[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1798400]
Noticed that in the forthcoming LibO 24.2, the "remote" is being given prominence, by moving its settings from the Tools ▸ Options ▸ LibreOffice Impress configuration dialog to the Slide Show ▸ Slide Show Settings menu. IMHO this makes it quite important to have this feature working as intended on all the supported platforms. The remote is meant to work either with a WIFI connection or a Bluetooth one. The current bug is about the Bluetooth connection. Bluetooth Connection As of today, because of the issue at hand, the Bluetooth connection is completely unusable on standard Linux distributions that use Pulseaudio (a detailed discussion why is in the previous comments). Notwithstanding the fact that this but is about the Bluetooth connection, I am providing also a few notes about the Wifi connection to highlight why the Bluetooth connection is so important and should be fixed. WIFI Connection --- Unfortunately, the WIFI option is practically unusable in almost every professional working environment, including universities and conferencing sites. This is because in all these environments the network is completely out of the user control, restricted in any possible way, heavily firewalled, with the wifi framework consisting of multiple access points under the same SSID. In a similar arrangement the possibility of the remote to reach LibO at a non-standard TCP port is erratic if not negligible. The impossibility to use the WIFI connection precisely in those real world environments where the usage of the remote would be most important is the reason why a working Bluetooth connection is needed. Note that in practice the WIFI connection situation could be improved by suggesting the possibility to let the presenter laptop connect to the internet via the mobile phone hotspot. This would need the remote app to try to connect to LibO not just via the phone default interface, but also on the network used for the hotspot. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1798400 Title: [upstream] Regression: cannot use impress remote over bluetooth with ubuntu bionic Status in LibreOffice: Confirmed Status in bluez package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in libreoffice package in Fedora: Unknown Bug description: Trying to use the impress remote (https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Impress_Remote) over bluetooth with libreoffice over ubuntu bionic fails.

Noticed that among the many tips of the day, LibO also suggests to use Android or IPhone to remotely control an Impress presentation. The "more info" page then excplicitly declares that the feature is cross platform "GNU/Linux, Windows or macOS." either via Bluetooth or Wifi. However to use the feature with bluetooth on linux has been impossible for the last 5 years, because the feature is broken on this platform (this bug provides a diagnosis of the underlying issue). Using the feature with wifi is equally problematic, because those places where you need to deliver a presentation are typically those very places where you do not control the wifi network that may make it impossible for the computer and the phone to communicate. As a consequence, this tip of the day looks inappropriate on linux, making many users waste a significant amount of time trying to use a feature that simply cannot work. May I suggest removing this tip of the day on linux? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1798400 Title: [upstream] Regression: cannot use impress remote over bluetooth with ubuntu bionic Status in LibreOffice: Confirmed Status in bluez package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in libreoffice package in Fedora: Unknown Bug description: Trying to use the impress remote (https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Impress_Remote) over bluetooth with libreoffice over ubuntu bionic fails.

The bug is still there as of LibO 7.3.x. Up in comment 12 (https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=120663#c12) there is a nice analysis of the underlying problem why the remote cannot work. Established that, I think that most users go used to the fact that the remote functionality does not work in linux. Personally, I have uninstalled the android app on the phone so I do not have an unfortunate reminder about it. In fact, the real issue is probably the advertisement of a functionality that is not there. For the time being I suggest disabling the remote-via-bluetooth functionality in linux and closing the bug by simply saying that the remote via bluetooth cannot be supported on linux where there are evidently issues that span other software pieces such as the bluetooth stack and pulse audio. To the best of my understanding, these involve the hijacking of the default rfcomm channel by pulse audio before it even needs it and the lack of a standard approach to let other applications find a free channel to use and advertise it to their counterparts. Alternatively (but I would not consider this a good solution), the configuration options could be enhanced to add the possibility to choose a bluetooth channel in libreoffice and in the mobile phone application, so that the user can manually work around the fact that the predefined channel is locked by some other application. As a final point, note that even if the remote-via-wifi may seem a good alternative, in fact in most cases it is practically useless. In most cases, presentations will not be given at a place where you control the network, but at sites with site-provided wifi, such as universities, schools, conference places, business sites, etc. All these locations tend to have wifi deployments that block stuff on the ports used by impress remote. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1798400 Title: [upstream] Regression: cannot use impress remote over bluetooth with ubuntu bionic Status in LibreOffice: Confirmed Status in bluez package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in libreoffice package in Fedora: Unknown Bug description: Trying to use the impress remote (https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Impress_Remote) over bluetooth with libreoffice over ubuntu bionic fails.

Bug still there. In most situations the remote cannot be used at all. Not via bluetooth (because of this issue), neither via wifi (because you typically do presentations at sites where you do not control the wifi network and traffic to the relevant ports gets blocked). Suggested upstream some possible solutions including stop advertising the functionality. Consider closing as Wontfix because I think there is really nothing that downstream can do about it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1798400 Title: [upstream] Regression: cannot use impress remote over bluetooth with ubuntu bionic Status in LibreOffice: Confirmed Status in bluez package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in libreoffice package in Fedora: Unknown Bug description: Trying to use the impress remote (https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Impress_Remote) over bluetooth with libreoffice over ubuntu bionic fails.

The premise is that my ignorance on BT is complete. After some investigation, it is my understanding that RFCOMM channels are to RFCOMM communication a bit like ports in TCP and UDP, with the main difference that while there are really a lot of TCP/UDP ports and some of them are reserved as "well known ports", the number of channels in RFCOMM is extremely limited, so that there cannot be well known ports. Furthermore, I understand that no one should "hardwire" RFCOMM channels and that channels should be released whenever not strictly needed. If this understanding from myself is correct, there may be issues both in LibO and in PA. >From my understanding: - LibO and the Impress remote should not hardwire RFCOMM channel 3. I understand that they should dynamically allocate a channel and make it discoverable via SDP. - Impress should not keep binded to an RFCOMM channel all the time. There should be a visible option to switch on and off the binding (probably there should be a couple of impress remote related options in the "Slide Show -> Slide Show Settings" window, including one to fire up the BT rfcomm binding). - PA should probably similarly not hardwire channel 3 for its HSP role, but here the situation seems more complex, because it may be the case that PA needs to strive for compatibility with devices that do not play to the rules. - PA should probably have a DBUS interface to switch on and off the RFCOMM binding, so that to use an application needing RFCOMM channel 3, one does not need to take down the whole of PA. I have opened a bug on PA too. See it at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/issues/827. That report is bad, because when I made it my understanding of BT was even poorer than it is now. In any case, it seems to me that the current issue could be fixed completely on the LibO side, by dynamically allocating the channel and by letting the app running on the phone discover it via SDP. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1798400 Title: [upstream] Regression: cannot use impress remote over bluetooth with ubuntu bionic Status in LibreOffice: Confirmed Status in bluez package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in libreoffice package in Fedora: Unknown Bug description: Trying to use the impress remote (https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Impress_Remote) over bluetooth with libreoffice over ubuntu bionic fails.

This issue was annoying me for a while too. So I sat down and debugged bluez to see why the bind fails: LO is using the default channel (3) for the RFCOMM protocol as it should be. However, the bind call fails, because another process has already bound that channel via DBUS. Changing the default RFCOMM channel in the bluez source temporaliy to 2 (UDP, unused) and recompiling bluez made remote impress work immediately! So I inspected the DBUS users via the old mdbus tool from openmoko and it turned out that the other process is PulseAudio: The HS profile needs the RFCOMM for the AT Commands and registers channel 3. Stop PA and impress remote works again. So now we have two programs that need RFCOMM for the mobile phone. :-( One solution would be that LO explicitly requests channel 2 instead of the default one.

Thanks for the analysis! >From it, I still wonder whether this is a pulseaudio bug, though. Why is pulseaudio ever binding to RFCOMM channel 3 *before* there is any need to do so? That is, until I am not connected to any device using channel 3, why is pulseaudio already using it up? In other words, it seems reasonable to me to have the laptop connected to the phone as a headset and in this case not to have the impress remote working. But in case I start impress before setting up a bluetooth connection to the phone, why should be the pulseaudio binding already there? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1798400 Title: [upstream] Regression: cannot use impress remote over bluetooth with ubuntu bionic Status in LibreOffice: Confirmed Status in bluez package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in libreoffice package in Fedora: Unknown Bug description: Trying to use the impress remote (https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Impress_Remote) over bluetooth with libreoffice over ubuntu bionic fails.

Here is a link to the code (& log) regarding the impress remote project: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/impress_remote/ I have a presentation upcoming in three days and really would have liked to use the remote feature to impress/wow the audience. There's not enough time for me to dig into the code and try to determine the state of bluetooth vis-a-vis Android and Impress. Looks like something that might require 10-20 hours to master just to assess. Agree: it doesn't behoove the project to advertise features which may not work, e.g. remote impress.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1798400]
Issue persists with current LibO 6.3.1.2 and most likely due to the fact that the bluetooth stack on linux (bluez) has changed in the past years and impress has not cought up. Problem is now more visible due to the startup tooltips in Impress 6.3.x which explicitly introduce the impress remote functionality inviting the users to test it. Goes like: start Impress -> see tooltip -> get interested -> download and install phone app -> try -> fail -> get disappointed and remove phone app. Because the phone based remote is one of those little things with a great wow factor that makes LibO really shine out and amaze people when used in front of an audience, it would really be great if the functionality could be restored. It is literally a little big thing helping getting a foot in the door. In fact, I suppose that if one could also add a "spotlight" and "zoom" functionality in it (in addition to the pointer) and the ability to use the phone accelerometers for moving the pointer (in place of the finger on the screen) it would make LibO a serious contender for all those coveting the "Logitech spotlight" that is currently the hot thing in presentations selling for over $100.

I am 100% sure that in the past the impress remote was working via bluetooth on the same hardware (both computer and handset). It is unclear to me if the issue is with the bluetooth stack of recent linux distros (bluez? kernel?) or if something has changed in it and LibO is trying to still use it in some old way that is now wrong.

To replicate: 1) Install Libreoffice on Ubuntu bionic (either from the ubuntu repo or with the deb packages from the document fundation) 2) Assure that your computer has bluetooth 3) Install impress remote on an android handset (either from the play store of via fdroid) 4) Assure that "remote control" is enabled in impress Tools>Options>Impress>General 5) Pair the bluetooth adapters in the laptop and in the computer 6) Open a presentation on the laptop 7) Open the remote on the handset, got to the bluetooth pane see the computer there, touch it 8) See the impress remote erroring out Most likely you will also get a bluetooth error on dmesg RFCOMM server failed for LibreOffice Impress Remote: rfcomm_bind: Address already in use (98) Same issue was reported for fedora ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 Package: bluez 5.48-0ubuntu3.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.15.0-36.39-generic 4.15.18 Uname: Linux 4.15.0-36-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.4 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: KDE Date: Wed Oct 17 16:57:29 2018 EcryptfsInUse: Yes InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-12-12 (1769 days ago) InstallationMedia: Kubuntu 13.10 "Saucy Salamander" - Release amd64 (20131016.1) InterestingModules: rfcomm bnep btusb bluetooth MachineType: Notebook W740SU ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-4.15.0-36-generic root=/dev/mapper/zagar_ssd--vg-root ro quiet splash resume=/dev/zagar_ssd-vg/swap_1 acpi_backlight=vendor vt.handoff=1 SourcePackage: bluez UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to bionic on 2018-06-08 (131 days ago) dmi.bios.date: 10/02/2013 dmi.bios.vendor: American Megatrends Inc. dmi.bios.version: 4.6.5 dmi.board.asset.tag: Tag 12345 dmi.board.name: W740SU dmi.board.vendor: Notebook dmi.board.version: Not Applicable dmi.chassis.asset.tag: No Asset Tag dmi.chassis.type: 9 dmi.chassis.vendor: Notebook dmi.chassis.version: N/A dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnAmericanMegatrendsInc.:bvr4.6.5:bd10/02/2013:svnNotebook:pnW740SU:pvrNotApplicable:rvnNotebook:rnW740SU:rvrNotApplicable:cvnNotebook:ct9:cvrN/A: dmi.product.family: Not Applicable dmi.product.name: W740SU dmi.product.version: Not Applicable dmi.sys.vendor: Notebook hciconfig: hci0:Type: Primary Bus: USB BD Address: 00:C2:C6:1A:28:71 ACL MTU: 310:10 SCO MTU: 64:8 UP RUNNING PSCAN ISCAN RX bytes:245088 acl:15156 sco:0 events:1266 errors:0 TX bytes:15571 acl:402 sco:1 commands:131 errors:0 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/df-libreoffice/+bug/1798400/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
