[Bug 1284308] Re: Bogus "another operation in progress" error. Can't copy files from a bluetooth device

 

This also affects Ubuntu 14.04 & Ubuntu 14.10 beta as of 11 October
2014. Lubuntu 14.10 beta is also affected, so this seems common to bluez
as well as blueman.

  Bogus "another operation in progress" error. Can't copy files from a

Bug description:
  I have upgraded to Ubuntu 13.10.

  And as usual, with the upgrade, a whole new bluetooth issue, which
  this times makes transferring files from the phone to the computer
  (which already was painful) completely impossible!

  How I reproduce (100% systematic):
  1 - click on the Bluetooth icon in the notification area
  2 - from the dropdown menu, choose "bluetooth settings"
  3 - select the phone among the listed devices
  4 - click on "Browse files"
  5 - A Nautilus windows opens, allowing me to browse files on the phone. Open the DCIM/Camera folder
  6 - Select a couple of files. Either drag and drop them, or copy and then paste them, into a folder on the computer

  => I systematically get an error, but it can be any of the two
  variants shown in the two screenshots (one says there was an error
  copying the file, the other says there was an error getting
  information about the file; in both cases the given reason is "another
  operation in progress". Note also that in one case there is a Retry
  button, in the other there is not - pure nonsense).

  I then "ejected" the phone with  the eject button next to its name in
  Nautilus, and repeated the whole process.

  I randomly get any of three outcomes:
  - the one described above (MOST of the times)
  - at step 4, I get an error "This location could not be displayed. Another operation in progress", so I cannot even browse files
  or
  - at some point (not sure whether it was at step 4 above or when "ejecting" the phone) something CRASHES (I get the usual Ubuntu message informing me of that).
