Bluetooth indicator no longer shows up

Fedora 40 Silverblue testing and kernel 6.8.4. Bluetooth works fine but shows as not connected in both panel (gnome-shell) and gnome settings bluetooth. If I go to gnome settings sound I see my bluetooth headphones and I can set them up normally. Basically it’s all working but shows as disconnected. This did not occur on kernel 6.8.1 for example.

Bluetooth device Intel(R) Centrino(R) Wireless-N 130 BGN, REV=0xB0

I think I have the same issue.

This is likely a bug in bluez or the kernel. Reporting it in Bugzilla would be best.

Most likely kernel. So far I’m aware of kernels 6.7.11 and 6.8.4 to be affected.

Just installed brand new kernel 6.8.5. Same issue.

This was fixed in testing today with kernel 6.8.5-301.fc40.x86_64.
