• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

emerge --info

A plugin imports GdkX11 from gi.repository:

https://github.com/blueman-project/blueman/blob/main/blueman/plugins/applet/GameControllerWakelock.py#L13

blueman-applet cannot be started without GdkX11.
This will cause blueman-manager to become unable to start, since it requires the applet.

It doesn't require GdkX11 and it should skip that plugin. Post a proper error er python backtrace.

Exception message from blueman-applet

x11-libs/gtk+-3.24.34:3::gentoo  USE="... -X* ..."
gui-libs/gtk-4.8.0:4::gentoo  USE="... -X* ..."
dev-cpp/gtkmm-3.24.7:3.0::gentoo  USE="... -X* ..."

Above is a list of packages I reinstalled with -X USE, to make the error appear.

I added the exception message as attachment. The exception output is from blueman-applet, and the process exits with code 1 after the exception message.

Thanks for the report.  This probably wasn't desired upstream but I honestly doubt there are any non-source distros with non-X11 GTK+ builds right now.

It's not. I'll push out a fix before the next release.

Looks like upstream has fixed this: https://github.com/blueman-project/blueman/commit/706825989739dd95d8c100b8517f796aea370fdc

I put up https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/37296 to revert the fix here. This is the only package on my system that is pulling in GTK+ w/ X enabled and I'm trying to remove all X usage on my system.
