Comment 181 for bug 211252

First, the device works?
you have bluetooth-applet running?

that is from gnome-bluetooth or bluez-gnome? what version?

now, what bluetooth device? lsusb

"lsof|grep obex-data" for locate the ID of the running server,
obex-data 30028 maximi89 mem REG 8,7 14264 150278 /usr/lib/libgthread-2.0.so.0.2000.3
obex-data 30028 maximi89 mem REG 8,7 744268 150275 /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0.2000.3
obex-data 30028 maximi89 mem REG 8,7 249392 150277 /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0.2000.3
obex-data 30028 maximi89 mem REG 8,7 117348 438349 /lib/ld-2.9.so
obex-data 30028 maximi89 0u CHR 136,1 0t0 4 /dev/pts/1
obex-data 30028 maximi89 1u CHR 136,1 0t0 4 /dev/pts/1
obex-data 30028 maximi89 2u CHR 136,1 0t0 4 /dev/pts/1
obex-data 30028 maximi89 3u unix 0xf5adf980 0t0 125884 socket

"kill 30028" kill the application, now start the server ODS (obex-data-server)
"obex-data-server --no-daemon" now you can monitor ODS (this send only, with some calls of DBUS this can receive files)

You need download the sources from www.bluez.org, you open the folder in terminal, where you put the folder...
what happen if you try this?
"maximi89@Maximiliano:~/obex-data-server-0.4.4$ python test/ods-server-test.py opp /tmp"
you can receive files, that means ODS are ok, the problem is bluetooth-applet, because it only can send files, for receiv needs gnome-user-share, but this are not working yet...

i have installed, gnome-bluetooth 2.27.5-1

i think bluetooth-applet needs to receive files using same ODS, and open any folder using command lines... because all use differents desktop, if you have a old machine, but you use bluetooth, why have installed nautilus? when you use thunar, pcmanfm or any other file manager?...

How you can see, the problem is from bluetooth-applet, because ODS itself can receive and send files, but for receive needs a program for open a session for receive... like we do with "python test/ods-server-test.py opp /tmp" but this is maded from DBUS calls...
Now, the gnome-bluetooth 0.9 have a program gnome-obex-server who are been replaced be bluetooth-applet in version 2.27

Any one questions?
