Slightly different symptoms for me. I try to connect via bluetooth to a Nokia N900 phone (which worked in Ubuntu 11.04). The pairing of devices works in 11.10 (get the same 6-digit number on both devices, confirm and it succeeds). Browsing from ubuntu 11.10 of the files on the N900 fails with no cpu-hogging.
dmesg gives this line: [ 1481.174050] bluetooth-apple[2331]: segfault at 80 ip 00007fa721349cf4 sp 00007fffa8da0dc0 error 4 in libgnome- bluetooth.so.8.0.0[7fa721339000+1a000] -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-bluetooth in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/841362 Title: [regression oneiric] Impossible to connect to bluetooth devices, bluetooth-applet goes to 100% CPU To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-bluetooth/+bug/841362/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
