not always. I've found one solution that works: powering down the laptop and leaving it off and unplugged for a few seconds, then turning it on again.

Restarting Bluetooth, the adapter module or blueman didn't work for me.

I haven't had time to find out if there's already a bug report for that.

It's an Intel wifi interface for me too, but that solution doesn't work.
Thank you.

I've found out that blueman-* runs only under sudo command. That's: if I run
$ sudo blueman-applet
it starts fine; it doesn't start i I run (as root)
# blueman-applet
or (as simple user)
$ blueman-applet

On a different PC with the same configuration (permissions and script in ~/.config/autostart) I do not have any problem, blueman-applet works like a charm.
Any hints?
