[Bug 305208] Re: Cannot transfer files between phone and PC through Bluetooth

[Saurav Sengupta]

I have the same problem with Intrepid and it seems to be an upstream bug
- it occurs on Fedora 10 too, haven't tested any other. This hasn't been
corrected in the updates (at least not up to recommended updates; don't
know about pre-release and backports).

I installed obexfs, which makes the problem random, i.e., sometimes the
error occurs, sometimes it doesn't. I usually cannot get it working the
first time I connect a previously unpaired device (any phone). It works
the second time sometimes. This is __with__ obexfs, without it, it
doesn't ever work. With obexfs, it seems to be some sort of timeout or
race condition, but I don't know whether obexfs is actually supposed to
be the solution, because this is an unresolved bug as of now.

IMHO, the old set up with gnome-bluetooth should not have been dumped,
because it worked flawlessly. With the current set up, I can't even send
files via Bluetooth with Nautilus - it reports an error but since the
output is clipped, I can't read it or quote the message here. On the
other hand, gnome-bluetooth no longer works correctly now.
