blueman-applet starts with error, but bluetooth seems to work normally

Hello guys. I just read the wiki article Bluetooth, following everything. Then installed this AUR package bluez5-git to have an applet on my xfce4-panel. I had spend all my evening try learn how to compile a custom kernel version just to make bluetooth work, as 3.15 Linux kernel breaks it. :C After all mess I had done in front of my computer, I finally got it working. But everytime I login, this error comes up:

Failed to apply network settings

org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildSignaled: Process org.blueman.Mechanism received signal 5

You might not be able to connect to the Bluetooth network via this machine

The sames happens if I kill blueman-applet and start it again.
I just don't know what to do next.

Hi, thanks for replying.

And where are you getting blueman?

bluez5 is a version of blueman, you can see the package here.

bluez5 is not a version of blueman, bluez a popular bluetooth stack for Linux and blueman is a manager for it. I didn't click on your link before, thinking you were linking to bluez, not blueman.

I've been having the same issue. Have you found any fix for it?
