NAME

bluetoother - Bluetoooth adapter connectivity GUI tool.

SYNOPSIS

bluetoother [OPTION]

OPTIONS

--print-server-errors Prints errors.

--no-warn-dlg No warning dialog in restricted mode.

-v --version Prints version.

-h --help Prints this message.

DESCRIPTION

Simple GUI tool to configure bluetooth adapter connectivity for systemd and bluez (libbluetooth).

When run by a normal user (restricted mode), the functionality is limited.

With Wayland it should be run with 'pkexec bluetoother'. With X11 it is also possible to use 'sudo bluetoother'.

Troubleshooting: If the 'pkexec' command doesn't work, it's probably because there isn't a policykit authentication agent installed. Each desktop environment usually has its own implementation, which should be chosen.

At the time of writing, on Debian based distributions:
     - Mate needs package 'mate-polkit' to be installed.
     - XFCE and Cinnamon need 'policykit-1-gnome'.
     - KDE needs 'polkit-kde-agent-1'.
     - LXDE needs package 'lxpolkit'.

On Arch based distributions the package names change slightly:
     - Mate needs package 'mate-polkit'.
     - XFCE and Cinnamon need 'policy-gnome'.
     - KDE needs 'polkit-kde-agent'.
     - LXDE needs package 'lxsession'.
