Gnome 3 Bluetooth problems

Hi,

I have a problem with bluetooth on gnome 3, the device is on but when i try to set as visible it doesn't do anything.
I'm able to use it with the hcitool:

$ sudo hciconfig hci0 up
$ hcitool dev
Devices:
    hci0    00:23:4D:E9:02:D7
$ sudo hciconfig hci0 piscan
$ hciconfig
hci0:    Type: BR/EDR  Bus: USB
    BD Address: 00:23:4D:E9:02:D7  ACL MTU: 1021:8  SCO MTU: 64:8
    UP RUNNING PSCAN ISCAN 
    RX bytes:914 acl:0 sco:0 events:36 errors:0
    TX bytes:153 acl:0 sco:0 commands:36 errors:0
$ hcitool scan
Scanning ...
    00:22:66:9F:75:F4    n/a

So it works... but when i try with the gnome 3 applet on the panel I'm unable to set as visible.
Also on the Bluetooth Settings is all greyed i can't change anything.

Is there someone with the same problem???
My Laptop is a Dell Latitude E5500
Kernel 2.6.39-ARCH
OS 64 bits

Re: Gnome 3 Bluetooth problems

Did you install bluez ans started the bluetooth deamon either manually or in rc.conf?

Re: Gnome 3 Bluetooth problems

Yes I have bluez installed and the daemon is started by rc.conf, but i also tried restarting the daemon but is the same....

Here is my Daemon list in rc.conf
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng dbus @bluetooth @networkmanager netfs crond @alsa)

Re: Gnome 3 Bluetooth problems

There must've been something wrong with the latest updates.  I just noticed your same exact problem and i had it working 2 days ago....

Re: Gnome 3 Bluetooth problems

I already have bluetooth in my DAEMON list

DAEMONS=(syslog-ng dbus @bluetooth @networkmanager netfs crond @alsa)

And no.. it's not working.

Re: Gnome 3 Bluetooth problems

Thanks for reply, but i also have a slide button for bluetooth and it works perfectly, i know this because if i disable the bluetooth using the button i can see how the icon on the panel changes, how the light on my laptop turns off and i also see some activity in the xorg.log
