I have a problem with BT again, I installed blueman from SlackBuild at http://connie.slackware.com/~rworkman/blueman/, but when I start it (from Setting > Bluetooth Manager), it was running with a minimized window at the taskbar for a while and not appear any window or icon on the system tray.
I track its process, there's still it running background

Rep:
i actually have the same problem. some background info:
slackware64 13.0 with bluez 4.61, bluez-hcidump, bluez-firmware, obexftp, openobex, wxgtk.
i installed blueman from rworkman's packages.
if i try to start it without bluez libs and utils, it says that bluez is not running and just stops.
if i install bluez libs and utils it starts but the process stalls. it appears in the taskbar for a short period but then it's gone and i have to stop the process from the task-manager.
when i try to launch from the console i get this error message:
Code:

As I see, the problem is on dbus but I dont know how to fix it.
I am having a similar problem. Blueman is running but the try icon does not show.
Code:
Loading configuration plugins
Using gconf config backend
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/blueman-applet", line 364, in <module>

File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/blueman/Functions.py", line 270, in check_single_instance
pid = int(f.readline())
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: ''
This is the error I receive when I run it in console. I have tried google-fu and came up with one site which did nothing but state the problem. I have even tried Ron's SlackBuild comes up with same result.
Any help would be appreciated as I haven't the foggiest idea what is going on here.
