I’m experiencing at least two issues on GNOME after updating.
- Bluetooth is behaving strangely. When I first log in, my Bluetooth mouse connects automatically, as it should. But my Bluetooth keyboard (Lenovo ThinkPad Trackpoint II) does not. When I go to the Bluetooth settings menu in GNOME, it lists the keyboard but fails to connect to it when prompted. In an attempt to resolve the issue, I select “Remove Device” in Bluetooth settings, then try reconnecting the keyboard as a new device. This initially appears successful, but this is where things get really odd. The newly connected keyboard is unresponsive. Then, moments after it connects, the Bluetooth settings menu refreshes and shows Bluetooth as being switched off. The dropdown menu on the GNOME status bar likewise says Bluetooth is switched off. But clearly Bluetooth is not actually switched off, because the Bluetooth mouse continues working the whole time. I tried to tinker by launching
bluetoothctlon the command line, but it hangs on launch while the GNOME Bluetooth settings are showing this weird state. For reference, I’ve already tried rebooting a couple times and the whole sequence above repeats each time.
UPDATE: No fix yet, but I’ve opened a new thread on the issue here.
- My other problem is simpler (I hope). A couple applets aren’t appearing on startup like they usually do, despite still being listed as startup applications in the GNOME tweak tool.
mntray, for example no longer appears in the taskbar, though it appears to be running in the background, as attempting to start it in the terminal results in the error,mntray already running, exiting(it also shows up in the list of running processes output byps aux).
UPDATE: This config file modification alleviates the mntray issue.
