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

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre]

Indeed not an issue with gnome-bluetooth really, this has more to do
with obexd or obex-data-server than GNOME (and probably not bluez
either).

I'm reassigning this to obexd for now, since there really does seem to
be something wrong with it at least in precise (and updating to the
latest source seems to let it work better).

The two patches provided might help, but I'm just generally not fond of
adding timeouts for the fun of it; it always seems like there ought to
be a better way to achieve this. However, since the "ugliest" one is for
obexd, which has heavily changed in 0.43, it still seems like the lesser
evil than trying to look through and backport the changes.

** Package changed: gnome-bluetooth (Ubuntu) => obexd (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: obexd (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Low => Medium

** Also affects: obex-data-server (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Changed in: obex-data-server (Ubuntu)

  Bluetooth 'Send files' returns permission denied error

Status in “obexd” package in Ubuntu:

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
