I have a PC with Debian Jessie (amd64) with Gnome as visual environment and I am trying to install Blueman and / or Bluedevil (I thinks these packages are from KDE). I install them from the repositories with apt-get install blueman, without apparent errors, but when I run them from the console with blueman-manager I get the following error:

Loading configuration plugins

(blueman-manager: 20757): GConf-WARNING **: Client failed to connect to the D-BUS daemon: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken. Skipping plugin GConf gconf-error-quark: The D-Bus daemon is not running (2) No suitable configuration backend found, exitting

With Bluedevil the answer is very similar.

I have searched for information on the net but I have not found anything that really explains the problem... I think perhaps are some dependencies that are't installed but any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

  • They probably need to be run from a terminal emulator within a running desktop session - rather than the console. If you need to run things like this from the console, sometimes it's sufficient to set an appropriate DISPLAY variable; other times you need to set DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS explicitly – steeldriver Jan 3 '18 at 19:06

There are two similar issues on GitHub that suggest that pulseaudio-module-bluetooth needs to be installed.
