[Lucid] Bluetooth Send To hangs on connecting

[KevinM]

Binary package hint: gnome-bluetooth

Reporting via gnome bluetooth manual (yelp selected as package by default but believe it's gnome-bluetooth. Software versions: gnome-bluetooth 2.28.1-0ubuntu2, bluez and bluetooth 4.51-0ubuntu2. I've paired my phone with the PC by clicking on the Bluetooth Applet and selecting 'Set up new device'. The phone and PC connect and I can browse the device. If I use 'Send To' from either Nautilus or by right-click the Bluetooth Applet, I get the messagebox that the PC is connecting and then the PC just sits there (see attached). I get no message on the phone (SE K800i).
If I browse the phone and my source PC folder, with Nautilus, I can copy and paste the file to my phone.

Only the default packages are installed (the ones that are supplied with the current kernel(s)).

Tried bluetooth today after a lucid upgrade of obex-data-server 0.4.4-2build1 to 0.4.5-1. 'Send To' works on the second attempt at sending a file to the phone (K800i). The first attempt fails and times out. Subsequent attempts work fine for both Nautilus and the Bluetooth Applet.

Hello KevinM

Do you still experience the same problem on normal lucid installation?
Could you also test with the obexd-client 022 I have in my ppa? and tell me if that fix the issue?

thanks a lot.

[KevinM (kevbert1)]

With the current version of Lucid I still get theproblem but now get the following screen (attached). I can still cut and paste. Will try your obex file and post back shortly.

[KevinM (kevbert1)]

Just added your PPA, updated and installed obexd-client 0.22 (plus bluez and all other PPA packages) and rebooted.
Tried again and get the same message (as in #5). Can still cut and paste though. Funnily enough if I click on the bluetooth applet I get a menu that suggests the phone is disconnected (see attached) but I'm still able to get and delete files from the phone without doing anything apart from using Nautilus.

[Baptiste Mille-Mathias (bmillemathias)]

Coukd you run the following command in a terminal and tell me if it outputs some error:
$ bluetooth-sendto ----device=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX (XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX is your device address)
and select the file to send.
Are you sure your remote device support receiving files?
What does return "hcitool info XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX"

Thanks

The phone supports receiving files over bluetooth v2.0 - it's a SonyEricsson K800i (I've previously worked for SonyEricsson and Ericsson). I have an HTC Monet phone which I know does not support receiving files. SendTo has been very problematic in the past (see Bug #294617 which was reported using the same K800i).

and could you run also /usr/share/doc/obexd-client/examples/send-files 00:1E:DC:86:44:2D your-file
and see if it output something?.

About the comment #6

Could you report this to https://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=gnome-bluetooth (upstream bug system)

Thanks

We finally have something that might help...
