[Bug 872044] Re: Bluetooth 'Send files' returns permission denied error

 

phcoder, unfortunately, after testing your patches the only thing I
could verify was that the transfers would be failing... slower ;)

As for the other issues, I can easily confirm that some things aren´t
working as well as they could, but on the whole it´s very difficult to
reproduce and to debug since they are no real differences in any debug
message between a failing case and a successful case, that I could find.
Furthermore, transfer do tend to work properly here from the computer to
the phone after a few tries getting "permission denied".

Bluetooth browsing from the computer is definitely broken, that's
already confirmed, and will be addressed separately because it affects
very different packages. at the obex-data-server everything looks okay
for this, but gvfs probably doesn´ t handle it correctly -- this needs a
separate bug report.

Receiving files and browsing from a device appears to work correctly,
can someone please confirm this?

Sending files from a Ubuntu computer is what really tends to be an
issue, and we can probably solve that by debugging the obexd and bluez
code further; so I'll reassign the bug to those packages and mark it as
confirmed -- obex-data-server doesn't have anything to do with file
sending (only receiving).

Bug description:
  Gnome 3 bluetooth manager cannot send files to my HTC Desire phone,
  (or any phone that I could try) Gnome2 bluetooth manager would send
  some form of authorisation request when first sending a file to my
  phone, which i would accept on the phone and then all future files
  could be sent with a simple 'accept?' message on the phone, on any
  gnome3 setup i have tried there is not authorisation request and i
  believe this is what leads to a permission denied error on screen
