[X86_64 Testing] Bluetooth in Gnome 3.10 status menu

I have a Dell E6500 laptop with bluetooth and would like to have bluetooth visible in the gnome 3.10 status menu as shown on the picture below.
Bluetooth is working just fine when i go to the settings menu but it is not shown in the status menu at all.
- Tried starting the bluetooth service at boottime with systemd.
- Tried pairing with a device first via the settings menu.
Still all i get is this.
Did anyone here get this working and/or does anyone have any suggestions as to why this might not be working ?

I really dont want to be a gravedigger, but it works if you do the bluetoothctl thingy (you know "power on" "agent on").
The only bluez app that does this automatically so far is bluedevil for kde.

  • [SOLVED] Extra Button in GNOME Status Menu

    Hello,
    I'm going to have to apologize right off the bat for this rather vague question, but I really don't have much to go on (yet). I've done a lot of Googling to try to figure this out but nothing has turned up so far.
    Now that that's out of the way, here's the problem:
    An extra button has shown up in my GNOME status menu. The image is a link to a (slightly) higher quality version. The button doesn't seem to do anything, except when I click it the icon changes to this:
    A second click restores the first icon, and the cycle repeats. I'm running GNOME 3.14, and the icon showed up a couple weeks back while I was having a DE install-fest and trying out Cinnamon and KDE. As far as I can tell, it showed up around the time I set those up, but that could also just be a coincidence. Now that that adventure is through, Cinnamon and KDE have been uninstalled and I've done my best to rm any remaining config files. My second Arch machine has no such button (and has only ever run GNOME). Honestly, it doesn't make any practical difference, so I ignored it at first, but its unexplained existence has come to disturb me.
    I've tried searching for others with a similar problem, looked at GNOME extentions that themselves add a button (such as https://github.com/arelange/gnome-shell … ate-status), and perused through the GNOME-shell source code in an attempt familarize myself with what was going on. I'm rather inexperienced with that sort of programming, so my endeavor was not as insightful as I had hoped. As a final act of desperation, I ran
    pacman -S gnome
    but of course, with no success. If anyone could point me in the right direction or offer suggestions, it would be very appreciated!

    Ahh, yes, I think you are right. In fact, my relatively old and bulky Acer 5742 does have an accelerometer (presumably for HDD shock protection?):
    $ cat /proc/bus/input/devices
    I: Bus=0019 Vendor=0000 Product=0000 Version=0000
    N: Name="Acer BMA150 accelerometer"
    P: Phys=wmi/input1
    S: Sysfs=/devices/virtual/input/input13
    U: Uniq=
    H: Handlers=event11 js0
    B: PROP=0
    B: EV=9
    B: ABS=7
    I checked and the bma150 module wasn't loaded, so I went ahead and loaded it and started waiving my 5.7lb laptop around like a madman. No screen rotation, and I'm not sure how to read the raw input from the device, but I'm sure there are a plethora of reasons GNOME might detect an accelerometer and put a button there even if it isn't designed for this sort of input or properly configured or supported. If that's the case, there's no need to figure out how to get rid of the button, but I am curious if other people have similar experiences or perhaps the opposite (you can see an accelerometer but no button) just for some level of certainty this is the correct explanation. For starters, my other machine that does not have the button also does not have an accelerometer listed in /proc/bus/input/devices.

  • Gnome 3.2 suspend with status menu: screen is not locked after wakeup

    Locking the screen with gnome-screensaver-command --lock or with the lock screen option from the status menu works fine.
    However, when the suspend from the status menu is used, although it does seem to go into lock mode before it suspends (the screen goes black and there is a little lock icon in to top corner), it never asks for a password after it wakes up. This happens on both my laptops with gnome3 by the way.
    The wiki article https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Gn … ter_resume tells me to use
    # gsettings set org.gnome.power-manager lock-use-screensaver 'false'
    But that key doesn't exist in gnome 3.2.
    Any ideas ?

    In the meantime I found the following:
    - When I suspend with the power button, the screen is locked, but not when I use the status menu option
    - This seems to be related to the screen setting 'Lock screen after'. I had it set to 1 minutes. When I change it to 'after the screen goes blank' the
      problem doesn't seem to occur.
    So, the way it looks now, it uses the same settings for delaying the locking the screen after the screensaver kicks in when locking the screen before suspend.
    Which doesn't make much sense. And then the behaviour is still inconsistent with the power button suspend.

  • How do I test bluetooth on emulator?

    I am trying to add bluetooth profile support and test bluetooth functionality on emulator as we don't have a test device with firefox OS 1.3 version.
    Does anyone know how to go about this issue?

    Hi bharatpawar,
    Thanks for working on Firefox OS. I don't know the answer to your question about bluetooth profile, but there are developer questions & answers on stackoverflow that might include the answer here (or maybe someone who can help you out):

  • I would like to delete an icon from the status menu bar, and then delete the remnants of an already deleted programme. Any help would be gladly appreciated.

    I have attempted to delate Comodo AV, from my iMac. I have achieved this to a degree, as when i search for "Comodo" on finder, nothing appears. However the icon still appears in the status menu bar at the top right of my screen. Comodo worked fine, until the upgrade to Mavericks. I contacted Comodo and they said there should be no problem with Comodo AV working in Mavericks. Clearley this wasn't the case. I deleted as much of the software as i could, but have been left with hidden traces of Comodo's presence.
    I there fore have two questions,
    How can i take the icon out of the status menu bar? I have tried app removers without any luck as according to finder there isnt any comoso on the mac. I have also tried to use the "cmd and drag" technique, but again nothing happens.
    How can i find the residue of Comodo on my hard drive if it is not showing up on any search?
    I would really like to resolve these issues and any support would be greatly received.
    thanks
    Tim

    Many thanks, Phil. I purchased the app you recomended, and following a bit of messing about, achieved both of my desired outcomes.
    For your information yes there was a quit option, but this only worked as long as i was logged in. Whenever i logged out and back in again it returned.
    thanks again,

  • Editing iChat status menu doesn't show in menubar icon

    Instead of having various status menu options ("surfing the web", "at home", "out to lunch", "in a meeting:", etc.) I prefer to edit the list down to just "available" and "away"
    When I edit the status menu from the buddy list drop down (by deleting the other options) my changes are reflected in the buddy list. However, the menubar icon still shows all of the preset options "surfing the web" etc.
    Does anyone else notice this? Is this expected behaviour?

    I later went into my com.apple.iChat.plist file and found two variables - "CustomAvailableMessages" and "CustomAwayMessages". After deleting all but the first blank line, they went away. (Make sure you make a backup!)
    I also deleted them from com.apple.iChat.StatusMessages.plist file.
    It was tricky, but I finally managed to get it so I only have available and away (in addition to the current iTunes song) as away messages in my menu bar. After I deleted the above, I had to go in and delete my custom edited away/available messages in the buddy list menu.
    MAKE SURE YOU MAKE A BACKUP OF THOSE FILES BEFORE YOU TINKER WITH THEM. You can use TextEdit I believe, but I use PlistEditPro to edit them.

  • Gnome, Nautilus / Pcman Main menu Opening Find File instead of Home

    Hi there,
    I am running two user, mine on Compiz-standalone with Pcman as it's lighter.
    The second user is using gnome and therefore need and want to keep using nautilus,
    The problem is when trying to open the Home folder from the Gnome main menu, a dialogue box "Find File" is opening instead of the Home folder by Nautilus.
    Now after searching the forum, I edited the /usr/share/applications/mime.cache
    However this hasn't change the problem, I try restarting the PC for the change to take effect but without success.
    Any suggestion on how to resolve this annoying bug?

    I am having the same issue, using regular Gnome with Nautilus. I started noticing it after the upgrade to Gnome 2.30. Clicking any of the top section buttons under the Gnome panel's "Places" menu brings up "Find Files" searching inside the folder, instead of Nautilus on the folder. Clicking on "Computer" actually does bring up Nautilus.

  • ALV List Missing Status Menu (Sorting, choose layout etc)

    I developed a report with ALV List display. When I display the ALV List, why my status menu (normally contains sorting, export to local, choose layout and other buttons) that will appear on top of the ALV report is missing?

  • How to I switch off / on the Status Time in the Airport Status menu

    Good Day
    I was wondering if anyone knows how to switch on / off the time that show in the Status menu of the Airport. I have a MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion that shows a connection time next to the Wifi, and this time is different to the system time which is correct.
    The time doesn't make sense as the airport was disconnected at the time. Only Ethernet was used. But now connection the WiFi to a network doesn't change this time.
    I just need to shed some light and I have tried System Preferences, going through the network, Time & Date, and various menus but I am not sure where to change this and the searches on the community seems to only bring "time" Capsule results..
    Many thanks and looking forward to to see what you have

    No, it's not possible.  You will have to acquire another copy of the book in your native language.  If you can't find it in the iBookstore, try one of the other stores that also provide free ereader apps, like Kindle, Nook, Kobo, Googlebooks, or Sony.

  • Remove CC icon from status menu bar OS X Yosemite

    How do I remove the Creative Cloud icon from the status menu bar in OS X Yosemite?
    Apple allows me to command+drag their icons as I wish, and I can also control them via System Preferences.
    Am I wrong, or is Adobe insisting on forcing this icon on my desktop?
    Shouldn't the user have the ability to control what is and isn't showing on their screen? I know where my apps are, and I want a clean menu bar.

    Hi Helpme2015,
    I believe you have only trashed Adobe products from Applications. There is a slightly different procedure to remove Adobe products from MAC but since you have trashed the Applications already, we would have to follow the lengthy way around to remove the Adobe products now. Please follow the below mentioned steps and suggest.
    1)      Delete all the Adobe folders available within /Library/Application Support/
    2)      Delete all the Adobe folders available within /Library/preferences
    3)      Delete all the Adobe folders available within ~/Library/Application Support/
    4)      Delete all the Adobe folders available within ~/Library/Preferences/
    5)      Delete files and programs from within Application & Utilities .

  • Airport Status Menu

    I have some wireless networks that keep showing up in the airport status menu bar. These are old wireless networks names that I do not use anymore. How do I delete them from the airport menu so that they will not show up there when I turn on airport.
    MACOSX 10.5.6
    Thanks in advance…

    I can delete the old network from the preferred network list but when ever I turn airport off then back on those networks reappear in the airport status menu again. One network name in particular that keeps showing up after I delete it is a network name called "TP-LINK". I recall using this network on my powerbook at a hotel that I stayed at several years ago. I just cannot permanently delete it. The other problem network names that I cannot get rid of, I recall are names from non-apple wireless cards that I had installed in the other mac's that where on my network. I no longer have these cards installed replaced them with apple compatiable wireless cards.

  • Gnome-shell-extension-places-menu

    Hello,
    I have some questions about the places menu.
    1. Is it possible to have it show an item that I have in my bookmarks which is to a samba share?
    smb://192.168.1.202/temp/ (named Temp)
    While that location is mounted, the item shows as a removable device. However, I would like to be able to mount the location from the places menu.
    2. Is it possible to show removable devices (such as usb flash drives) before they are mounted? (I don't automount my drives)
    3. Is it possible to see a newly added bookmark without restarting the shell? (or see removed bookmark go away)
    I guess I am asking if it is possible to have the places menu in the shell show the items that are in the "places" of nautilus.
    I have also played with the gnome-shell-extension-drives-menu. The description of the package describes that it can be used to mount and unmount removable media. How do I unmount without opening Nautilus?

    Thanks
    FYI gnome-shell needs to be restarted for changes to appear.
    Alt+F2 type 'r' and enter to restart it.
