Description of problem: In Fedora 21 it was possible to run bluedevil-monolithic in XFCE and get an icon in the notification area. In Fedora 22 I get no icon. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): bluedevil-5.2.2-1.fc22.x86_64 xfce4-session-4.12.1-3.fc22.x86_64 xfce4-panel-4.12.0-3.fc22.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Fedora 22 with XFCE and bluedevil 2. Run bluedevil in XFCE Actual results: No icon If run from the terminal I get only: $ bluedevil-monolithic service is "org.kde.StatusNotifierItem-10298-1" Registering a client interface to the KStatusNotifierWatcher KStatusNotifierWatcher not reachable QSystemTrayIcon::setVisible: No Icon set QSystemTrayIcon::setVisible: No Icon set Expected results: Icon on the panel. Additional info:
Fwiw, the icon it uses is: preferences-system-bluetooth and preferences-system-bluetooth-inactive perhaps your icon theme doesn't provide those? do you have oxygen-icon-theme installed?
Fwiw, it looks like as of plasma-5.3 coming soon that the bluetooth systray applet may switch to using plasma natively (meaning it likely won't be functional outside of a plasma5 environment anymore).
I do: $ rpm -q oxygen-icon-theme oxygen-icon-theme-15.04.0-1.fc22.noarch I tried selecting the Oxygen icon theme in preferences, saw things change, restarted bluedevil-monolithic, and no difference, still no icon. That unfortunate, re: needing a plasma5 environment down the road. I think Xfce, MATE, and other non-Gnome/KDE environments have been leaning on bluedevil since blueman went away. On the plus side it looks like blueman is getting some love again and I was going to package up the new version before seeing at least a dependency or two also requiring update. Probably not too hard to get done regardless, but I'd love to see a supported package working.
Just confirmed bluedevil-5.3 indeed moves to a plasma5-native applet. See: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/bluedevil-5.3.0-1.fc22 marking CANTFIX, sorry.
Hey, it also does not work on fc21. I already have oxygen-icon-themes installed. What is the workaround, if any? If it is a dependecy rpm, should'nt it be added to bluedevil requirements?
As Rex explains it can't be fixed. You can use this blueman repo from COPR. It seems to work: https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/heikoada/blueman-git/
it can't be fixed for f22+ true, but f21 could possibly include workarounds like * possibly using a different icon available in more themes * include/use it's own icon put into hicolor theme anyone interested in that, please open a new/separate bug (this one was for f22)
It CAN be fixed, at least on fc21. After reading that it has been changed to use KDE Plasma, I installed LOTS of kde and plasma related packages, just for fun. And now, I can see the icon, perfectly. Anyway, I have opened a new bug, bug 1217573 Thanks.
