blueman-applet crashed with dbus.exceptions.DBusException in call_blocking(): org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.TimedOut: Failed to activate service 'org.bluez': timed out

[Lyn Perrine]

blueman crashed and I did not realize it but it I had the additional drivers part of the new ubuntu mate welcome part of 16.04

This is a bit supring as I do not have any bluetooth adapaters on this desktop so this is a bit supring. Maybe something is trying to acess a non existant device.

>my labtop doesnt have bluetooth hardware so why it installing in first place

My computer doesn't have built-in bluetooth hardware either, but I'm glad
the software is installed, because I want my bluetooth dongle to work when I
plug it in.

[oldrocker99 (fhwri99)]

I got it upon booting the live USB.

[AdamH (adam-sundew)]

I got this error message from my Ubuntu MATE 16.04 (64-bit) fresh install inside a VirtualBox VM (VirtualBox version: 5.0.14, i.e. latest at time of writing), with no Bluetooth hardware connected to the VM.

Received crash report after booting up on Xubuntu 16.04 Beta-1 from an external DVD. I have no Bluetooth devices on this machine. The MD5SUM of the downloaded ISO file checked good.

[David Bonnie (thewacokid)]

Same problem here. No Bluetooth, but a crash/error report popped up as soon as I booted from a USB thumb drive.
