after installing new Kubuntu 10.10. The blueman won't start at all.

[Abdulaziz Junaid]

Binary package hint: blueman

When I try to run this command:

$ blueman-applet

The program won't start and this output is the result:

same here on kubuntu 11.04

I have installed Ubuntu 11.04 instead of Kubuntu and blueman works correctly.

It affects me too in a fully updated Kubuntu 11.04.

I believe this is a Kubuntu bug only, since I just switched over (fresh install) from Ubuntu 11.04 and blueman-applet was working.
