I have just fresh installed Ubuntu 14.10. I want to use blueman instead of bluez, so I have disabled bluez in upper bar, by using option in system settings. However, blueman icon does not appear in the system tray. I have restarted computer several times, and blueman indicator should start with system, it is in start up applications. Any ideas? Thank you!

enter image description here

Edit1: If I launch it with the terminal(/usr/bin/python /usr/bin/blueman-applet), I get:

Loading configuration plugins
blueman-applet version 1.23 starting
There is an instance already running

ps -aux | grep -i blueman shows:

dusan     3806  0.0  0.5 565924 43536 ?        Sl   11:44   0:00 /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/blueman-applet

  • what if you enable bluetooth in the upper bar in system settings? do you see two icons (one for bluez and one for blueman)?

You would have to re-enable systray through a patch. Try running the following commands to install the appropriate patch for Ubuntu 14.10

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gurqn/systray-utopic
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Then, restart Unity by pressing ALT + F2 and entering "unity" or by logging out. The PPA should then automatically whitelist all applications and show them on the tray.
