BlueDevil autostart

Wed Jan 06, 2016 12:07 pm
An annoyance since I switched to Plasma 5 is that BlueDevil (KDE bluetooth) no longer starts automatically when I log in, for computers that have Bluetooth adapters. Even worse, it always starts as deactivated, and you must manually click the system tray icon and choose "Turn on bluetooth". This is especially a problem since I use a BT mouse for my laptop, and now need to use the touchpad each time to preform these steps for the mouse to work. Can this be fixed please, and work like it used to in KDE4?

I don't have one but wouldn't this be a distro not a KDE issue? shouldn't bluetooth be enabled at startup?

did the issue start when you up'ed the distro?

I thought it's a general KDE thing. And yes, it started once I moved from KDE 4 and onto Plasma 5.

I meant when/if you upgraded openSUSE

I don't actually know just thought it was one of the services started by systemd, if you look at the systemd KCM in systemsettings is it loaded, active and running when you reboot and login?

I looked in System Settings - Startup and Shutdown - Background Services, but can't see anything about BlueDevil there. Is that the right place?

in SystemSettings in the System Administration grouping I have a Systemd module, the openSUSE pkg should be called kcm_systemd

Oh... I don't seem to have that. The only entries there are Task Scheduler and YaST.

Can confirm that it is a distro issue. I've got Debian testing and Bluetooth started automagically (which was annoying). Proceed as google01103 stated and soon you'll be a happy bunny once again ;)

before you bring it up elsewhere determine if it is or isn't run at startup
