1 Hi,
2
3 i'm trying to set up a simple bluetooth keyboard, but somehow it won't
4 work :-)
5
6 This is my setup:
7 Systemd + GDM + Fluxbox (this is the easiest way for me to use
8 gnome-stuff like gnome-keyring-daemon, ... In the background my fluxbox
9 is also running a gnome-settings-daemon)
10
11 hcitool dev successfully detects my bluetooth device.
12
13 According to [1] I tried to set up my keyboard using the command line.
14 But actually simple-agent doesn't seem to be available in bluez 5.x.
15 So I tried to use blueman-applet. This is a snippet of the output of
16 blueman-applet:
17
18 Function on_manager_state_changed on RecentConns Failed
19 Traceback (most recent call last):
20 File
21 "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/blueman/main/PluginManager.py",
22 line 220, in Run
23 ret = getattr(inst, function)(*args, **kwargs)
24 File
25 "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/blueman/plugins/applet/RecentConns.py",
26 line 195, in on_manager_state_changed
27 adapters = self.Applet.Manager.ListAdapters()
28 File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/blueman/bluez/utils.py",
29 line 28, in warp
30 raise errors.parse_dbus_error(exception)
31 DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: Method
32 "ListAdapters" with signature "" on interface "org.bluez.Manager"
33 doesn't exist
34
35
36 It seems to me that this is a dbus problem or something like that, but I
37 don't know what I am doing wrong.
38 I started "systemctl start bluetooth" and my user is in the group plugdev.
39
40 Any suggestions?
