[Bug 872044] Re: Bluetooth 'Send files' returns permission denied error

[Jérémie Bouttier]

I am affected by the same bug (fresh install of Ubuntu 11.10 with
Unity). Actually I cannot do any file transfer with my phone : sending
files from the phone, from the PC, browsing files, nothing works
(permission denied everywhere). Also, the bluetooth-applet crashes. Only
the initial pairing with the phone went fine. Typical errors in syslog
are :

Dec 21 11:26:27 guilleri obex-data-server: sdp_extract_seqtype: Unexpected end of packet
Dec 21 11:27:08 guilleri bluetoothd[4523]: Bluetooth daemon 4.96
Dec 21 11:27:08 guilleri bluetoothd[4523]: Unable to get on D-Bus
[...]
Dec 21 11:29:34 guilleri obex-client[4567]: obex-client daemon 0.42
Dec 21 11:29:34 guilleri bluetoothd[1136]: Mode session 0x7fa6debc6630 with :1.82 activated
Dec 21 11:29:36 guilleri obex-client[4567]: Permission denied (13)

Comment #14 suggested to look into the "Personal file sharing" settings
but I cannot find them in Unity's system settings (though the package
gnome-user-share is installed).

Title:
  Bluetooth 'Send files' returns permission denied error

Status in GNOME Bluetooth:

Status in OEM Priority Project:

Status in “gnome-bluetooth” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Gnome 3 bluetooth manager cannot send files to my HTC Desire phone,
  (or any phone that I could try) Gnome2 bluetooth manager would send
  some form of authorisation request when first sending a file to my
  phone, which i would accept on the phone and then all future files
  could be sent with a simple 'accept?' message on the phone, on any
  gnome3 setup i have tried there is not authorisation request and i
  believe this is what leads to a permission denied error on screen
