	Frequently Asked Questions About Blueman

 1.	I have a problem - how do I begin the debugging process?

	To retrieve useful information, the best starting point is to run 
	"blueman-applet" from a terminal window. Since only one instance may
	be running at a time, you will first need to stop any instances 
	already running (use "ps x | grep [b]lueman" to find the pid and then 
	run "kill ####" or use "killall blueman-applet").

	There will be plenty of output in the terminal window, which will also
	include messages from blueman-manager. 

	See our Troubleshooting page for more information on this process:

 2.	The blueman applet does not show any detected bluetooth adapters - what
	is wrong?

	First, make sure that your kernel supports your bluetooth device. You 
	can use "bluez-test-adapter" (for BlueZ-4.x) or "bluetoothctl list"
	(for BlueZ-5.x) to see if your device is recognized. If it is not, 
	then either your kernel doesn't support the device or some hardware
	killswitch is preventing it from working.

	To check for killswitch problems, first ensure that you have rfkill 
	support enabled in your kernel and it is loaded (i.e. the "rfkill"
	module is loaded or it is built into your kernel statically).
	Check the output of "rfkill list" and ensure that the bluetooth device
	is not listed as either "Soft blocked" or "Hard blocked" - if it is,
	then use the appropriate rfkill command to remove a soft block, and/or
	check for a hardware switch on your machine to remove a hard block.

	To check for kernel support, use "lsusb" and/or "lspci" to find the
	hardware ID and do a web search to determine whether it should be 
	supported.  If you are not sure how to do tihs and/or are not sure
	how to interpret the results, scroll to the bottom of this document
	for information on how to open an issue with the Blueman project.
