"Bluetooth Settings" buttons doesn't work in flathub version on Fedora 34

[esijg]

I am getting the following error when clicking the bluetooth settings button on latest vanilla Fedora 34 (gnome).

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/app/share/siglo/siglo/window.py", line 257, in on_bluetooth_settings_clicked
    subprocess.Popen(["gnome-control-center", "bluetooth"])

I believe this is just a limitation of flatpak. @jwillikers ?

[jwillikers]

Unfortunately, there's no good way to do this that I'm aware of that respects the protections of the sandbox. There might be a portal or D-Bus interface I just don't know about.

[theironrobin]

We are going to have to find a way to detect when the app is running as a flatpak and let the user know that some features will be unavailable.

[jwillikers]

I usually do that by checking if the file /.flatpak-info exists.

It doesn't work on my Fedora desktop either with native Siglo - but maybe thats because I use Plasma ?

[theironrobin]

Could be - what is the output when opening from the terminal?

well, yes - it won't find gnome-control-center on a plasma (or plasma-mobile) desktop

Is there a way to open plasma Bluetooth settings from python? And is there a way for python to tell if it's running under gnome or plasma. 🤔

I'm not sure there is anything for Plasma's Bluetooth tool Bluedevil, but I see the underlying Bluetooth Protocol Stack for both, Bluez, has Python bindings available via pybluez.
