[Bug 214750] Re: browse device should not try to connect non-OBEX devices

[Saïvann Carignan]

I confirm this bug report and set the Importance to Wishlist. I changed
the description to suggest the removal of non-OBEX devices from the
Browse devices menu since the error would not show if only OBEX devices
would be there. Thanks for this bug report!

** Summary changed:

- Couldn't display obex
+ browse device should not try to connect non-OBEX devices

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: bluez-gnome
  
  Scenario: Hardy, amd64, DVD live image of today (4/9/08). Set my
  Bluetooth headset (BTST-9300) to pairing mode. Select "Browse device"
  from the Bluetooth applet. It says:
  
          BTST-9300 headset
  
  Select it and click on [connect]. Then there is an error popup saying
  
          Couldn't display "obex://[00:0A:94:A1:4A:42]"
  
  	Error: host down
  	Please select another viewer and try again.
  
  Of course I did not select _any_ viewer, so this error message is not
  helpful to get Bluetooth working.
+ 
+ Update : This bug ask bluez-gnome to show only OBEX compatible devices
+ in browse devices. If this is not possible, Gnome/gvfs could just to
+ show a more comprehensible error message when connecting to the device
+ so the overall user can understand that the device is "not browsable".

** Changed in: bluez-gnome (Ubuntu)
