Description Jeremy Bicha 2013-01-04 20:16:34 UTC 
I built gnome-control-center from jhbuild an hour ago. I'm using Ubuntu with glib 2.35.3, GTK 3.7.2, and bluez 4.101

Enabling and disabling Bluetooth from the Power panel doesn't work, but it works in the Bluetooth panel.


(gnome-control-center:15603): GLib-CRITICAL **: `sv' is not a valid GVariant format string

(gnome-control-center:15603): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_variant_new: assertion `valid_format_string (format_string, TRUE, NULL) && format_string[0] != '?' && format_string[0] != '@' && format_string[0] != '*' && format_string[0] != 'r'' failed

We need to ensure that bluetoothd is activated, otherwise the
default adapter might not be present. Unfortunately, this is
not enough to make the switch actually have the same effect
as the shell menuitem.
Comment 2 Jeremy Bicha 2013-01-05 06:13:36 UTC 
Adding the parentheses to sv fixes the format_string error, but the rest of the patch doesn't seem to make much of a difference (the Bluetooth switch still doesn't work).
Comment 3 Matthias Clasen 2013-01-05 15:32:29 UTC 
depends on how you define 'works'. It does succeed in changing the 'Powered' property of the default adapter. What effect that has on the actual hw, I don't know.

By "works" I mean the Bluetooth toggle in Power seems to have zero effect on the Bluetooth toggle in Bluetooth or the Bluetooth toggle in GNOME Shell's top bar (or vice versa, turning Bluetooth on or off in those other two places has no effect on the Bluetooth switch in Power).

Therefore, I don't think this bug should be marked "fixed" yet.

I think Jasper moved the BT switch functionality to g-s-d now, right?

Nope, only the airplane mode functionality was moved, but moving the code to g-s-d is probably a good idea so that we don't need to replicate it in gnome-control-center and gnome-shell.
