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

 

I have done many file sending tests from Ubuntu Oneiric to various OS/devices, using the /usr/share/doc/obexd-client/examples/send-files script found in the obexd-client package. The command used is
  # /usr/share/doc/obexd-client/examples/send-files <bluetooth_device> <file>

Devices used for receiving files include:
  1. Macbook running OS X 10.5
  2. Windows 7 notebook
  3. Nokia E70 phone running S60 v3
  4. Nexus One phone running Android 2.3.6
  5. Tablet running Android 4.0.3
  6. Ubuntu netbook running Netbook Remix 10.10

Sending to devices 1, 2 and 3 always succeed [1] (tested more than 10 times per device).
Sending to devices 4, 5 and 6 always have the failure symptom that the first time running the command exits with "Connection refused (111)" error [2]. Running the command immediately again has the same result. Running the command once again will result in a successful file transfer, same as [1]. Subsequent transfers will be successful, until the command is not run for some time, like 10 seconds. After that, the failure symptom will appear again.

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
