intrepid regression: bluetooth services without name in tab "Services"

[Baptiste Mille-Mathias]

Under the Services tab of Bluetooth Preferences, only the service "Audio Service" has a label. There are 2 more services without any name displayed.

Unchecking these services (including the audio service) does nothing; the checkbox flickers but remains checked.

the bug still occurs in latest version of bluez-gnome in intrepid

[Craig Ringer (ringerc)]

I'm seeing the same issue on today's Intrepid.

bluez-gnome 0.25-0ubuntu2
gnome-bluetoot 0.11.0-0ubuntu
libbluetooth2 3.36-1

I've just dropped the machine to single user mode, used "apt-get --purge remove" to remove libbluetooth2, bluez-gnome and gnome-bluetooth, cleared out /var/lib/bluetooth/, rebooted the machine, reinstalled the removed packages, then re-tested under a newly created account. All pairing state etc was lost (as would be expected) but the services tab remained broken. It doesn't look like it's an issue with left-over state.

This worked fine for me in Hardy, so it appears to be an Intrepid regression.

[Bart Staal (bart.staal)]

Same problem here: 3 services listed, only the last one has a name ("Audio service"). I messed a little bit with dbus-send:

$ dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.bluez /org/bluez/service_audio org.bluez.Service.GetName
method return sender=:1.110 -> dest=:1.134 reply_serial=2
   string "Audio service"

$ dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.bluez /org/bluez/service_headset org.bluez.Service.GetName
method return sender=:1.110 -> dest=:1.133 reply_serial=2
   string ""

Looks like the bug is not in bluetooth-properties. I didn't investigate anything else yet (and i have about zero knowledge about bluez).

i have also zero knowledge about bluez but I can confirm that this is a regression in intrepid

[Onkar Shinde (onkarshinde)]

I have seen this problem in desktop with English language also. So the problem is neither language specific nor it is UI specific as even dbus query is giving problem.

On a side note, it might be related to the services being split out of main package. Currently only bluez-audio is in main and installed by default. bluez-input, bluez-network, bluez-serial are in universe.

[Baptiste Mille-Mathias (bmillemathias)]

It seems to be fixed in version 0.28 (latest for bluez 3.x).
I build this package in my ppa (https://launchpad.net/~bmillemathias/+archive)

@Baptiste Mille-Mathias

We were planning to update this package today. But we had different plans.

Since you have already created the package we would like to ask a few things if it is not too much trouble.
1. Can you please base your package on the one available in Debian unstable, 0.27-1? It will be a merge + update.
2. Have you verified the hildon patch works? Didn't you need to refresh it?

I am subscribing Emmet Hikory to this bug who is also interested in getting this package updated.

[Baptiste Mille-Mathias (bmillemathias)]

I'll try to look how to do the merge this afternoon, but for the moment at least I can say I didn't touch the hildon patch, but it was applied without trouble

[Baptiste Mille-Mathias (bmillemathias)]

Changing package to bluez-gnome

[Aanjhan Ranganathan (aanjhan)]

i can confirm this bug still in Intrepid Alpha 6.

[Baptiste Mille-Mathias (bmillemathias)]

For thoses interested to test, I made a package of latest bluez-gnome on my ppa,
https://launchpad.net/~bmillemathias/+archive

Test it and tell if it fix the problem for you

[Mario Limonciello (superm1)]

I can confirm the package from Baptiste's PPA resolves this bug.

[fgiust (fgiust)]

after installing the patched packages I have no more unnamed services, but I only have "Audio services" listed.

Is this normal? I expected to see at least "input services" (for my bluetooth mouse :( ) and probably something mode, if I remember well what I had before upgrading to intrepid.

[Baptiste Mille-Mathias (bmillemathias)]

it seems the restart of bluetooth daemon necessary to have the new bluetooth services listed.
I didn't had bluez-input before, I installed it and it was not listed, I restarted bluetooth, and the service was listed then after.

could you confirm on your side?

[fgiust (fgiust)]

> could you confirm on your side?

great, confirmed: "input service" is now listed after a restart

[Mario Limonciello (superm1)]

Yeah, I filed a bug (and patch) about that:

[Pablo Castellano (pablocastellano)]

I don't think that the package of Baptiste is correct.
Here I attach both screenshots (before and after).

Yes, it corrects the main bug: there are no longer empty rows.
But where is the Status column and those checkbox's???

[lirel (m8r-lcodw5)]

this still happens in intrepid beta
but it changed a bit:
now i can see all services but there are still two entrys unnamed

[Mario Limonciello (superm1)]

This should be resolved in the BlueZ Gnome 1.8 package that entered intrepid yesterday.
