Re: No bluetooth icon

Quick question:

Did you set up your computer to start the bluetooth daemon? (You can check in /etc/rc.conf at the bottom of the page)
When you say 'bluetooth icon', do you mean the icon that would appear at the top right corner of the panel or like an icon that is on your physical PC?

Lets start there and we can move from there. The more information you can give, the easier it can be to solve wink

Re: No bluetooth icon

Ok, so I can safely assume that you have on your panel the notification area on?

I did use gnome-bluetooth for a bit and didn't see the bluetooth icon. I switched to blueman and had better results:

#pacman -Ss blueman (this will search for it)
#pacman -S blueman (this will download it)

See if blueman brings up the bluetooth icon or not. If not, then we know it might be the notification area that is having the problems (or just bluetooth in general tongue)
