[PLUG] blueproximity fails to unlock under KDE |
I have my laptop paired with my BlackBerry Storm2 via Bluetooth, and use blueproximity to detect when I walk away and automatically blank the screen with "qdbus org.kde.screensaver /ScreenSaver org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver.Lock" as the locking command and "killall kscreenlocker" as the unlocking command. These are the right commands ("qdbus org.kde.screensaver /ScreenSaver org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver.Lock ; sleep 2 ; killall kscreenlocker" blanks the screen for a couple of seconds and then restores). The problem is that when I walk away, the screen blanks, but when I return it doesn't unblank. Worse yet, even when the phone has the laptop flagged as trusted, and the laptop has the phone as trusted, when I return, I get prompted for a verification that each of them is displaying the same number, and they become untrusted. I have tried flagging the BB as trusted with bluedevil. I have also tried flagging it as trusted with bluez-test-device ("sudo /usr/bin/bluez-test-device trusted 12:34:56:78:9A:BC yes" followed by restarting the Bluetooth service). Neither sticks if I walk away and return. I have not been able to find a solution to the problem - this works well under Gnome, but I am trying KDE because I intensely dislike both the Gnome 3 shell and Unity (yes, I know I can use Ubuntu Classic for now, but its days seem to be limited). Thanks in advance.
