I feel properties of listed devices should be shown using an icon / visual indication that further configuration / settings are available. Not very apparent that further popup window

is available

For Eg: Wi-fi Network settings shows clearly with settings icon...

I am not sure if Matt is going to post here, but I just saw and was talking to Matthew Moore about what he showed in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1usNYW8G0M where things are getting paired WITHOUT authorization.

I am guessing that other distros that use Cinnammon will use this BT manager by default too, so this may effect more than just Mint.

I use Bluetooth headphones and have to change sound parameters manually each time I connect then (sometimes several times an hour). It would be great feature to make some white list of trusted A2DP devices to enable them as main output source at the moment of connection. User experience should be equal to wired headphones: you plug them to socket and start listening.

Greetings, I like the work you're doing on this tool so you can bring Bluetooth support on some other OS with gnome-bluetooth >= 3.14.

My question is that if you can give some instructions on how to compile this program on ArchLinux, I was watching this page (http://segfault.linuxmint.com/2013/10/how-to-build-and-install-the-latest-cinnamon-from-git/) but the instructions are for Debian/Ubuntu mainly and I would like to know if there is a generic way to do this. I'm planning on installing Arch at the end of this month (if everything goes ok) and, as you may know, cinnamon-bluetooth no longer works there but I believe that this tool can make a great job

I don't know if this is supposed to be considered an issue but I'll leave it here just in case. Greetings

I'm unable to receive files with blueberry. "Receive file" switch doesn't work in cinnamon-settings.
Blueberry command displays in the terminal :

I had paired my OnePlus X phone a while back, and the application worked like a charm. After that instance however, it has never worked. On clicking 'Connection', the button moves back to OFF every time.
On clicking, 'Remove Device', it gives a confirmation, after clicking yes, the device is still there.

The first time I was able to pair my phone. After it stopped working, I unpaired my PC from the phone, and am unable to initiate a pair from the phone anymore. I think this is due to Blueberry still detecting that I'm paired or something like that.
I am unable to find the version number. Using LMint Serena, kernel 4.4.0-78

There is something that looks like a hardcoded string for "Bastien's computer" as a hostname as visible in bluetooth. That is not the case, and may confuse users. I think this appears after a crash / some issue in bluetooth service.

I have a bluetooth speaker which, when set up to be visible, never appears in the Devices list in blueberry, even after power cycling bluetooth, etc. Also, the spinner on the Devices list is frozen (see #40).

This speaker works fine with blueman. So blueberry or one of its dependencies has a bug.

Output of 'lspci -nnk | grep -iA3 net; lsusb; rfkill list; dmesg | egrep -i 'blue|firm'' can be seen at https://gist.github.com/deutrino/30ace66b426261090b78a6588127b558

The spinner icon next to "Devices" is permanently frozen. I have no idea if this is just a display bug or something else, but it certainly gives the impression that something is broken (which it often is).

Looks like this could use some more documentation (some screenshots would be nice too!)

For myself, looks like a nice GUI for using bluetooth in a non-gnome, non-kde environment. I'd like to package this for NixOS if it seems worth my while!

I can send files from my laptop to my smartphone, but I can't send files from my smartphone to my laptop. I am using Manjaro Cinnamon.

On my smartphone, I get the following error message: "he Transfer is Forbidden by the target device", even if the "Receive files from remote devices" option in Blueberry is clearly enabled.

On my laptop, there is no visible symptom at first glance. However, if I do a systemctl status bluetooth.service, I see this error when a file transfer from my smartphone to my laptop fails: bluetoothd[502]: Unable to get io data for Object Push: getpeername: Transport endpoint is not connected (107).

Am I missing something? Is there something misconfigured on my distro?

My workaround is simply to uninstall Blueberry and install Blueman instead, unfortunately. With Blueman, I can transfer files from smartphone to laptop without issue once I accepted to receive files from trusted devices. 🙁

I see that there is a similar issue here, but I did not notice the same kind of symptom though (although I haven't tried to run Blueberry with the terminal, like the guy did in the other issue). That's why I decided to create a new issue despite having a similar problem.

I'm not sure if this is a bluetooth issue, or a sound applet issue, but I'm filing it in bluetooth for mainly one reason:

issue : when I try to connect my linux mint laptop to my soundsport headphones, it used to connect very easily, and be functional, however right now, when I'm trying to do that, even after the bluetooth module shows it as connected, the sound module does not show the new output device.
Moreover, the bluetooth device usually responds saying it connected with "x" device, however in this case, it seems like the laptop name isn't going through to the bluetooth device either, which makes me think there's some issue with the connection.

Willing to give any information you need. Would love it if this can be looked into

I'm using Linux mint 18.3 on an XPS 9350, using Bose soundsport headphones on kernel 4.13.0-45

I think this is a blueberry error. Given that there is more than one bluetooth backend, and more than one frontend, and the interface seems not to tell you which it is using - see screenshot - it is hard to tell.

If this problem does pertain to blueberry then, in addition to fixing it, it would be a good idea to put the word 'blueberry' in the interface somewhere - somewhere prominent.

Here's a screenshot of the packages I have installed.

Hello.
Bought a mouse, which has several connections ways - via Bluetooth or USB (radio channel).
It's Rapoo M100 Silent.

I connect it through Blueman or standard system Cinnamon's bluetooth applet - all works.
Reboot system - all works.

When mouse goes to power saving mode (disconnects), and after you press something on it - it connects again.
Mint's bluetooth applet shows it's connected again, mouse's indicator shows the same.
But cursor isn't moved, mouse doesn't work.

Same issue for Blueman: blueman-project/blueman#994
(also tried it to work with a mouse)

On Macbook Pro 2017 system it works as expected.

Not sure it's related to Blueman, but I decided to leave issue here anyway, it's an additional info.
Also will create issue on Mint bugtracker, and will provide link to it here and vice versa.

If you'll need any additional info, or you'd like to test something - you can use my machine remotely.
Control laptop via TeamViewer and ask me to move\connect mouse via Telegram, for example.

Thank you.

can not turn off visibility

more of a bluetooth on/off than a configuration tool

I have one use case for blueberry, and it's probably the main use case for almost every other user.

Connect to a speaker and play sound.

Here's the current steps:

1. run 'bluetooth'
2. see speaker in list
3. open details dialog
4. click on
5. Wait for spinny thing
6. click sound settings
7. click speaker in list
8. Close 3 windows

It would be awesome if anyone could:

1. run bluetooth
2. see speaker in list
3. because it's a speaker there's a "Play sound" button. Click and it does 4-8

If it's not a speaker, then a "Connect" button would be apropos.

Anyways, thanks! I use what you made and appreciate it :-)

I cannot manage to make my Logitech Triathlon M720 mouse work. However, that may be because of (i) its poor instructions, (ii) Blueberry's poor interface. On ii, please see #61.

Issue

Turn off bluetooth using either menu-preferences-bluetooth or the bluetooth panel icon also turns off wifi. Wifi will not reconnect even after a reboot.

Steps to reproduce

Turn on bluetooth, then see above under "Issue"

Expected behaviour

Bluetooth turns off normally, wifi continues to work

Other information

I can disable wireless without it disabling bluetooth, i.e. clicking on the wireless panel icon (or menu-preferences-network-wifi) and turning it off does not turn off the bluetooth.

Once the bluetooth (and wireless) are disabled via the bluetooth panel icon or menu-preferences-bluetooth, I cannot use the wireless panel icon (or menu-preferences-network-wifi) to turn wireless back on. It remains stuck in the off position despite clicking the icon to turn it on. The only way to get wireless functionality back is to turn bluetooth back on.

This is not an issue in Windows running the same system.

Hi, I upgraded mint 17->18. There was no bluetooth config app, so I installed blueberry (found on a blog).

It says my computer is available for file transfers. I really really don't want that because of security issues.

How can I become invisible, and unavailable for blue tooth file transfers?

I tried this, but blueberry seems to always make my laptop discoverable:

☀  bt-adapter --set Discoverable 0
Discoverable: 1 -> 0
☀  bt-adapter --set Discoverable 0
Discoverable: 0 -> 0
☀  blueberry   && echo "Ok"
Ok
☀  bt-adapter --set Discoverable 0
Discoverable: 1 -> 0

I don't want, that the bluetooth is enabled every time I boot the system.
There is no option to set change this behaviour.

I want a "Turn on at startup"-option, which I can disable.

Hi. I already post this in Redhat bugZilla due to the fact I'm on Fedora 24 Cinnamon edition. Today, just few minutes ago, I received new bluetooth packages update but bug is still without fix. For that I decided to post it here:

Description of problem:
I like to prevent bluetooth from switched ON on reboot from by bluetooth applet (blueman bluetooth manager) but I can not !

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Click on "Turn Bluetooth OFF" from list menu of bluetooth applet (blueman bluetooth manager) see screenshot 1. This will turn OFF bluetooth O.K during current session.
2. reboot PC

Actual results:
After reboot laptop, bluetooth reswitched ON automatically

Expected results:
Bluetooth remain switched OFF (Turn Bluetooth OFF of blueman bluetooth manager from previous boot remain effective on new boot)

Additional info:
Before recent updates for blueman which led to appearance of 2 bluetooth icons in panel), I was able to disable bluetooth from switch ON automatically each time launching or reboot my laptop by the following: system setting, Startup Applications, then disable bluetooth start. At that time doing so will prevent bluetooth will never load automatically at start up BUT I WAS STILL BE ABLE TO SWITCH BLUETOOTH ON AGAIN FROM SYSTEM SETTING. Now this is not possible: I should "Turn bluetooth OFF" from list menu of icon of blueman bluetooth manager then disable blueman bluetooth manager from startup application & this will prevent bluetooth from reswitched ON again on next boot BUT I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO SWITCH ON BLUETOOTH AGAIN UNLESS BY CLICK ON "QUIT" FROM WITHIN ICON OF BLUETOOTH WHICH IS ALREADY SWITCHED OFF THEN ENABLE BLUEMAN ON STARTUP THEN REBOOT LAPTOP AGAIN !!!!

This is regression. Please fix this kindly.

Hi,

I have a barcode scanner that has an 8 digit pin when factory defaulted.
I can't seem to enter more than 6 digits in the blueberry pair password dialogue.

I can pair with bluetoothctl and then blueberry and the scanner works fine after.

In my notebook I don't have a Bluetooth adapter (or driver — I don't know).
When I launched Blueberry was turn It on very slow.

I attach screenshot when I start blueberry by terminal.
'Things' which blueberry do above red line take a long while (20-30 seconds).

When I start blueberry, I get:

Mint 18.3 x64 Cinnamon - fresh install. Computer: Dell Precisions T1650. Kernel: 4.15.

It seems to me that the following window can easily leave the user wondering whether his/her Bluetooth device can now be used. For the devices spinner is still spinning and aside from the word 'connected' there's no no indication that all is ready to go. Or perhaps I find this unclear only because I've had such a struggle to get things working (which they still aren't, even though 'pairing' does seem to have been established).

Hello

Blueberry applet features (Cinnamon applet not blueberry-tray) aren't as complete as the old bluetooth applet in linux mint 16 or 17.

Currently the blueberry applet is just a 'link' to the bluetooth settings.

Is it possible to add more features : a switch to quickly connect/disconnect bluetooth, a submenu for the paired devices ... ?

I made this mockup for more precision.

Thank you :)

Experimentation seems to show that the 'confirm' button that shows when pairing needs to be pressed before one enters the code on the non-Mint device that is to be paired. It seems to me that this can and should be made clearer to users.

I use bluetooth for my headset only. Don't need (want) the icon. Only need the service.

Hi there, on Blueberry 1.0.9 in Manjaro (Arch derivative), Blueberry claims that my computer is visible as "Bastien's computer". No idea where it got that name from, and furthermore it's wrong, my computer is visible via bluetooth as "T530".

(1) Please see the screenshot immediately below. It seems to me unclear what is being shown and what action - if any - is being solicited from the user.

I read the word 'connected'; but I see also the 'spinner' . . Also, I was surprised to discover that the horizontal bar is clickable, although I did not understand what action I had initiated when I did click it.

(2) Again please see the screenshot immediately below. Once more, it seems to me unclear what is being shown and what action is being solicited from the user.

Is one to understand that the device is paired but - given the greying-out - not connected? If so, what should one do?

Mint 18.3.

As of now I get a notification for every file I want to send from my phone to my computer.

The notifications are nice and especially if someone other than myself tried to send a file to my computer I would like to know. But for multiple files from a trusted device this becomes a tedious process.

Question: Can I mark my phone as trusted and auto-accept all files sent from it or to it?

Thanks!

The systray icon is originally full colour, Turning bluetooth off greys it out. Turn it back on and it stays greyed out.

[Moved here from https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon/issues/5620 because the project members there were too lazy to do do, say as a "thanks" for my time to file the bug report]

Is it possible to be more specific about the detected Bluetooth devices? Maybe at least display the manufacturer based on the first three bytes of the MAC address?

Or display the MAC, even if cryptic, because the user might recognize one or two bytes from somewhere else where they might have seen it while pairing (e.g. in a car).

This is a copy of the issue from linuxmint/cinnamon as this may be a Blueberry issue and not a Cinnamon issue per se.

 * Cinnamon version (3.6.7)
 * Distribution - (Mint 18.3 Debian)
 * Graphics hardware *and* driver used: Nvidia-390 390.25-0ubuntu0-gpu16.04.1 NVIDIA binary driver version 390.25
 * 64 bit Intel Core i7 - HP Envy laptop

Issue
Anytime the Bluetooth applet is used cinnamon CPU usage skyrockets.

Steps to reproduce

1. In terminal run top
2. Note that the CPU % for cinnamon is 10% or less.
3. Click on the Bluetooth applet and make sure the Devices tab is selected.
4. Watch the CPU % for cinnamon go up around 80%+.
5. Using the Bluetooth applet turn Bluetooth off (or if you click on the Settings tab).
6. Note that CPU % for cinnamon drops down to 10% or less.
7. Using the Bluetooth applet turn Bluetooth back on (or click back on the Devices tab).
8. Note that CPU % for cinnamon skyrockets back to around 80%+

Expected behaviour

CPU % usage for cinnamon shouldn't be impacted by using Bluetooth

Other information
This is a recent and clean install of Linux Mint 18.3 to my new SSD. My previous install didn't have this issue but I was using Blueman and never used the "blueberry" applet before.
I installed Blueman and using this instead of the applet the CPU usage problem does not occur.

Hi, please give us the power to close blueberry using a shortcut.
I just installed it into my AwesomeWM and now i have to checkout the process to kill it by hand?
Thats a bit sad.

I dunno, give an error and tell the user at least?
Or offer to enable it by calling systemctl or whatnot.

If it hadn't be for bluetoothctl, I'd still be here wondering why blueberry was taking so long.

Hi ,

At the moment, switching from HSP - A2DP can be done only using Sound Settings. this should be available from blueberry itself. And A2DP should really be the default option.

Thanks.

I'm running blueberry outside of a desktop environment (the Arch Linux wiki describes it as "Linux Mint's spin-off of GNOME Bluetooth, which works in all desktop environments", I don't know how accurate this is but makes me think my use case is not out of question).

There is this toggle for disabling bluetooth, which I normally do using systemctl. It would be nice if it worked but it just fails miserably because it has no permission to run rfkill. Now, I guess I could modify sudoers so that my user can run rfkill without pass, but that's not nice.

Why not calling rfkill using gksudo, pkexec or similar? I mean, something that requests the user to enter his/her pass. How is it that it works under Mint for a unpriviledged user?

Not sure if this belongs here or https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon-bluetooth/issues/18

At the moment, panel applet shows 1 device connected when am connected to my JBL Flip Speaker. Can this tool tip be enhanced to include more details? Helps avoid opening the application.
