Title:
No easy way to turn the Bluetooth menu on/off
Status in Ubuntu network, Bluetooth, keyboard menus:
Confirmed
Status in “unity-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
Problem occurs with: gnome-bluetooth 3.1.4-0ubuntu1, Ubuntu Ocelot
Does not occur with: Ubuntu 11.04
1. Try to work out how to hide the Bluetooth menu. (For example, your
computer has a Bluetooth card but you never use it.)
What happens: There's no obvious way to do it.
What should happen: "At the bottom of the “Bluetooth” panel in System
Settings should be a checkbox, “Show Bluetooth status in the menu
bar”. It should be checked by default for a new user account, but
should be sensitive only when there is a powered Bluetooth card or
dongle. Whenever the checkbox is sensitive and checked, a Bluetooth
menu should appear in the menu bar."
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bluetooth#specification>
This is an example of the general pattern described in
<https://design.canonical.com/2012/04/status-menus/>: "If you never
use a Bluetooth device, you shouldn’t need to see the Bluetooth menu.
And so on."
Ubuntu 11.04 has an equivalent checkbox, so this is a regression.
