blueman-applet crashed with DBusException in call_blocking()

Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!

I experienced this crash after installing Xubuntu Oneiric Ocelot using the AMD64 Alternate image dated 2011-09-29. I did not have this same crash with the installations using the AMD64 Desktop image.

Unfortunately, once it crashed, it now crashes on every login.

This bug should be fixed now since bzr revision 713

So, after bug is fixed update should follow?

As shown by the recent duplicates, this crash has been happening a lot. Is more testing needed before the committed fix is released? Is there anything we can do to help testing, besides just enabling oneiric-proposed?

i am using ubuntu 11.10 32 bit with iso mounted on to a usb drive.

I am facing the same problem with my bluetooth headset which was working perfectly in 11.04.

This happens after pairing the device.. So I am forced to re-discover the device on every reboot.

My kernel version: 3.0.0-13-generic
bluez package package version: 4.96-0ubuntu4
pulse audio package version: 1:1.0-0ubuntu3.1

This certainly doesn't seem fixed given the number of duplicates and the fact that some are still coming in from Oneiric systems.

happend today after the updating Precise the package Bluez

It seems that blueman crashes when bluetooth USB-dongle isn't present. Precise.

.. and again while updating blueman.

Precise is living in Virtualbox and has NO bluetooth device!

I'm running Xubuntu 32 bits.

Got this report after stopping the bluetooth Upstart service (I'm not using bluetooth) and disabling bluetooth in right upper corner in a Gnome session.

it happened 2 times when i was updating. only this report occured nothing more nothing less.

i am using ubuntu 12.04 beta.

This is in universe, so not the Canonical Desktop team's responsibility. This is fixed upstream, we just need to update to the latest release.

I had recently installed 12.04 xubuntu alpha-2 and upgraded to today (beta-1 +). I was investigating Bug #949482 and testing keyboard layouts, and then updated the system with apt-get, when this happened.

Ubuntu version and kernel version
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=12.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=precise

Linux compaq 3.2.0-18-generic #28-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 2 20:02:50 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Bug popped up while running Update Manager.

I'm hopping the updates are not installed wrong...

Bug appeared after update.
Xubuntu Precise.

Crashed appeared during an apt-get update of 12.04
working on Ubuntu 2D

apparently the update reactivated the bluetooth (disconnected before the update), so the crash occured

same as Dmitry #19

notification appeared during a synaptic upgrade session of 12.4

Same as Dmitry #19 for me too. Xubuntu 12.04 32 bit, doing an update

Affects: Lubuntu precise-desktop-powerpc.iso 20120312, fresh install, applied updates via "Update Manager" bluetooth updates downloading, then crash.
Occured on eMac G4 800 MHz, 1 GB RAM, 80 GB HD

this happened to me...Xubuntu 12.04, updated from 11.10 about a week ago (didn't happen until an update this morning, though), 64 bits, doing an upgrade through Synaptic.

Got at Xubuntu 12.04 while I was trying update system.

I also had this issues on Xubuntu 12.04 when trying to apply updates.

(Brief tech spec: 64-bit, i5-2500k, 8GB ram, ATI 6870, OCZ Agility3)

ubuntu 12.04:

it's curious it crashed. i don't dispose of any connected bluetooth receiver.
i use to connect a bluetooth usb dongle, but it wasn't connected when the crashreport came up, not even connected since i upgraded to 12.04.

I don't use bluetooth at all. I would know how deactivate it.

I've just installed 12.04 Beta1 32bit in virtualbox (64 bit 10.04 system).
I got the error message during apt-get upgrade. I used synaptic to download the updates (342 of them).
I then did the upgrade from the keyboard. This appears to have worked as I have just been advised to restart firefox.

 Xubuntu 12.04, bluetooth USB dongle currently not plugged in, no bluetooth activity.

I have a bluetooth adapter attached to my USB port. I am updating my 12.04 Beta1 Precise Lubuntu but in the Update Manager it has the date right but is calling it still Alpha.

This bug was fixed in the package blueman - 1.23-0ubuntu1

blueman (1.23-0ubuntu1) precise; urgency=low

This bug always occurs during Updates when asking for Distributioin Update

still the problem on 12.04 with xubuntu, even after updates

I'm still seeing it on xubuntu 12.04 too, with all updates.

Actually I've seen it on every xubuntu 12.04 install I've done, which is dozens of machines, both desktop and laptops, and in dozens of xubuntu installs to VMs.

Usually I just uninstall the package and be done with it, but the laptop I'm seeing the crash on today has bluetooth and I'd like to use it.

It has blueman package version 1.23-0ubuntu2.1.

The error title is the same DBusException in call_blocking(): but with "org.openobex.Error.InvalidArguements: Invalid path"

it also says it's a duplicate of bug #433741, but that bug report can't be found. (huh?)

thanks,

I've solved this issue by installing python-gconf.

Declined for Oneiric as EOL.

The python-gocnf is installed in precise, but still happening here at login time.

:-(
