Title:
Indicator disappears entirely when disabling / turning off bluetooth
Status in indicator-bluetooth package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Bug 1116289 made the BT indicator disappear when there is no hardware.
However, with that version I now also have it disappear when my
existing BT hardware is merely disabled. I. e. I disable BT from the
indicator, then it disappears, leaving me no obvious method to turn it
back on again. I can re-enabble it in control-center, and then the
indicator comes back.
I think when it sees no actual BT hardware it ought to check rfkill
whether there is disabled BT hardware:
$ grep -r . /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/{type,state,soft,persistent}
/sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/type:bluetooth
/sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/state:1
/sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/soft:0
/sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/persistent:1
After disabling BT from the indicator, "soft" changes to 1:
$ grep -r . /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/{type,state,soft,persistent}
/sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/type:bluetooth
/sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/state:0
/sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/soft:1
/sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/persistent:1
