Description Salvatore Iovene 2008-06-02 13:43:43 UTC 
The names of the devices, when trying to select your phone via bluetooth, are not shown. The list only shows many "n/a" entries, so that it's impossible to find out what my phone is.
Comment 1 Bastien Nocera 2008-06-02 13:52:32 UTC 
Which version of gnome-bluetooth and libbtctl are you using? Any errors on the command-line?
Comment 2 Salvatore Iovene 2008-06-02 14:08:29 UTC 
I didn't have gnome-bluetooth installed at all. If it's a dependency, then perhaps the debian package should have the dependency defined.

Anyway, after further testing, it looks like that _REALLY SLOWLY_ only _some_ of the names of the phones start to be resolved.

Hitting on "Refresh" in the "Select device" dialog will freeze the UI for a long while.

I have now installed gnome-bluetooth 0.9.1-1.
The version of libbtctl4 is 0.9.0-2+b1.
