I added bluetooth-applet &
to ~/.config/qtile/autostart.sh
but I don’t see the Bluetooth applet anywhere.
When I run bluetoothctl
I get the following message: “Waiting to connect to bluetoothd…”.
I have to run sudo /usr/lib/bluetooth/bluetoothd -n -d
to enter bluetoothctl
. Then bluetooth works fine.
However, I would prefer to interract with bluetooth through GUI (applet).
Hello,
a look at the EndeavourOS-Wiki provides the explanation.
Wiki
sudo systemctl start bluetooth
sudo systemctl enable bluetooth
I hope this helps.

Have a look at the following thread where the OP seems to have solved a similar problem as yours:
I am new Qtile and tried It out, because it is said, that the documentation is good and because it’s written in Python, which I use everyday.
Besides having a tiling manager I, want the bar to almost behave as on a normal Desktop.
So I added the following widgets to the bar:
PulseVolume
CPU
Wlan
Bluetooth
Battery
The problem are:
widget.PulseVolume(background=“#2f343f”) always shows wrong values.
widget.CPU(fmt=f"CPU {load_percent:4.1f} %“,background=”#2f343f", foreground=“#9bd689”) does …
Well, it is because I read this topic that I added bluetooth-applet &
, but in my case it didn’t work…

It seems that the author of the thread made a typo, because he first mentioned bluetooth-applet
. My system can’t find blueman-applet
, how can I install it?

You might be right. That could be a typo.
But more specifacally the disown
part that seems to be lacking in your line.

Blueman should be DE/WM agnostic if I am not mistaken.

Everything works fine now, thank you all.
To sum up, here is what has to be done to make Bluetooth applet work:
$ sudo pacman -S blueman
add the following line to ~/.config/qtile/autostart.sh
: blueman-applet &
$ sudo systemctl enable bluetooth
$ reboot
