Details

Description:
Both my mobile and laptop are able to 'see' each other as you can see below.
But both them can link each other just for 2 or 3 seconds then loss the link.
I can not sent photos from mobile to laptop, conversely, I can sent files from laptop to mobile.

Why? And Help needed.

Thanks a lot.

Excuse me, is there a bug here? Isn't that a case for the forums?

oops, sorry, Thomas, I was too quick because it's just one of 100 reports I've edited today

The bug seems to me to be in the bluetooth-applet behaviour: what's that "Invalid path" of obex and ftp? Probaby it is looking for the path where the executables were in previous versions of the core bluetooth packages.

[zhangjing@Archlinux007 ~]$ bluetooth-applet
Bluetooth OBEX start failed: Invalid path
Bluetooth FTP start failed: Invalid path

That's where the problem is. I looked at the source code of bluetooth-applet and found that it uses the values of XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIRECTORY and XDG_PUBLICSHARE_DIR in order to start the File Recieve service (OBEX) and the FTP service respectively. But it doesn't check to see if these directories are not set. I've attached a patch (for bluetooth-applet) which will set these directories to /home/user/Desktop for OBEX and /home/user/ for FTP. This will allow bluetooth-applet to start the file receiving service. (Tested and it works for me)

Alternatively, in order to be able to recieve files, you may even use gnome-obex-server (provided by gnome-bluetooth). Just run gnome-obex-server and your computer should be able to recieve files.

that doesnt work for me...
i get this
conn_request: bdaddr 00:18:8D:42:20:EF
conn_complete: status 0x00
Comment by Priyank M. Gosalia (priyank) - Friday, 09 May 2008, 15:14 GMT
Well, then try bluetooth-applet with the patch.

I tried to recompile the bluez-gnome with the attached patch, that corrected the 'invalid path' message but I still get the 'conn_complete: status 0x00' message. Any hints?
Comment by Alessio Bianchi (Venator85) - Wednesday, 21 May 2008, 10:24 GMT
Any news on the 'conn_complete: status 0x00' bug?
Should I open a new bug ticket?
Bye ;)

still nothing on this one...obex data server still not updated..soo..i guess its just to wait...
Comment by Alessio Bianchi (Venator85) - Wednesday, 21 May 2008, 17:22 GMT
I attached the updated PKGBUILDs for the following packages:
obex-data-server 0.3.1
bluez-gnome 0.26
bluez-libs 3.32
bluez-utils 3.32
This way I'm able to send and receive files from phones to PC and vice-versa.
Cheers ;)

There will be a new Bluetooth Maintainer soon.
Comment by Giorgio Lando (patroclo7) - Friday, 05 December 2008, 13:09 GMT
Good news! The bluetooth stuff is often in a bad condition (only seldom - say - bluez, the gnome stuff, obexftp and blueman work nicely together), so I hope that the new maintainer improves this situation
