LXQt/Lubuntu 19.10 has no bluetooth panel indicator

Question

When recently installing Lubuntu 19.10 I notice there is no bluetooth indicator present, although bluedevil is installed and I can run "Bluedevil Wizard". In order to get an indicator I have installed blueman. Am I supposed to do that and not have a bluetooth indicator by default?

(By the way, this 18.10 problem still affects me in 19.10: Bluetooth connection (Bluez) not working after logout (works after restart). In the context of that question - different from this one as it may be: with just bluedevil I cannot even see my bluetooth device and cannot add it at all. I need blueman to see and add the device, and then reinstall bluez or restart when the linked problem appears.)

Solution

Just install Bluetooth Manager:

sudo apt-get install blueman

and go to Start -> Bluetooth Manager.

Also works fine for Lubuntu 20.04.

manual.lubuntu.me/stable/2/2.1/2.1.4/bluedevil.html Bluedevil is the default application to manage Bluetooth devices for Lubuntu. (I don't use bluetooth, but I have an applet on my panel for bluetooth in the System.Tray) packages.ubuntu.com/eoan/lubuntu-desktop shows bluedevilis installed by default

@guiverc - I will make clear in the question body just like in the title: I too have bluedevil but starting it brings no Bluetooth indicator to the panel.

The same solution is for Lubuntu 21.04
