Description Angelos Skembris 2011-03-18 01:48:46 UTC
Version:           4.6 (using KDE 4.6.0) 
OS:                Linux

I recently installed OpenSUSE 11.4. I have an MSI USB-bluetooth adapter which I have used in the past succesfully using Kbluetooth in OpenSUSE 11.3 and KDE 4.4.4. Now, in 11.4 (KDE 4.6) when I connect the adapter the bluedevil icon appears in the system tray. After connecting the phone (LG GC900) via bluetooth and authentication, when I select the phone from the tray panel and choose "Send Files", the dialog box opens up, I select the files but nothing happens. I get a notification concerning the file transfer but the percentage bar remains at 0 and the file is not transfered. The phone's bluetooth icon also does not change to the "transferring file" icon. I can browse the files using dolphin's obexftp extension, though, and I am able to copy and paste the file using that, which is a convenient workaround, so something must be going on with the tray app. I have no idea which logs to post to help out, here is the output of "rpm -aq | grep blue":

bluedevil-1.0.2-3.8.1.x86_64
libbluetooth3-4.88-2.1.x86_64
pulseaudio-module-bluetooth-0.9.22-6.9.1.x86_64
bluez-4.88-2.1.x86_64
libbluedevil1-1.8-3.1.x86_64
bluez-firmware-1.2-132.1.x86_64



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Insert USB bluetooth adapter.
2. Turn on bluetooth on phone.
3. Send file using tray icon of BlueDevil via: LG GC900 > Send files
4. Select file and send.

Actual Results:  
The progress bar of the notification icon comes up but remains at 0%. The phone does not receive the file.

Expected Results:  
The file should have been transferred. 

The problem persists even after successfully transferring a file using Dolphin. 
Also, sorry about posting here, I was not able to find a relevant category in the list.

Update: The program will work fine if I install the obexd-client package, so I believe it's only a matter of changing the requirements of the bluedevil package to include the necessary obex packages. My apologies, there was a relevant entry in the OpenSUSE forums which I had failed to notice.

Thanks to report anyway, openSUSE masters are going to fix all bluedevil issues shortly.
