SUMMARY I cannot send file(s) from Smartphone to Linux. Please note: I have found the reason for it and a workaround, see WORKAROUND section at the bottom. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Activate bluetooth on smartphone and Linux. 2. Connect smartphone to Linux. 3. Choose a file on smartphone and send to Linux. 4. Smartphone says, that sending file to Linux failed. OBSERVED RESULT Smartphone says, that sending file to Linux failed. Linux does not say anything. EXPECTED RESULT File is transferred to Linux and Linux gives a notification about successful file reception.

Since on my Linux machine KDE is used (no GNOME) and I have no Evolution installation, I have edited /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.gnome.evolution.dataserver.Sources5.service as follows (commented Exec=... line): [D-BUS Service] Name=org.gnome.evolution.dataserver.Sources5 #Exec=/usr/libexec/evolution-source-registry SystemdService=evolution-source-registry.service Then I have restarted obexd in terminal: $ systemctl --user restart obex.service Messages in log after restart changed to: obexd[4917]: OBEX daemon 5.79 obexd[4917]: Unable to get reference to default address book obexd[4917]: Unable to get reference to default address book After this change it is possible now to send files from smartphone to Linux and Bluetooth applet shows reception progress and "File received" notification.
Thanks for the bug report. I'm not able to reproduce this bug on git-master on Solus. I also don't have Evolution installed. Based on the detailed root cause and workaround, this looks like a configuration or dependency problem with Tuxedo OS. You'll want to report this to them via their GitLab issues tracker: https://gitlab.com/tuxedocomputers/development/tuxedo_os/os/-/issues Let us know if they're able to help you or say there's something KDE needs to do

This was a missing dependency: bluez-obexd ---> libedataserver-1.2-27t64 ---> evolution-data-server-common -- x --> evolution-data-server For more information and detailed description please visit: https://gitlab.com/tuxedocomputers/development/tuxedo_os/os/-/issues/529#note_2448753118 I think this is not the issue in KDE's bluetooth component (and also not in bluez-obexd), but an issue in missing dependency between evolution-data-server-common and evolution-data-server. This is why I would propose to close this issue here.

As I already described in Comment 4 (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=502381#c4) this is not a bug in plasmashell | bluetooth component => closing this ticket.
