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

[dAnjou]

This bug has probably nothing to do with GNOME. I tried to use the
Bluetooth Chat sample from Android (
http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/BluetoothChat/index.html
) with the little code snippet in the attachment and I get this (MAC
disguised by me):

max at XV88:~/Projekte/python$ python bt_spam_server.py
Searching ...
connecting to "BluetoothChat" on 3C:5A:37:XX:XX:XX
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "bt_spam_server.py", line 39, in <module>
    sock.connect((host, port))
  File "<string>", line 5, in connect
bluetooth.btcommon.BluetoothError: (13, 'Permission denied')
max at XV88:~/Projekte/python$ 

I tested it on a Natty machine too and it worked perfectly.

(Credits for the snippet go to http://www.humbug.in/2010/sample-
bluetooth-rfcomm-client-app-in-python/ )

Title:
  Bluetooth 'Send files' returns permission denied error

Status in GNOME Bluetooth:
  New
Status in OEM Priority Project:
  Confirmed
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
