Public bug reported: I want to set up a bluetooth RFCOMM connection between two devices with some script. I use python bluez bindings for that.
I discovered that setting up a server, using the first free channel, won't throw an error but doesn't give me a reliable connection either using some code like provided by http://people.csail.mit.edu/albert/bluez-intro/x232.html with port = bluetooth.PORT_ANY The first free port discovered is port 1. After "playing" around (getting frustrated investigating possible other mistakes or sources of error), I finally set it to port = 5 (some fixed port > 1). It worked. Trying to set up a second server on the same port threw an error. Like it should. After learning about the command "sdptool browse local" i saw, that some DUN service occupied RFCOMM channel 1. But no one threw an error. I did not found a file which set up the DUN service and I don't know a method how to get the process which owns this DUN service or set it up. I think it is an error cause choosing the first free RFCOMM channel should just work and acquiring a already used channel should result in an informative and unique error message. Also it would be nice to know which process set up and owns some bluetooth service. ---- Ubuntu 11.10 $ apt-cache policy bluez bluez-compat bluez-tools bluez-utils python-bluez bluez: Installed: 4.96-0ubuntu4 Candidate: 4.96-0ubuntu4 Version table: *** 4.96-0ubuntu4 0 500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric-updates/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 4.96-0ubuntu3 0 500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/main i386 Packages bluez-utils: Installed: 4.96-0ubuntu4 Candidate: 4.96-0ubuntu4 Version table: *** 4.96-0ubuntu4 0 500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric-updates/universe i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 4.96-0ubuntu3 0 500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/universe i386 Packages python-bluez: Installed: 0.18-1build1 Candidate: 0.18-1build1 Version table: *** 0.18-1build1 0 500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/universe i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status bluez-compat: Installed: (none) Candidate: 4.96-0ubuntu4 Version table: 4.96-0ubuntu4 0 500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric-updates/universe i386 Packages 4.96-0ubuntu3 0 500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/universe i386 Packages bluez-tools: Installed: (none) Candidate: 0.1.38+git662e-2ubuntu1 Version table: 0.1.38+git662e-2ubuntu1 0 500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/universe i386 Packages ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: bluetooth bluez dun rfcomm -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/897255 Title: RFCOMM channel 1 and automatic channel choosing broken cause of DUN To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/897255/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
