My Bluetooth setup is running fine, with the exception of OBEX reception. When I start the bluetooth-applet from a shell, I get the warning "Bluetooth OBEX start failed: Invalid path". A bit of dbus-monitoring shows that this error comes from the OBEX server: method call sender=:1.96 -> dest=org.openobex path=/org/openobex/server1; interface=org.openobex.Server; member=Start string "" boolean true boolean true error sender=:1.94 -> dest=:1.96 error_name=org.openobex.Error.InvalidArguments reply_serial=16 string "Invalid path" A look in ods-server.c shows that it's testing for the first parameter of the method call to be an existing directory, but the bluetooth-applet is passing an empty string.. and this is because the applet uses g_get_user_special_dir(G_USER_DIRECTORY_PUBLIC_SHARE) and g_get_user_special_dir(G_USER_DIRECTORY_DOWNLOAD) to retrieve the directory names. So, I now have one suggestion - see the attached patch, two small error checks to make debugging this _much_ easier - and one question: how is the average user (yes, there are such things now ;-) expected to know how to set these *!$%& directories? I needed 20 minutes of glib source diving to find the relevant code - why doesn't Gnome, e.g., set this automatically? Thanks, Yours, Florian -- 0666 - Filemode of the Beast --=-mWaZoB0Ym9kMW9Tw970r Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=bluez-gnome-0.26-patch Content-Type: text/x-patch; name=bluez-gnome-0.26-patch; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit diff -ur applet-old/obex.c applet/obex.c --- applet-old/obex.c 2008-04-30 09:29:57.000000000 +0200 +++ applet/obex.c 2008-04-30 09:30:28.000000000 +0200 @@ -139,6 +139,9 @@ dir = g_get_user_special_dir(G_USER_DIRECTORY_DOWNLOAD); + if (!dir) + g_printerr("Warning: G_USER_DIRECTORY_DOWNLOAD not set - check ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs!"); + dbus_g_proxy_begin_call(opp_server, "Start", start_opp_notify, NULL, NULL, G_TYPE_STRING, dir, @@ -206,6 +209,9 @@ dir = g_get_user_special_dir(G_USER_DIRECTORY_PUBLIC_SHARE); + if (!dir) + g_printerr("Warning: G_USER_DIRECTORY_PUBLIC_SHARE not set - check ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs!"); + dbus_g_proxy_begin_call(ftp_server, "Start", start_ftp_notify, NULL, NULL, G_TYPE_STRING, dir, --=-mWaZoB0Ym9kMW9Tw970r Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
