Bluetooth file transfer fails everytime.Shows an error message like: " GDBus.Error:org.openobex.Error.Failed:Unable to request session "

[Vishnu PS]

The bluetooth service can add devices, view the files in the device using FTP and even can delete files from it (paired/connected device). But the system bluetooth fails to send or receive files from a device.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

evince is a PDF viewer, so I'm removing it from this report. What tool were you using to do bluetooth? Are you confident your device supports OBEX? (I know at least one cellular carrier disables OBEX to encourage people to send their media via MMS messages. No kidding.)

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop ISO of the development release - Trusty Tahr. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next release of Ubuntu. You can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ . Thanks again and we appreciate your help.
