I have this crach when I turn off bluetooth and wlan with the switch on my dell m1330, when I reactivated them, the bluetooth-applet doesn't come back

This seems a similar problem to the one I am experiencing in 8.04 Alpha 5; when I plug in a bluetooth dongle the bluetooth applet is started and the icon appears in the notification area, when the dongle is disconnected the applet crashes rather than simply shutting down gracefully.

Same here with Alpha 6

I saw a similar crash coming back from suspend with an up-to-date Hardy system

Patch from upstream bug which apparently fixes this issue

The patch was committed upstream, so we're likely to see it on Ubuntu eventually.

Could someone try the attached patch if it fixes the issue as I'm unable to reproduce this. Patch applies cleanly with hardy's bluez-gnome 0.23-0ubuntu3.

It could also make sense to upgrade to the newest upstream version (0.25) with FFe as changes have been relatively small, only translation updates and bugfixes - including fix for this issue.

Got crash when turned off "wireless tumbler" on Dell 1520 laptop.

I experienced also a crash returning from hibernation.

Crash on T42 when switching radio off and than on with Fn-F5 key combo

Crash on Compaq 6710b when is machine whole night hibernated. When I try hybernat for a moment, applet dont crash.

Return from suspend but also while pairing. Worked fine before upgrade Dell D820

Matti: I can confirm that the attached patch fixes the problem on my Thinkpad X41 (using thinkpad_acpi to enable/disable the built-in bluetooth adapter, which makes it appear/disappear on the USB bus)

I cannot confirm. Ive crash after patch henceforward. Compaq 6710b

I uploaded bluez-gnome 0.25 to my PPA, could someone give it a spin if it fixes this issue? We could still get this fixed for Hardy.

URL for the ppa is:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/mlind/ubuntu hardy main

The 0.25 package fixes the problem for me.

It still seems to be doing the same thing for me.

sorry wrong bug.

Matti, I've just tried out the new package from your PPA. I tried the following:

1) Just plugging in and removing bluetooth dongle

2) Plugging in dongle and using Multisync to synchronise Evolution and phone

3) Plugging in dongle, browsing phone memory card, unmounting phone, then removing dongle

4) Plugging in dongle, browsing phone memory card, severing connection by removing dongle without unmounting phone

In all cases the applet closes gracefully, whereas in 3) and 4) with the older package the applet would crash. Also the applet opens again without any issues when the dongle is reinserted.

Thank you!

This bug was fixed in the package bluez-gnome - 0.25-0ubuntu1
