gnome-vfs-obexftp and SE K750i

[Michael Monreal]

After reading the blog¹ I tried the latest gnome-vfs-obexftp again with my Sony Ericsson K750i.
It still doesn't work, see screenshot for what nautilus shows... I also got the mentioned
information from the obexftp command line app. Any idea what's wrong here?

Interesting. The screenshot seems to indicate that we are always getting root directory listings. Could you try the following command and attach the output?

    obexftp --bluetooth $BDADDR --chdir "Memory Stick" --list ""

That is, do a chdir to a folder, then list it. This is closer to what the obex method code is doing.

This is the output:

$ obexftp --bluetooth $BDADDR --chdir "Memory Stick" --list ""

That is bizarre. It looks like your phone is acting correctly judging by the obexftp output.

What version of gnome-vfs-obexftp are you running? Does killing gnome-vfs-daemon (where libobex.so gets loaded) help? What sort of output do you get from the command line gnome-vfs tools?

    gnomevfs-ls 'obex://[00:12:EE:6E:E0:E4]/'
    gnomevfs-ls 'obex://[00:12:EE:6E:E0:E4]/Memory%20Stick/'
    gnomevfs-ls 'obex://[00:12:EE:6E:E0:E4]/Memory%20Stick/DCIM/'
    gnomevfs-ls 'obex://[00:12:EE:6E:E0:E4]/Phone%20memory/'

    gnomevfs-info 'obex://[00:12:EE:6E:E0:E4]/Memory%20Stick/DCIM/'

[Michael Monreal (mimox)]

The first four all produce this:

Phone memory (Directory, x-directory/normal) size 0 mode 0777
Memory Stick (Directory, x-directory/normal) size 0 mode 0777

The last one: "Error: File not found"

I'm currently using the latest release of gnome-vfs-obexftp (0.4). Killing gnome-vfs-daemon didn't change anything.

[James Henstridge (jamesh)]

Okay, these tests and the screenshot indicate that the problem is in the folder listing rather than the actual directory traversal. It manages to change to the directory fine (evidenced by the fact that gnomevfs-ls could list DCIM), but the root directory is always returned.

From your initial screenshot, the reason we don't get infinite recursion is that e.g. there is no "/Memory Stick/Memory Stick" directory to list. If you created such a directory, then we'd get an extra level of dirs in the listing.

The final gnomevfs-info command is implemented by listing "/Memory Stick" then looking for the "DCIM" entry (which doesn't show up due to the folder listing being broken).

I have the same problem on a K600i, without any spaces in the directory names either.

obexftp works fine.

I'm seeing very similar issues with a SE K750i.

nautilus browses the phone fine but eog etc. just report the following when I try to open an image from nautilus:

No images found in 'obex://[00:11:22:33:44:55]/Memory%20Stick/DCIM/100MSDCF/DSC00138.JPG'

If I then close nautilus (thus closing the bluetooth connection) and just run eog with the same url (or even just reopen it from the eog launched from nautilus), it works fine.

There seems to be a problem relating to nautilus still being running, which in turn seems to keep a bluetooth connection open.

Closing the connection (the device lets me do this) then seems to allow access to the file via obex.

Meant to mention in that post that I'm running on Dellbuntu 8.0.4 on a Dell Mini 9, with gnome-vfs-obexftp 0.4-1.
