obexftp does not work in hardy + gvfs

[Nicolò Chieffo]

Binary package hint: gnome-vfs-obexftp

I'm using Hardy.
Since the update to nautilus-gvfs this package does not work anymore. we need gvfs-obexftp!

Missing GVFS backend != Gnome-vfs-* bug.

[A. Walton (awalton)]

To explain more; Gnome-VFS has been replaced by GVFS, and the Obex-FTP backend is in progress, but not finished for GVFS as of yet. This is a known upstream issue, and is being worked on.

Thanks for your report.

Can anyone check is bug 148712 is related or if this is a duplicate of it?

[Fabián Rodríguez (magicfab)]

Thank you Alex, I marked it as dupl. after reading all comments. 7.10 ships whith a dependency bug, people with 8.04 dev versions apply the workaround (installing gnome-vfs-obexftp) thinking it solves it without knowing the backend is not implemented yet because of the (unfinished) migrations from Gnome VFS to gvfs.

Fabián Rodríguez : I believe that the duplicate status is wrong. People have Couldn't display "obex://[00:17:e4:3c:43:39]". Check if the service is available. error and problems with pairing devices, they don't have Couldn't display "obex://[00:0F:DE:F8:B5:8C]/". Nautilus cannot handle obex: locations. Only the last comment is related to bug 186973, all others are issues to connect to a obex device when gnome-vfs-obexftp is already installed in Gutsy. However, you might want to erase all bugs that looks like this one but I believe that you just marked a false duplicate.

[Fabián Rodríguez (magicfab)]

Saivann and all:
Please do read the original bug report description and title. This is indeed a duplicate. If you have different issues, please open another bug report and make your point there.

Fixed in gvfs upstream, but write support still missing. Changing linked bug to the new one http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=519071

This bug was fixed in the package gvfs - 0.1.8svn20080228-0ubuntu1

---------------
gvfs (0.1.8svn20080228-0ubuntu1) hardy; urgency=low

  * SVN snapshot version:
    - new ftp backend, the code is still quite new and has issues though
      (lp: #188791)
  * debian/control.in:
    - build-depends on libdbus-glib-1-dev, libxml2-dev, libexpat1-dev,
      libbluetooth-dev since the new version requires those

gvfs (0.1.8svn20080227-0ubuntu1) hardy; urgency=low

  * SVN snapshot version:
    - new obexftp backend (lp: #186973)

Thanks for all the work on this. Tested today, gvfsd-obexftp crash we used with nautilus in my case, see bug 196771 for more information.

I have the same problem and am monitoring this bug for any progress...
