bluetooth-applet crashed with SIGSEGV in g_type_check_instance_is_a() after pairing with a bluetooth device

[Jens Janssen]

Binary package hint: gnome-bluetooth

Bug occurs only after pairing a bluetooth device (mouse, A2DP, ...). Also after rejecting or granting access bluetooth-applet stops working.

Devices are working even after crash of the bluetooth-applet.

This bug is easily reproducible on up-to-date maverick. Just pair with a bluetooth mouse. It seems that libdbusmenu is really to blame but I'd need to look at the code to be sure.

[Bastien Nocera (hadess-deactivatedaccount)]

The bug has been filed many times upstream, and people are blaming gnome-bluetooth:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=634542

Sort it out.

[Brian J. Murrell (brian-interlinx)]

Uhm, hello Ubuntu devs? This is not just a problem with gnome-bluetooth but also with virt-manager. It's most annoying to have to keep restarting virt-manager every time you start and stop virtual machines!

As Bastien Nocera says, this a problem in Ubuntu only and requires that Ubuntu fix it, not wait for upstream to fix! Please attend to this ASAP!

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

could you try if that's still an issue in the current version?

[Teodor Jönsson (jnsson-deactivatedaccount)]

First, I don't have that computer more

This version has expired long ago; no more supported

Indeed! This bug was reported over 5 years ago and never got any more attention than "is it working now?".
