[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1694455] Re: Bluetooth: Cannot receive files
Staying on gnome-control-center bluetooth pane while receiving file works too. When so dbus session show it registers itself to obexd RegisterAgent with '/org/gnome/share/agent'. As soon as we exit the gnome-control-center bluetooth pane it unregister itself and stop advertising itself as org.bluez.obex.Agent1 on the dbus session bus. obexd thus fails as no agent is available. part 2 is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-bluetooth/+bug/1645631 though me might want to keep it there as there are 4 different issues in this previous report. My test shown that when I was with an agent the file goes temporarily to $HOME/.cache/obexd/ then to the Downloads folder. So I do not confirm the bug reports 1645631 findings. This refutes the root folder is not correct issue (dbus monitor shows the same cache dir with or without an agent). gnome-file-share-properties is still available in gnome-user-share on ubuntu. As you shown it registers itself and stays available to the obex server obexd. So it is a correct workaround. But it might go away like it did in debian. A fix upstream is more than wanted. Mostly an agent that runs session wide not gnome-control-center a bluetooth pane that is never active except when pairing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to bluez in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1694455 Title: Bluetooth: Cannot receive files Status in bluez package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in gnome-bluetooth package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: # Use case Ubuntu 17.04, quite fresh installation, updated.

Mai 30 14:47:55 tp obexd[8168]: OBEX daemon 5.43 ``` 2. OBEX silently fails After having OBEX enabled, I was able to transmit files from laptop to smartphone, yet I could not receive files on the laptop. In the system log, you could see that OBEX fails (please note `FORBIDDEN`): ``` Mai 30 14:47:55 tp obexd[8168]: OBEX daemon 5.43 Mai 30 14:48:04 tp obexd[8168]: CONNECT(0x0), (null)(0x) Mai 30 14:48:04 tp obexd[8168]: CONNECT(0x0), (null)(0x0) Mai 30 14:48:04 tp obexd[8168]: PUT(0x2), (null)(0x) Mai 30 14:48:04 tp obexd[8168]: PUT(0x2), FORBIDDEN(0x43) Mai 30 14:48:04 tp obexd[8168]: DISCONNECT(0x1), (null)(0x) Mai 30 14:48:04 tp obexd[8168]: DISCONNECT(0x1), SUCCESS(0x20) Mai 30 14:48:04 tp obexd[8168]: disconnected: Transport got disconnected ``` I did not receive a popup notification asking me to receive the file or not. In the file sharing preferences `gnome-file-share-properties`, there is a setting to automatically receive files via bluetooth. With this box checked, you're finally able to receive files from your smartphone. Successful log for comparison: ``` Mai 30 14:55:50 tp obexd[8168]: CONNECT(0x0), (null)(0x) Mai 30 14:55:50 tp obexd[8168]: CONNECT(0x0), (null)(0x0) Mai 30 14:55:50 tp obexd[8168]: PUT(0x2), (null)(0x) Mai 30 14:55:50 tp obexd[8168]: PUT(0x2), CONTINUE(0x10) Mai 30 14:56:28 tp obexd[8168]: DISCONNECT(0x1), (null)(0x) Mai 30 14:56:28 tp obexd[8168]: DISCONNECT(0x1), SUCCESS(0x20) Mai 30 14:56:28 tp obexd[8168]: disconnected: Transport got disconnected ``` # Expected behaviour OBEX is started by default to handle bluetooth file transfers. If no automatic file receipt is configured, a popup notification asks me if I want to receive the file or not. If this is not possible, there should be a notification pointing the user to the configuration.
