Two icons in the dash board #396

Closed MS893 closed 8 years ago

MS893 commented 8 years ago

In the dash board, when adding the greffon (indicator), I have two icons for bluetooth, 1 for switching ON or OFF the bluetooth and the devices, 1 for general menu managing bluetooth.

Is it possible to group these two icons in only one ?

Thanks.

What dashboard? Are you talking about tray icons? I doubt that they are both blueman's.

MS893 commented 8 years ago

Yes tray icons... (in the bar on top screen or bottom)

I will sens a screen capture when back home (sunday).

One icon with BT configuration menu (with enable/disable option) and one with switches to change between ON and OFF and list of paires devices in which you have also switches to connecter device.

Which distribution you are running on?

MS893 commented 8 years ago

I tell you when back home.

This problem is for long time and several xubuntu updates.

MS893 commented 8 years ago

xubuntu...

yars068 commented 8 years ago

Possible it is, because blueman uses libappindicator3, which is part of ubuntu-based distributions. Xfce have a system tray, which have a similar functionality as libappindicator. I use Slackware with Xfce and that does not use libappindicator anymore, so I have no problem with that. To check it, you can build bliueman with passing --disable-appindicator to configure.

Here are the screen captures...

The first one is not blueman and from the looks of it it most likely is gnome-bluetooth. Do you have gnome-bluetooth installed and is it running?

MS893 commented 8 years ago

I don't know. Here is the blueman-applet informations : capture d ecran_2015-11-29_14-49-35 capture d ecran_2015-11-29_14-50-16

I just checked my vm and the first one is definitely gnome-bluetooth. You will need to prevent gnome-bluetooth from loading or remove gnome-bluetooth with the ubuntu package manager of choice.

MS893 commented 8 years ago

I've removed gnome-bluetooth (gnome-bluetooth 3.16.1-1ubuntu2), but I still have 2 icons in the top bar.

Anyway, if I cannot remove one (or in fact merge the 2 icons), I give up I have this for a long time, and I'm not dead :-)

Thanks for trying to help

Just removing will not stop the still running process. Run the following command to kill it. killpgrep gnome-bluetooth

MS893 commented 8 years ago

Yes I know, I have rebooted my computer after uninstalling gnome-bluetooth and there is no more process.

The 2 icons are not due to gnome_bluetooth, but the xfce4-indicator-plugin which display 2 icons. The problem is not from Blueman...

I don't know which alternative I have for the greffon (indicator plugin)...

Anyway, it's not a big problem, just not logical to have 2 icons for the same function. Thanks

The gnome-bluetooth version shipped with wily should not have bluetooth-applet anymore, so basically it makes sense that removing that package does not have the expected effect. The applet is now provided by gnome-shell. I guess it uses the package libgnome-bluetooth13. Can you check if it's installed and if removing it (is possible and) removes the icon?

MS893 commented 8 years ago

Yes libgnome-bluetooth13 is installed, but how can I uninstall it ?

MS893 commented 8 years ago

I have done this : sudo apt-get remove libgnome-bluetooth13 to remove it, and now I have 1 icon, but "no indicator" displayed also !!! capture d ecran_2015-11-29_20-10-39

cschramm commented 8 years ago

I guess that removed the only libindicator icon from xfce4-indicator-plugin so that it now displays a placeholder. You can get rid of it by removing it from the panel or uninstalling it completely.

MS893 commented 8 years ago

Thanks, that's all good now !

I have reinstalled the libgnome-bluetooth13, than I removed the indicator greffon from the tab, and I added other elements and now I have only one bluetooth icon in the notification element.

So my problem is solved, thank you very much for your patience !
