Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: bluetooth
RELATED BUGS - This bug is possibly related - but not the same as -
#283064, #292030 and others mentioning problems in connecting devices to
computer via bluetooth.
TESTING - This bug has been verified on two machines, both of them
running on Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex 8.10 x64 (one with AMD and one with
Intel chipsets), connecting with different BlueTooth adapters to
different devices (Nokia 5300 and PalmOne Tungsten T5).
DESCRIPTION - Bluetooth adapter is properly recognised in all cases, and I can
access the "preference" tab and configure various parameters. There are then a
number of possibilities on different stages of process:
1) Visibility: while the computer is consistently always visible to the
devices, the devices are visible to the computer only "at times".
2) Pairing: pairing never works when launched from the computer. It *sometimes*
works when initiated from the device. Once the device is in the list of "known
devices", pairing *never happens*, even if I remove the computer from the list
of paired items on the device.
3) Sending files (via OBEX push). This has *never* happened, in either way.
4) Browsing files on the device from the computer: this has happened only once
and I could not reproduce the behaviour although I tried various times. The
only time I succeded, I managed to download 2 megs of pics from the telephone
at about 50 K/s. After that, I closed the nautilus windows with the "browsed
directory" and I could not reopen it anymore.
COMMON ERROR MESSAGES - (Translated back into English from i18n):
1) When trying to browse the files on the device: "It is impossible to show
obex://[my-id-device-here]/ - Error: connexion to the device lost - Choose
another viewer(?) and retry.
2) When trying to send files to the device: "An error has occurred:
org.openobex.Error.Cancelled"
I am positive the device are OK as I can exchange files and data between
them without problems. I am positive the BT adapters work as they work
when attached to XP machines.
