Description of problem: I installed Plasma 5.27.4 and bluetooth works great, but I did a fresh install with Cinnamon and I don't have any bluetooth applet. I noticed gnome-bleetooth is installed and I later installed gnome-bluetooth3.34 and problem persist. I just installed bluez-hid2hci and will reboot to test. Mageia 9 mga9 (x86-64) Cinnamon 5.6.7 Regards ZekeMX

Hello everyone I installed lib64bluez3 and it now works, exept that I cannot see my bluetooth keyboard but I can see my smartwatch and others, it its weird since I can see my keyboard with my cell phone and others except cinnamon, it did work with Plasma 5. It seems lib64bluez3 should be installed as part of cinnamon and other dependencies Regards ZekeMX
|I installed bluez-pin bluez-mesh bluez-pin bluez-tools and it now seems to be working. I am now able to see my apple bluetooth keyboard, I ignore which one solved the problem but it works now. Regards ZekeMX
Thank you for the report. Can you show what bluetooth packages you have installed. Try for example: rpm -qa | grep blue | sort > It seems lib64bluez3 should be installed as part of cinnamon It seems that this package resolved most, but not all, of your Cinnamon problems; leaving just the keyboard not visible.

Please find out, fairly easily: remove one at a time, individually, then see the result, and re-install it.

Could installing blueman fixes your issue?
I think that bluez and blueman are the two packages which are needed for cinnamon to make bluetooth working.

If I choose to remove bluez it tells me it will remove blueman, but bluman is the applet being used, lib64bluez3 will remove all other packages.
Thank you for the list. There is no doubt about the need for lib64bluez3 or bluez; probably also blueman for Cinnamon. > I installed bluez-pin bluez-mesh bluez-pin bluez-tools > and it now seems to be working. > I am now able to see my apple bluetooth keyboard, > I ignore which one solved the problem *This* is the unknown. I was looking for which of: bluez-pin [not required by anything] bluez-mesh [not required by anything] bluez-tools [required only by blueberry] resolved the keyboard problem. Try removing these one at a time; hopefully they will not want to take other things with them. bluez-tools is a mystery, as it is required only by blueberry - which you do not seem to have. Perhaps you can install a package without another which requires it; why not? (In reply to David GEIGER from comment #7) > I think that bluez and blueman are the two packages which are needed for > cinnamon to make bluetooth working. $ urpmq --requires task-cinnamon-minimal | grep blue [nothing] $ urpmq --requires-recursive task-cinnamon-minimal | grep blue bluez lib64bluez3 networkmanager-bluetooth so why did Ezequie have to add lib64bluez3 explicitly to a Cinnamon installation? (comment 2) $ urpmq --whatrequires blueman [nothing] David, can you please check these bluetooth 'requires' for Cinnamon?
I just added bluez and blueman as recommended packages in minimal sub-pkg.
Many thanks. $ urpmq --requires-recursive task-cinnamon-minimal | grep blue blueman bluez gnome-bluetooth|bluez-pin|bluedevil lib64bluez3 networkmanager-bluetooth pulseaudio-module-bluetooth This may explain comment 3 re bluez-pin. I think we can safely close this.
