Plasma notification not showing the buttons to trust bluetooth devices

Desktop Environments Plasma
1

So this is a problem that I’ve had before, for some reason when a device tries to connect the notification pops up in bottom right corner but the damn buttons are gone!

Last time I just nuked the entire install because there was some other self caused wounds that I was too lazy to fix, but now I really wanna get to the bottom of this. I can connect with bluetoothctl, but sometimes that just goes into this connect disconnect cycle too.

Just tell me what logs to send and I’ll pastebin them!

Here’s journalctl snippet that appeared when that msg popped up.

e: Okay, dicking around with bluetoothctl and I noticed that if I do # default-agent before attempting to connect I get the text dialog to trust the device. Is it somehow registering the wrong agent? Shouldn’t it be well, the default one.

notification is dunst here so you may have eos-i3 installed aside from plasma? autostarting some stuff from i3?

[sxo@foffck ~]$ sudo pacman -R i3
error: target not found: i3
[sxo@foffck ~]$ sudo pacman -Q|grep i3
[sxo@foffck ~]$

Try pacman -Q | grep i3

You need spaces.

[sxo@foffck ~]$ echo “No you don’t”|grep you
No you don’t

:slight_smile:

What’s the contents of ~/.config ?

Removing dunst seemed to do the trick, although I do wonder what the issue is since I’m pretty sure it was working even with dunst handling the notifications at some point. Still seems like there’s something wonky with bluetooth, seeing how my PS3 controller never shows up in the device menu.
