I've experienced this issue today and possibly come up with a workaround. Ubuntu 12.10 x64. USB bluetooth dongle. Let me know if you need any further hardware info.
Initially, when scanning for devices, some sort of ID of the device was displayed (a hex UID type string). Any time I clicked on this the applet crashed and I saw the crash report for "bluetooth-wizard". I did this a few times, but then I tried again and waited patiently whilst it continued to search for devices. Eventually the hardware ID listed changed into the name of my BT headset. Now when I click to select, and click Continue, I get no error at this point (it doesn't connect to the device in the end, but I'd wager that's a different issue). Hope that's useful to someone. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to 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 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
