Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.7.2) OS: Linux I can pair my iPhone with Bluedevil I can connect with Bluedevil With the system try pop-up, I see my iPhone listed but if I mouse-over, the greyed out message 'No supported services found' appears. Hence I can't use the PAN service or any other service. My Windows laptop appears in the pop-up list and various services are available. My openSUSE laptop also appears, with 'Send files' service available. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Just try to tether. Using sdptool browse <my iPhone addr>, provides a full list of services, first of which is NAP. Results in 'Actual Results'. If I use hciconfig, hcitool, l2ping etc, I get all the expected results which seems to indicate that the Bluetooth stack is working correctly.

When I select this, I would expect to see a wired interface being created and appearing in NetworkManager as bnep0. Connecting to this should give me internet access. But this is only a guess because I can't find any documentation which indicates what should happen, nor can I find an account of a successful iPhone tether. This lack of information is very frustrating. Tried on a Kubuntu netbook and OpenSUSE laptop, details as follows: Netbook: HP Mini 110-1120 KDE Version 4.7.2 Bluedevil version 1.2.1-Oubuntu1 Network-manager version 0.9.1.90-Oubuntu4 Laptop: KDE version 4.6.0 Bluedevil version 1.0.2 Nwtwork-manager version 0.8.2-15.24.1 I succeeded to get my iPhone to tether to Ubuntu 10.04 by 'hand wiring'. This blocked my wifi connection. I upgraded to KDE because it suites my work style better but I need BT to work because I do a lot of work 'on the move'. There must be a lot of people who want to tether via iPhone.
You are using Bluedevil 1.0.2, which does not support tethering. You need to upgrade to Bluedevil 1.2. Also, you are using NetworkManager 0.8. Plasma NM for NM 0.8 is unmaintained, which means nobody is fixing bugs in it, so you should upgrade to NetworkManager 0.9 and the proper Plasma NM for that NM version.
If you look at the para following 'expected results', you will note that first I cited an HP netbook, which is running the latest version of Bluedevil and the latest version of NetworkManager. The second entry, to which you refer, serves as a comparison with the earlier versions showing that there is no material improvement where this bug is concerned. I'm sorry that I did not clearly indicate that. Hence, I guess my report is still valid.

That information is very important and so far you have not informed what they are. "latest Bluedevil" is not that informative, we need the exact number.
My post stated: KDE Version 4.7.2 Bluedevil version 1.2.1-Oubuntu1 Network-manager version 0.9.1.90-Oubuntu4 The plasma NM is: plasma-widget-networkmanagement version 0.9~svngit.nm09.20110610.0c83d8-0ubuntu5 The content of your last comment is largely incorrect and your tone is aggressive. Please treat me with the same courtesy that I have treated you. That I have not provided all the information you need is hardly surprising, I am not an expert in this area.
You are using a very old Plasma NM version, you should upgrade. Anyway, bluetooth tethering is supposed to work even with that old version. I think you are trying to enable PAN after you have paired your phone, that does not work, you have to select between DUN or PAN in the last step of the paring process. If your phone is already paired you have to pair it again.
OK, so I have replaced the old plasma widget with version: 0.9~svngit.nm09.20111023.ff843e-0ubuntu1. This is the latest available from Ubuntu. 'Enable KDE Bluetooth Integration' is checked. I deleted my iPhone from the list of known Bluetooth devices. 1. Searched for Bluetooth devices. 2. Selected my iPhone from list of devices found, clicked 'Next'. 3. Received pairing code on phone and accepted it. 4. Clicked 'Matches' on Bluetooth Device Wizard. 5. Wizard closes without offering me any choice, neither PAN nor DUN. Left with 'Configure the known Bluetooth remote devices' window, which lists my phone. If I mouse-over the phone listed under 'Known Devices' in the NM widget, it still says 'No supported services found'. This seems consistent with step 5 above since if it finds no services it can't offer me anything. It seems to me that after the actual pairing is achieved, code probably is doing an 'sdptool browse'-like action on my phone to fetch the services supported and the result is coming back as failed or null. Hence, no service, no PAN, no DUN. If there is anything else you want me to try, just let me know.
I have just noticed something else: In the list of nearby Bluetooth devices, I can see services offered by my OpenSUSE Linux laptop and my Windows laptop. However, I get the same 'No supported services found' message for my Mac. Could this be an Apple related protocol problem?
If sdptool browse is not showing anything, then we can assume that the problem is somewhere below in the stack, BlueZ -- Drivers. Can you check if you can see the IPhone services from OSX ? Thanks.
I'm sorry, perhaps we have an English problem. In my comment #6, I made the assumption that after my phone pairs with my netbook, your Bluedevil code then tries to execute a query on my phone to determine the services offered by the phone. I called this an "'sdptool browse'-like action", but this seems to have caused a misunderstanding. I have found no reason to believe there is a problem with the Bluetooth stack. In my tests, the 'sdptool browse <my iPhone addr>' command, executed from the command line, functions and returns all the services offered by my iPhone. Following your request "Can you check if you can see the IPhone services from OSX ?", I tried pairing with my Mac. This worked successfully and I was able to provide Internet access to my Mac via my iPhone using PAN. Following up on my observation in comment #7, I upgraded my iPhone software to the latest version 5.0, hoping that this later version would correct any protocol problems. Now I cannot connect either to my Mac or to my Netbook. In both cases I can pair correctly but when I try to connect, my iPhone reports '"devnotebook-0" is not supported' or '"Mac" is not supported'. I now believe that the problem is in the iPhone code and not the Bluedevil code. Maybe Apple wants to bar this functionality on non-Apple products? I will try to resolve the iPhone/Mac connection problem and then come back to you if there is still a problem with Bluedevil. I am sorry this post is so long, but I am trying to be precise and complete.
That was faster than expected. I have discovered that with the new software version, the connection Mac/iPhone has to be initiated from the Mac, it can't be initiated from the iPhone. Working this way round, tethering my Mac to my iPhone works. This means that we are back to understanding what happens exactly when pairing occurs between the iPhone and the Bluedevil code. After pairing, I am guessing that your code interrogates the device (my iPhone) to find what services are offered. If it sees a NAP service offered, it should then ask the user if this should be enabled. Again, I am guessing that your code is not getting an expected response and is concluding that there are 'No supported services'. Could it be that the iPhone service classes are non-standard? These are in hex and I can't find an information source which tells me what they mean, so I can't check them. I hope this helps.

During pairing if Bluedevil detects the PAN/NAP service record it creates a connection in Plasma NM's for that service. Then you use Plasma NM to start the connection. > This means that we are back to understanding what happens exactly when pairing > occurs between the iPhone and the Bluedevil code.

If 'sdptool browse <your iPhone addr>' works then Bluedevil should also be able to retrieve the PAN/NAP service record. > Could it be that the iPhone service classes are non-standard?

Strange, I added a comment explaining what I thougth is the cause of this problem but it is not listed here. Anyway, I was right in my comment: Bluedevil is search for the PANU service not NAP service (00001116-0000-1000-8000-00805F9B34FB), which is the one iPhone uses. Alex, you need to fix that in Bluedevil. networkmanagement_configshell already searches for the NAP service, which is the one that worked when Rajeesh implemented tethering for his iPhone 3GS.
Until Bluedevil is fixed you can use networkmanagement_configshell directly to create the tether connection in Plasma NM. Just follow the instructions in my blog: http://lamarque-lvs.blogspot.com/2011/04/plasma-nm-bluetooth-tethering.html
At the moment I'm going to add the uuid to the current panu and later add a separate plugin.
OK Lamarque, so I tried your suggestion in comment #14: >Until Bluedevil is fixed you can use networkmanagement_configshell directly to >create the tether connection in Plasma NM. Just follow the instructions in my >blog: >richard@devnotebook:~$ $(kde4-config --path exe --locate >networkmanagement_configshell) create --type bluetooth --specific-args >"<my >iPhone addr> nap" When I did it, I got the Mobile Connection Wizard window as you said. However, after completing the wizard and clicking OK, I get richard@devnotebook:~$ Connecting to deprecated signal QDBusConnectionInterface::serviceOwnerChanged(QString,QString,QString) Sometimes I get: richard@devnotebook:~$ Connecting to deprecated signal QDBusConnectionInterface::serviceOwnerChanged(QString,QString,QString) X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3 Major opcode: 20 (X_GetProperty) Resource id: 0x5a00012 but there seems to be no connection between this and what parameters I enter in the wizard. It hangs there until I do a return. There is no connection in Plasma NM. please tell me what should I do now?

Have you reached the last wizard page and clicked on the Finish button? The connection will be save only when you click on the Finish button.
My wizard has just 2 tabs, 'Bluetooth' and 'IPv4 Address'. both have an 'OK' button. It makes no difference which I click.
That is not the wizard. This is the wizard: http://lamarque-lvs.blogspot.com/2010/09/plasma-nm-mobile-connection-wizard.html the tabs are the edit dialog, which the wizard shows after you click on the Finish button. Usually you do not need to change anything in the edit dialog, just click on the Ok button and the connection should have been added to Plasma NM. Then you just need to click on the plasmoid systray icon and then on the newly created connection. Can you create a screencast using recordmydesktop program and send me?
OK, I've sent the screencast to you. I have not included it here, I don't want my phone address to be published on the web. Hope this is ok. I'm ready for the next step.
Can you add it to youtube? If it is less than 10 MB you can send it to lamarque@gmail.com.
The wizard is not appearing probably because you do not have the package mobile-broadband-provider-info installed. Probably the missing data from mobile-broadband-provider-info is preventing the connection from being added.
Hmmm I am looking at the source code here and now I remember that for NAP there is not wizard. For some reason it is not saving the connection, please enable Plasma NM debug using kdebugdialog (just launch kdebugdialog, search for the string network and check all check boxes that appear), reproduce the problem and send me your ~/.xsession-errors? .
Created attachment 65552 [details] debug output As requested in comment #23
That's interesting, using the 'attachment' dialogue deletes any associated comments made in this field. Comment #24 should have included: Sorry for the delay, busy week. ~/.xsession-erros attached. HTH. Ready for the next step.
(In reply to comment #23) I've built the latest nm09 branch and debugged, but couldn't find anything wrong. Looks all the parameters are passed correctly to NMDBusSettingsConnectionProvider::addConnection(), but the connection doesn't appear to be created/saved. Nothing interesting was found in .xsession-errors; and "dbus-monitor --system" didn't show as if NM receives any communication for adding connection.
My guest is that one of the NM's tests is blocking the adding action. It should be a error message in NM's log about that. Can you test it for me? With DUN devices it works for me, but I do not have a NAP enabled device to test it here.
Hm, I should have looked at `dmesg` too. Here's the output of 'tail -f /var/log/messages' while running networkmanagement_configshell (with bluetooth address masked): Nov 12 21:37:04 phoenix NetworkManager[878]: <warn> (11:22:33:44:55:66): failed to look up interface index Nov 12 21:37:04 phoenix NetworkManager[878]: <info> BT device Rajeesh's iPhone (F8:1E:DF:6D:8E:C1) added (NAP) Nov 12 21:37:04 phoenix NetworkManager[878]: <info> (11:22:33:44:55:66): new Bluetooth device (driver: 'bluez' ifindex: -1) Nov 12 21:37:04 phoenix NetworkManager[878]: <info> (11:22:33:44:55:66): exported as /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Devices/5 Nov 12 21:37:04 phoenix NetworkManager[878]: <info> (11:22:33:44:55:66): now managed Nov 12 21:37:04 phoenix NetworkManager[878]: <info> (11:22:33:44:55:66): device state change: unmanaged -> unavailable (reason 'managed') [10 20 2] Nov 12 21:37:04 phoenix NetworkManager[878]: <info> (11:22:33:44:55:66): deactivating device (reason 'managed') [2] Nov 12 21:37:04 phoenix NetworkManager[878]: nm_system_iface_flush_routes: assertion `ifindex > 0' failed Nov 12 21:37:04 phoenix NetworkManager[878]: nm_system_iface_flush_addresses: assertion `ifindex > 0' failed Nov 12 21:37:04 phoenix NetworkManager[878]: <info> (11:22:33:44:55:66): device state change: unavailable -> disconnected (reason 'none') [20 30 0]
Hey Rajeesh, did you edit that log? 11:22:33:44:55:66 is not your phone's bluetooth address. The correct address appears in the second line but in all other places it is wrong. This can be a problem in NM itself, which NM versions do you use? qdbus --system org.freedesktop.NetworkManager /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.Version

Well, so this is very strange because NM added the phone as a bluetooth device and as far as I know NM only adds a bluetooth device if there is at least one bluetooth connection. Can you check if the is such a bluetooth connection in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connection?
Created attachment 65589 [details] Fix Bluetooth PAN creation I've found the issue. The NetworkManager logs mentioned in comment #28 was from a build I patched, and NM logs nothing without that patch - in short, connection was not being added. Rest of the debugging I did was on a build without it, hence no debug messages :-/ Issue was that GsmSetting, PppSetting and SerialSetting were added for all Knm::Connection::Bluetooth type connections and NetworkManager silently fails if those settings are passed for PANU connection. The attached ugly patch fixes it for me here, hopefully without introducing regression in DUN case.
Created attachment 65618 [details] Fix Bluetooth PAN creation v2 After having a short discussion with Lamarque, here's a slightly modified patch which uses NMBluetoothCapabilities enum as additional flag (didn't want to add another enum just for it ;-)) Richard, could you try this patch and see if it helps?
Rajeesh, I would love to try this patch but that may be beyond my capabilities without some hand-holding. If you tell me what to do, I'll do my best. I'm a Python programmer, I know 'make' etc and I can figure out 'patch'. I don't know where the NM files are. Sorry, not the best support you could hope for.
Created attachment 65620 [details] Fix Bluetooth APN connection creation Rajeesh and Richard, can you test the attached patch? Rajeesh's patch causes a crash when editing a Bluetooth DUN connection because when Plasma NM reads the connection list from NM's DBus interface it sets Bluetooth DUN connections with NM_BT_CAPABILITY_NONE. My patch always add the Gsm, Ppp and Serial settings and removes then only when editing or creating a PAN connection, that should keep things working while fixing this bug.
Created attachment 65633 [details] Fix Bluetooth APN connection creation v2 There is an error in the first patch. This is just should.
I'm ready to do this, just give me some clues (comment #34)
1. git clone git://anongit.kde.org/networkmanagement 2. cd networkmanagement; checkout nm09 3. patch -p1 < fix_bluetooth_pan_creation_v2.patch 3. mkdir networkmanagement_build 4. cd networkmanagement_build 5. cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr .. 6. make; make install
Great clues! Sorry for the delay, took a little time to set up the development environment. During cmake I had some problems with Openconnect in that my version is 3.02 and it should be 3.03, so I don't have the OpenConnect plug-in. Otherwise all seemed to go well. During make I got some warnings, but no errors. Had to re-pair my phone, but I am writing to you over my iPhone Personal Hotspot. Is there any other testing I can do? If not, thanks for your great support. When this is tidied up and released, Network Manager will be a really impressive all-round tool. Thanks again. If I knew how, I'd stand you that case of beer!
When I tore down the mobile connection, I noticed that I can't stop the bluetooth connection. I'm going to continue with some testing tomorrow and let you know the results.
Great, good to know it worked :-) For more testing try editing the connection, for example change it to system connection and back to user connection. Try deleting the connection too, just to check if there is any dangling pointer floating around. What do you mean by "can't stop the bluetooth connection"? Does not the disconnect button work?

So, now is my tun of implementing NAP in BlueDevil right ? or is it with PAN enough?
(In reply to comment #44) > So, now is my tun of implementing NAP in BlueDevil right ? or is it with PAN > enough? Well, this bug is two bugs actually. The first is in BlueDevil, which does not identify NAP service. The second one is Plasma NM that sends unneeded settings to NM when creating a connection. Richard Jennings, did you create the successfull PAN connection using Bluedevil or networkmanagement_configshell?
Created attachment 65688 [details] Fix Bluetooth PAN creation v3 Tested, and connection creation works fine. But editing the connection results in error "nm-settings-connection.c.839 - Connection didn't have requested setting 'gsm'.", but no crash. A concern I have with the commit is that everywhere Knm::Connection is called (like ManageConnectionWidget), the caller class needs to be friend class of Knm::Connection and responsibility of removing superfluous Settings resides with the caller. I think the functionality of creating correct Settings reside in Knm::Connection itself. Would you be willing to consider the previous patch with NM_BT_CAPABILITY_DUN as default which would restore previous functionality for DUN connections (attached the same)?

I agree that it should be in Knm::Connection, but it is not that trivial. Your patch does not work for editing PAN connections yet because it adds the Gsm/Ppp/Serial settings to them. There are two BluetoothConnectionEditor constructors, you have changed only the first one, which is used when creating connections. The other constructor is used when editing connections. A Knm::Connection object is passed to this second constructor, so we do not have the oportunity in BluetoothConnectionEditor to create a new Knm::Connection with the correct settings. One option is removing the Gsm/Ppp/Serial settings like I did. The other option is creating that Knm::Connection object with the correct settings and that is the non-trivial part. The Knm::Connection used in the second constructor is created in ConnectionDbus::fromDbusMap, if I am correct. But the flag that identificate if it is a DUN or PAN connection is in the connection's bluetooth setting, not in the connection object itself, so we need to read all settings before creating the connection. For doing that we will need to refactor ConnectionDbus::fromDbusMap and potentially create new bugs in a crutical part of Plasma NM. We may try to do that in master branch, but not in (stable) nm09 branch.
Comment #42 > What do you mean by "can't stop the bluetooth connection"? Does not the > disconnect button work? The Disconnect button in NM tears down the network connection but not the bluetooth connection. The only way to stop the bluetooth connection is to stop or reset the hardware. If I do a disconnect in NM, I cannot reconnect again afterwards. In effect, I get one connection per boot. Comment #45 I got the PAN connection using networkmanagement_configshell. It doesn't work the other way. I'm not sure there is any value in further testing, but I am willing to do it if it would be useful to you.
You should be able to disconnect the connection from bluedevil systemtray icon.
Yes, but unfortunately I can't. I will do a desktop recording to demo later today. Should this be raised in a separate bug report or should this one be reopened?
Until I see such video or more description I won't be able to tell. Anyway in a few days I will get an iPhone 4G in my hands (I have it in another place) and I will be able to implement whatever needs to be done in the bluetooth side.
Let's reopen it until all problems are solved.

I have retested the latest version and emailed the vid to Lamarque and Rajeesh. Basically, the NetworkManager now sees the iPhone when the connection is made so networkmanagement_configshell is not necessary. The other problems remain and you will see them demo'ed.
Some things I want to point out about the video: . when you create a bluetooth connection it stays there until you remove it manually using the edit connections dialog, even if you unpair your phone. The fact that there is a bluetooth interface without using networkmanagement_configshell is because you successfully had created one bluetooth connection before. To fully test the new code you must remove that bluetooth connection by clicking on Manage Connections -> Mobile Broadband -> "select the connection" -> Delete. You will need a newer BlueDevil version or use networkmanagement_configshell to re-create the bluetooth connection. . the missing bluetooth interface item's icon (the one at the left part of Plasma NM's main window) is because I am using the wrong icon name. I will fix it. . the fact that the system tray icon does not work is probably because the file /usr/share/apps/desktoptheme/default/icons/network2.svgz is missing. Can you check if it is there? . I also have this problem of connecting only once with my 3G modem (Sony Ericsson MD300). Different modems can behave differently when ModemManager uses the same initialization string and that can cause this kind of problem. Since I do not have a iPhone I cannot test this. In my case I remove my 3G modem from the USB port and insert it again when I have this problem. . if you turn your notebook's bluetooth controller off that must certainly drop the bluetooth connection with your phone. The same is true if you turn your iPhone's bluetooth off. You do not need to reboot the notebook.

The same is true if you turn your > iPhone's bluetooth off. You do not need to reboot the notebook. It's true, if I turn off the iPhone's BT,it must cut the connection. But my point was that the BT system tray still shows a connection and this can't be cleared through the UI. If I don't turn off the iPhone BT connection, then I observe that the iPhone continues to say there is a connection until the hardware resets. I would have expected the netbook BT connection to be stopped when the netbook shuts down, but this doesn't happen. It might not be important, but this is how it works. My take-away from this testing is that from a user perspective, the new version works just as the last version did.

The fact that BlueDevil does not turn bluetooth off looks like a different bug. You should fill a different bug report for that problem. The no "disconnect" option for your iPhone in BlueDevil is probably because BlueDevil did not find any service in your phone, which is due to the problem we talked about in comments #13 and #15. > It's true, if I turn off the iPhone's BT,it must cut the connection.

Well, it is certain that the BT connection is stopped when you shuts the netbook down.

Carrying on from comment #65: I tested a bit further and the 'system connection' and 'connect automatically' work fine. I didn't test the IPv4 stuff, this didn't seem relevant and I don't know how to create relevant test cases either. In the NM system tray pop-up, the 'Enable mobile broadband' check-box doesn't work. If you check it, the tick appears for a fraction of a second and then disappears. I seem to remember that it worked ok in the first version I tested. I also noticed that networkmanagement_configshell is not 100% reliable, you sometimes have to try once or twice more before you are successful. Not a problem if you know. Until I can disconnect the BT without shutting down, I can't test reconnection. Maybe you should leave this bug open until the BT disconnection problem is solved and I can test this? I guess that's it.

I can be wrong but I think NM treats PAN bluetooth connections as regular ethernet (wired connection). In that case it will not let Plasma NM to enable the mobile broadband checkbox. That checkbox is supposed to be enabled only if there is at least one Gsm, Cdma, LTE or Wimax device enabled by ModemManager (or any other means NM uses to detect them). DUN bluetooth connections are a subset of Gsm, but since we removed the Gsm part from PAN bluetooth connections that can explain why NM does not let the mobile broaband checkbox enabled anymore. In any case if the checkbox is being unchecked it is NM that is requesting Plasma NM to do that. > I also noticed that networkmanagement_configshell is not 100% reliable, you > sometimes have to try once or twice more before you are successful.

In fact no, sometimes the dialog doesn't open. If the dialog opens, I have not had a problem to create the connection. so the answer is #1 > > Maybe you should leave this bug open until the BT disconnection problem is > > solved and I can test this? > > Ok. Thanks for helping us debug and test tethering in KDE :-) You're welcome. If you are willing to fix the problems, the least I can do is help to test.
(In reply to comment #68) > In fact no, sometimes the dialog doesn't open. If the dialog opens, I have not > had a problem to create the connection. so the answer is #1 I think that is because networkmanagement_configshell is a singleton, that is, there is only one instance of it running at a time. If you try to launch a second instance it will silently exit. In some situations the first instance can take some time to exit by itself.

Apply this patch over bluedevil-1.2.3, compile and install (see http://www.afiestas.org/bluedevil-1-0-7-1-1-4-1-2-3-and-1-3-rc2-bug-fixing-frenezy/) 2. If your iPhone is already tethered and connection is present in Plasma NM, remove the device from BlueDevil as well as remove the connection from Plasma NM 3. Tether from BlueDevil system tray icon by clicking "Add Device" This time the pairing and subsequent connection creation should be successful.
I just applied your patch, Rajeesh, and indeed, when I add my Samsung Galaxy S (Android smartphone), to BlueDevil, it offers to do "Connect to internet via PANU" and then a NM dialog pops up letting me configure the connection. After that, I clicked the connection in NM (although connecting the first time does not work properly, which seems a NM issue?) and it worked. Thanks! :-)

Is this in a released version? I'm not able to connect to an Android NAP/PANU device with 1.2.2
You have either: http://download.kde.org/stable/bluedevil/1.2.4/src/ or http://download.kde.org/stable/bluedevil/1.3/src/ Your distribution should to upgrade at least to 1.2.4, though only 1.3 is supported.
Hmm, apparently my subsequent comment didn't post successfully - I backported 1.2.4 and that is working as expected, sorry for the noise.
Awesome! glad it worked for you. Thanks for reporting.
