I have the same problem on my system. Using rfkill I have a sony- bluetooth and a hci0 devices, the latter only existing if the former is not blocked. These are the three possible scenarios:
1) Physical switch on, bluetooth on Behavior: correct The indicator is shown regularly. rfkill: 1: sony-bluetooth: Bluetooth Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 3: hci0: Bluetooth Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 2) Physical switch on, bluetooth off Behavior: wrong There is no indicator in the panel, though it is needed to soft unblock the bluetooth. rfkill: 1: sony-bluetooth: Bluetooth Soft blocked: yes Hard blocked: no 3) Physical switch off Behavior: uncertain There is no indicator in the panel, as it can't be used to switch the bluetooth on. However it may be useful to notify the presence of a bluetooth adapter. 1: sony-bluetooth: Bluetooth Soft blocked: yes Hard blocked: yes -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1126108 Title: 0.0.6 regression: disappears entirely when disabling BT To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-bluetooth/+bug/1126108/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
