Subject: [Bluez-users] Recent bluez-gnome problems

Hi guys,

I'm in the middle of packaging bluez-gnome 0.25 for PLD Linux. I
already have obex-data-server (with --enable-system-config) packaged
but hit a strange problem.

The interface is visible and hcid is running. I've noticed the
transfer service is no longer part of bluez-utils. First I was unable
to get bluez to a point where it detects any devices. I can see my
laptop from my cell phone but not the other way araound. After bonding
(initialized from the phone) I can send files from my laptop to my
cell phone (it shows bonded devices even if discovery fails to work).
I can't send any files from the phone and I can't browse the phone
contents (phone asks for permission but nautilus shows "connect
failed" when trying to use gvfs-mount obex://[...]/).

bluez-* is 3.29, obex-data-server is 0.3

Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

it is actually our fault within bluez-utils-3.29. We accidently
removed the device discover calls from the API. Expect a new release
soon.

As mentioned eaerlier, we are already shipping bluez-gnome 0.25 and
bluez-{libs,utils} 3.29

If it works for everyone else it has to be related to our setup so
please point me in the right direction for debugging.

don't use system bus activation. It would run ODS as root and remote
attackers can overwrite system files.

That should have been fixed with the latest bluez-gnome version.

So you suggest we disable it in distro builds? Will do. I thought it
only affected system bus activation?

yes, the options are there but there seems to be a problem with device
discovery somewhere in my setup. Is running hcid enough for the device
detection to work? It seems only the already paired devices show up
(it worked fine at least with bluez-gnome 0.15) so I assume it only
displays a memorized list of devices not doing discovery at all. How
do I debug it? I'm a programmer so if you point me to the right
internals I think I could fix the issues or at least provide you with
more info.

don't use --enable-system-config unless you know what this implies.
Running ODS inside the user session is good enough.

I don't see a problem here. The latest bluez-gnome has options to
enable file transfer and push service.

I am doing the release today. Using 3.28 will be good. Or you grab
that one patch from the CVS. It is something like changing two or
three lines of code.

Hi guys, any news on this front? Is there an already planned release?
If not, what is the safe version to revert to in the distro?
