Description Federico Mena Quintero 2008-09-02 16:27:12 UTC

The tray icon for Bluetooth started appearing automatically with Alpha2.  However, it doesn't give a way to turn off Bluetooth on my laptop, not from the icon's menu nor its preferences window.

Fn-F5 does nothing, either.

Comment 2 JP Rosevear 2008-09-20 17:58:47 UTC

The hotkeys was something the mobile team was handling i believe.  Seife do you know what the goal is here?

No, but Timo should know about the hotkeys.

In the new bluetooth-applet there is indeed no way to switch the adapter off, I have no Idea why this was removed.

Putting P2 since I think many users will want this (I was wondering the same...).

Comment 5 Forgotten User ZhJd0F0L3x 2008-09-29 16:23:13 UTC

I'm discussing this upstream here: http://marc.info/?t=122270404200018&r=1&w=2

Maybe if some more knowledgeable wrt. bluetooth-applet could provide a patch, that might help the discussion :)

Comment 7 Forgotten User ZhJd0F0L3x 2008-10-08 11:25:45 UTC

bluez-gnome 1.7 or later should have support to turn off the device via HAL's killswitch infrastructure.

Let's hope that it works ;-)

Opened bug #433710 for the hotkey issue.
