[Bug 1284308] Re: Can't copy files from a bluetooth device: Another operation in progress

 

Confirmed on Linux Mint Debian with gvfs 1.22.2. Also, browsing with Thunar is quite sluggish.
 

Workaround for some Nokia (Symbian) phones:


obexfs -b <address> <path>


where <address> is the Bluetooth address of the device and <path> is the directory where you want to mount the device.

No root privileges required. Make sure you own the path, otherwise you
can only access it as root.

Title:
  Can't copy files from a bluetooth device: Another operation in
  progress

Status in gvfs:
  Invalid
Status in gvfs package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  1)  lsb_release -rd
  Description:	Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
  Release:	14.04

  2) apt-cache policy gvfs
  gvfs:
    Installed: 1.20.1-1ubuntu1
    Candidate: 1.20.1-1ubuntu1
    Version table:
   *** 1.20.1-1ubuntu1 0
          500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  3) What is expected to happen is when one pairs their bluetooth phone,
  browses it, and attempt to copy a file from the phone to Ubuntu, it
  does so successfully.

  4) What happens instead is a window pops up noting:
  Error while copying “example.txt”.
  There was an error copying the file into /home/test/
  Show more details
  Another operation in progress

  Originally reproduced in 13.10.

  /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd-obexftp 'host=[XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX]'
  ** Message: transfer of example.txt to /tmp/gvfsobexftp-tmp-NTNMQX started
  ** Message: filename: /Internal storage/Download/example.txt (example.txt) copying to /tmp/gvfsobexftp-tmp-NTNMQX (retval 2)
  ** Message: ChangeCurrentFolderToRoot failed
  ** Message: transfer got cancelled
  ** Message: ChangeCurrentFolderToRoot failed

  WORKAROUND: Connect phone via USB cord to transfer files from the
  phone to Ubuntu.
