I've got a ZelHer P20 headset and a W520 Lenovo laptop, the same problem occurs.
What I observed is that during the first 60 seconds of activating the P20 headset, running bt-adapter -d will display the Name: (null) and in the bluetooth-wizard, it only shows the bt address (mac-like format). After about 60 seconds of the headset in pairing mode, re-running bt- adapter-d, the name field is now populated. After the name field is present, pairing can be complete. So, while clearly gnome-bluetooth should handle the case where name is null, there may be a workaround if you can keep your device in pairing mode long enough so that the name of the adapter appears. -- 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/1080656 Title: bluetooth-wizard crashes when the name of a discovered device is NULL To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-nexus7/+bug/1080656/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
