The bluetooth icon is not showing up in the system tray area, and I also don't see configuration options in the "System Settings". I have to manually run bluedevil-monolithic in order to have the icon in the system tray. I have installed Kubuntu 15.04 from scratch and updated to latest packages following instructions in http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-applications-15041-available-kubuntu-1504 Maybe I'm missing some manual step to fix this? or some package that might be needed to be installed? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Login to my KDE session 2. Try to configure Bluetooth Actual Results: There is no way to configure it, neither from the system tray, nor the system settings Expected Results: Have a bluetooth icon sitting in the system tray and a configuration module in the system settings bluedevil - 2.0~rc1really1.3.2-0ubuntu1 KDE plasma - 5.3.1 QT - 5.4.1
Hi, bluedevil-monolithic is started by Bluedevil KDED module. You have old KDE4 Bluedevil (due to Bluez 4 in Ubuntu) and Plasma 5, so it looks like kded4 is not started. You should fix it by adding kded4 to autostart programs.
Hey David, thanks for your answer, I ran killall bluedevil-monolithic and then I ran kded4 but I don't see bluedevil-monolithic running and no bluetooth in the system tray. I do see /usr/sbin/bluetoothd -n running as root, is this ok? Now, how would this be solved properly? should I uninstall bluez ?

Can you check if bluedevil module is loaded? Check output of: qdbus org.kde.kded /kded loadedModules > I do see /usr/sbin/bluetoothd -n running as root, is this ok? That's fine. > Now, how would this be solved properly? should I uninstall bluez ? No, you won't have working Bluetooth without BlueZ.

Great, I got "true" and system tray is now visible. I still don't see configuration in system settings though... Now, how do I make this automatic on Login ? Also, reading your response in https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=348895 maybe my problems are related to not having the real latest bluedevil and should just wait?

But I wonder why it wasn't set as autoloaded by default? Did you update your installation (and maybe disable Bluedevil module before?) or was it a clean installation?
Sorry, when you mention "qdbus org.kde.kded /kded setModuleAutoloading bluedevil true", means to just run this once, and it should remain enabled. Also, I need to add kded4 to the "Startup and Shutdown" system settings, right? As per your question, I did a clean installation from scratch for Kubuntu 15.04 and then upgraded to latest packages following instructions in http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-applications-15041-available-kubuntu-1504
(In reply to Franco Pellegrini from comment #9) > Sorry, when you mention "qdbus org.kde.kded /kded setModuleAutoloading > bluedevil true", means to just run this once, and it should remain enabled. This should make it permanent - that is it should automatically load bluedevil module on kded4 startup. So yes, you should only run this once. > Also, I need to add kded4 to the "Startup and Shutdown" system settings, > right? If it is not started otherwise, then yes.
I'm closing it as Kubuntu downstream issue.
Tried the qdbus org.kde.kded /kded setModuleAutoloading bluedevil true qdbus org.kde.kded /kded loadModule bluedevil to manually load the module and it works. Tried the qdbus org.kde.kded /kded setModuleAutoloading bluedevil true to have the module autoload, and it does not seem to do anything. Any clue
