blueman-applet crashes on resume from suspend (D-Bus race condition) #3207

Version: 2.3.5-3build1 (Ubuntu 24.04 noble)

Description:
blueman-applet crashes intermittently when the system resumes from suspend.
The crash appears to be a race condition where blueman tries to communicate
with bluetoothd via D-Bus before the bluetooth service has fully restarted.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Suspend the system (e.g. close laptop lid)
  2. Resume from suspend
  3. blueman-applet crashes — Ubuntu reports an internal error for /usr/bin/blueman-applet

Expected: applet reconnects to bluetoothd gracefully after resume
Actual: applet crashes with a Python/GLib exception

Workaround: systemd-sleep hook that kills and restarts blueman-applet 3s after resume

Related: #325, #488, #2521


Once you've run the two sudo commands for the sleep hook, the workaround should kick in on your next resume. Let me know if the crash persists after that.
