I found a Bazaar fork promising a solution to one of my issues here:
Bluetooth indicator disappears on turning off bluetooth

Problem is, I followed their instructions, and all it did was download the code to a local folder in my $user home.

Where do I go on from here? How do I install the code so that I can start getting the benefits promised by the solution?

Install the pre-requisites:

sudo apt-get install bzr build-essential

And install the dependencies: 

sudo apt-get build-dep indicator-bluetooth

Branch the fork from Launchpad:

bzr branch lp:~robert-ancell/indicator-bluetooth/dont-hide-on-rfkill

Jump to the directory: 

cd dont-hide-on-rfkill

Install:

Now you have two options:

Compile from source

Run: 

./configure  
make   
sudo make install

Install from compiled .deb

If you would rather install from a .deb run: 

dpkg-buildpackage

Then: 

cd

and 

sudo dpkg -i indicator-bluetooth_0.0.6daily13.02.19-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb

  • Thanks, but unfortunately, the first step gives me error: Package bazaar is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package 'bazaar' has no installation candidate

  • @charlie Does sudo apt-get update complete successfully?

  • @charlie I just realized I named the package wrong. It should be bzr not bazaar. I have edited the answer to fix that. Please try again :)

  • Thanks @Seth. It completed all right, but is there anyway I can check to see if its installed okay. The most obvious method of turning on my bluetooth and checking is unavailable due to askubuntu.com/questions/364661/… . See if you can help me on that one. :) Thanks again.

    A simple restart later, I was able to achieve the target. The bluetooth icon stays in the notification area...greyed when off, and activated when on. Thanks Seth!
