Dear openSuSers,

The oddity of this issue is verging the incredible!:

I have a Nokia Lumia 710 smart-phone, running WP-7.8 and I tried to send a picture from it to my laptop which is running openSUSE 12.3 64 bits, both from being logged in KDE or Gnome DE, but never the picture is sent to the computer.

I have of course enabled the file sharing and reviewed all the configuration of Blue-tooth, but nothing to do: openSUSE refuses to accept and download the picture from the smart-phone.

On KDE, it seems that pairing is a bit different, at least on 12.3. It doesn't care about pins. You click the taskbar tray Icon for bluetooth and select configure Then in the configure window you scan for devices (add a device). This should find your device and show its MAC in hex characters as well as its name.

If you select Trusted, then opensuse+KDE will accept connections from that device (whether or not it your Computer is set as visible), and upon sending a file it will pup up a window to accept the file or not. (You can always set this as the default action for files from that device from that same pop up window).

(I don't have a windows phone to test with, so I tested with A Surface Pro tablet.)

Each time I try to send a file from the device to opensuse/kde I see an authenticate box on the surface pro. But you have to uncheck that, because KDE is using the concept of a trusted device and the authentication option does not show an actionable dialog on KDE.

Hi John,

The fact is that using BlueTooth in openSUSE 12.3 I cannot send from external device to the system, I can do the contrary: from system to device, though not always!

But I can do it by sending from external device to an Ubuntu virtual machine running in same openSUSE 12.3, that is the oddity: it seems something is wrong in openSUSE.

Cheers,

Same problem persist with openSUSE 13.1 64bits Gnome Desktop. Send over BlueTooth from external device to O.S. fails!

Not sure about 12.3.. but on 13.1 I have some more insight: there was a bluez5 patch released into the wild this weekend (part one of the fix) Part 2 is scheduled as a larger update to GNOME 3.10.2. (tests can be done based on the repository home:dimstar:bnc849913). With this stack, I am able to send files from my android device to my gnome machine and the other way around.

Hi Dominique! I red about some of your posts on the web wherein you were reporting about the Bluetooth problem since some months ago (during 13.1 finalization stage) and I was expecting a note by you :-) Thanks for the info; this issue is not a blocking problem for me, but I would like to have it resolved, then if releasing of 3.10.2 will get much time, probably I will give a try with your patch (hope it is a bluez5 patched rpm).

It's a combination of bluez5 patches (of which some we already have in openSUSE 13.1 GA, one came later, and went out as patch last weekend to the Update channel) and further patches in gnome-user-share.

Hi Dominique, Just to say that I have not found any bluez archives in your home:dimstar:bnc849913, but if I'm not wrong I see from the link to bugreport that bluez patched version is already available from official repo (?).

Correct.. the bluez5 part went out as online update already.. gnome-user-share is not yet released. The combination makes it work. Dominique -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner@opensuse.org

Hi Dominique, Is it normal that after updating bluez I am no more able to access the Share app? I tested with default gnome-user-share as well as with the package I found into your home:bnc directory, now also sending files via bluetooth from Desktop to remote device has stopped to work. Another thing (this is an OT: I have to post in separate topic) I installed the updated x11-video-intel released by openSUSE updates and now I notice that by sliding the mouse cursor on window border right-top the close-maximize-minimize buttons have a ugly behaviour because they loose the default colour (using high-contrast).
