Same here on a macbook pro 5.2. Bluetooth worked with my last release (11.10) but now it is completely broken. I can confirm the described behavior.
I can't help observing that with one of the 2009 releases pretty much everything worked perfectly and out of the box. The situation got increasingly worse since 2011. Now the installer needs extra options to make the graphics work during installation, bluetooth doesn't work, installing the nvidia driver didn't work out of the box and I'm still discovering more quirks. I know this is off topic but I feel I have to ventilate my frustration. In 2009 I was up and running in a few hours. With 2012.10 I just started the second day of ironing. *very* frustrating. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-bluetooth in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1059185 Title: bluetooth-wizard doesn't find my devices To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-bluetooth/+bug/1059185/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
