Description Michael 2020-09-05 22:07:31 UTC
in certain case which is booting and logging with BT adapter inserted TWO BT connection icons appear in tray, both with the same options in the drop down menu, it does NOT happen when I insert the BT adapter after logging into the desktop 

also happens when for any reason I need restart network manager service, then independent of having before 1 Icon, two come up 

"solution", remove KdeConnect

So both of them do the same thing when you either right-click or left-click on them? They are identical? Am I understanding that you have tow bluetooth adapters, or only one?
Comment 2 Nate Graham 2020-09-08 13:35:17 UTC
(*two, not tow, sorry)
Comment 3 Michael 2020-09-08 19:26:40 UTC
you're excused, don't worry :) :) 

I have two identical looking and working tray icons when starting the desktop (logging in) with the adapter in the hole 

I have ONE usb bluetooth dongle and it does not matter using another one, the result is the same as described 

thanks

Does your computer have its own built-in Bluetooth functionality, or is the USB adapter the only one?
Comment 5 Michael 2020-09-08 20:57:53 UTC
it has no onboard BT, wireless also not
Comment 6 Nate Graham 2020-09-08 21:07:49 UTC
Thanks. How strange. So what does KDE Connect have to do with it?
Comment 7 Michael 2020-09-09 07:51:50 UTC
because then it is when it happens, Kde Connect should use any existing BT connection for whatever it does right? and it does, it just puts another additional icon in System Tray 

when Kde Connect is not installed I can boot or login to the desktop with the BT adapter plugged in and no second Icon appears

Thanks for the info.
