Public bug reported: Hello, I tried to pair my HTC-hero (android) phone with my Ubuntu 12.10 laptop. Ubuntu correctly displays the bluetooth applet where I start the "bluetooth-wizard" dialog.
See picture: http://bildr.no/view/1354477 The dialog crashes immediately when I select the HTC-hero device. I think the "bluez" library detects the phone twice, but the Name" field is NULL or empty for the first entry, therefore the dialog seq-faults. $ bluetooth-wizard Segmentation fault (core dumped) Bluez-test-discovery command reports the "HTC hero" device twice. Notice: The first entry is missing "Name =". $ bluez-test-discovery [ 00:41:A5:AA:88:71 ] Paired = 0 LegacyPairing = 0 Alias = 00-22-A5-AA-91-71 Address = 00:22:A5:AA:91:71 RSSI = -68 Class = 0x68020c Trusted = 0 Icon = phone [ 00:41:A5:AA:88:71 ] Name = HTC Hero Paired = 0 LegacyPairing = 0 Alias = HTC Hero Address = 00:22:A5:AA:91:71 RSSI = -68 Class = 0x68020c Trusted = 0 Icon = phone This is a very severe and annoying problem. -------------------------------------------------------------- EDIT: the wizard started to work after my 8'th attempt and one reboot. Now I can select "HTC hero" from the list and then enter the PIN-code. It works right. Bluez-test-discovery command reports now only one single item: $ bluez-test-discovery [ 00:41:A5:AA:88:71 ] Name = HTC Hero Paired = 0 LegacyPairing = 0 Alias = HTC Hero Address = 00:22:A5:AA:91:71 RSSI = -70 Class = 0x68020c Trusted = 0 Icon = phone -------------------------------------------- ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.10 Package: gnome-bluetooth 3.6.0-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.5.0-18.29-generic 3.5.7 Uname: Linux 3.5.0-18-generic i686 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia ApportVersion: 2.6.1-0ubuntu9 Architecture: i386 Date: Sat Dec 29 18:20:46 2012 InstallationDate: Installed on 2012-11-08 (51 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.10 "Quantal Quetzal" - Release i386 (20121017.2) MarkForUpload: True ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: gnome-bluetooth UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: gnome-bluetooth (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug i386 quantal running-unity third-party-packages -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1094522 Title: bluetooth-wizard crashes when selecting a device To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-bluetooth/+bug/1094522/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
