Hi Great minds!!
I am running MX fluxbox 23
blueman applet not working, when clicked from menu it appears for a fraction of second then vanishing

Below is the result
$ blueman-applet
blueman-applet 19.09.31 WARNING PluginManager:151 __load_plugin: Not loading DhcpClient because its conflict has higher priority
blueman-applet 19.09.31 WARNING PluginManager:151 __load_plugin: Not loading PPPSupport because its conflict has higher priority

$ service bluetooth status

Thanks in advance for the support

Here's a similar one, though there was no feedback whether upgrading Pipewire worked.

Can you run blueman-manager in your terminal, instead using the blueman-applet. If so try this command and see if that gets it going.

dbus-update-activitation-environment --all

Below is the results of same

$ /etc/init.d/bluetooth status
bluetooth is running.

Hi All
Issue solved
Thanks to @gimcrack & @Charlie Brown for responding.
The Problem (Issue) faced : Blueman tray not opening, Blueman window immediately closes after opening, Blueman tray crashes
Root Cause : Correct Driver was not installed

****************************************************************************************
Solution

Step-1: Check if bluetooth service is running
Open terminal and copy paste below (without dollar sign)
$ /etc/init.d/bluetooth status

Result expected:
bluetooth is running.
********************************************************************************************
Step-2: check if bluetooth is on
$ bluetooth status

Result expected:
bluetooth = on

**********************************************************************************************

Step-3 :Identify the bluetooth firmware (driver) file required

3.1: Enter below command; provide password if asked
$ sudo dmesg | grep -i bluetooth

Result Expected:
Bluetooth: hci1: BCM: chip id 63
Bluetooth: hci1: BCM20702A
Bluetooth: hci1: BCM20702A1 (001.002.014) build 0000
bluetooth hci1: Direct firmware load for brcm/BCM20702A1-0b05-17cb.hcd failed with error -2
Bluetooth: hci1: BCM: Patch brcm/BCM20702A1-0b05-17cb.hcd not found
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.2: Look for a Line as below
bluetooth hci1: Direct firmware load for brcm/BCM20702A1-0b05-17cb.hcd failed with error -2
****************************************************************************************************************************

Step-4 :: search and download the highlighted part (This is the will be the required driver)
brcm/BCM20702A1-0b05-17cb.hcd
Note:
This file will be different based on your bluetooth adaptor make
****************************************************************************************************************************

Step-5: Copy and paste the file in to the correct location
5.1: copy the downloaded file from dowloads
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.2: Navigate to below location (Tunar in my case)
/lib/firmware/brcm
Note:
The 'brcm' will be different in your case if your bluetooth adaptor make is not broadcom
You can identify the folder name from step-1 result
"bluetooth hci1: Direct firmware load for brcm/BCM20702A1-0b05-17cb.hcd failed with error -2
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.3: Get Root access
Right click and select 'open root Thunar here'
Note:
if you are not using not thunar look for option 'open root ....... here'.

Result:
A new window will be opening
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.4 : Paste
Right click and paste
