Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 9.2.11: Wi-Fi and Bluetooth icons only while connected
Release 1.0.0-beta.9.2.11, Y2Reborn 1.0.0-beta.9.2.11, kernel 6.18.56-y2linux-1.0.0-beta.9.2.11, update sequence 12700, root 2026.08-platform-v1.225. Published as GitHub release baseline-202 (test build 202). Previous release: Beta 9.2.10.
This report is written for people who use the player. A short technical appendix is at the end.
In one paragraph
The Wi-Fi and Bluetooth icons at the top of the screen now show only while they are connected, as on a phone. Before, they showed whenever Wi-Fi or Bluetooth was switched on, just dimmer when nothing was connected, and that looked as if the player were connected when it was not (Y2Linux #73).
What changed
- Wi-Fi icon: shown while the player is joined to a network.
- Bluetooth icon: shown while headphones or a speaker are connected.
- Whether Wi-Fi or Bluetooth is switched on is in Settings, as before. This works the same in the standard look
and in every skin.
How it was tested
- Before release: the platform's full check, Reborn's workspace tests and the tests of the finished release
images. New tests: in the standard look and in skins, a radio that is on but not connected draws exactly as if it were off, a connected one shows, and Wi-Fi that is switched off never shows (even right after it was connected).
- On the developer's player: installed over the air from Beta 9.2.10 and confirmed by the player itself
(Acknowledged); the platform and Reborn running, health OK, kernel not tainted.
Updating
Settings → System → Software Update → Update Now. Your music, playlists, settings, Wi-Fi networks and Bluetooth pairings stay. Restore Previous System (Settings → System → About, tap Version seven times, then Diagnostics) goes back to Beta 9.2.10.
Known issues
Everything listed for Beta 9.0 still applies.
Technical appendix
components/status.rs: Bluetooth when powered and a device is connected, Wi-Fi when powered andWifiStatus::Connected. Skins:indicatorsusebluetooth_connected/wifi_connected;Flag::WifiConnectednow also needs the radio on (an off radio with a stale Connected status showed the icon). The indicators'dimcolour is still accepted and checked (deny_unknown_fields), no longer used; docs/skins.md says so.
