I got the signal 5 crash the first time I attempted to connect my Logitech MX1000 bluetooth mouse (using Bluetooth -> Preferences -> Services-> Input Service->Add->Connect). However I tried a second time (without rebooting) and to my delight it worked fine, including having it magically start working as a display input device. Have to find out how that works, used to have to edit xorg.conf. I also uploaded the crash report but don't know how to attach (could have cut and pasted from the crash report window I suppose but did not think of it then). I had just done a package update and reboot though so the versions should be the latest today. I am using a Dell Inspiron 6400 with nvidia drivers. This was in /var/log/messages but I assume that it was from the second working attempt: Mar 11 13:13:34 john-laptop kernel: [ 2464.967486] Bluetooth: HIDP (Human Interface Emulation) ver 1.2 Mar 11 13:13:34 john-laptop kernel: [ 2464.968271] input: Logitech MX1000 mouse as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.3/usb4/4-2/4-2.1/4-2.1:1.0/hci0/acl0007617FD71A/input/input10 This extract from syslog might be to do with the crash and later successful attempt: Mar 11 13:10:30 john-laptop audio[7504]: /org/bluez/audio: org.bluez.audio.Manager.ListDevices() Mar 11 13:10:30 john-laptop input[7510]: /org/bluez/input: org.bluez.input.Manager.ListDevices() Mar 11 13:10:56 john-laptop NetworkManager: [1205201456.526536] nm_hal_device_added(): New device added (hal udi is '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/bluetooth_acl_7617fd71a').
