Hi, Can you adding some debug info for me. In the file, /usr/lib/systemd/system/bluetooth.service, can you add a '-d' like below ExecStart=/usr/libexec/bluetooth/bluetoothd -d and the 'systemctl restart bluetooth' and then in a shell run 'journalctl -f' (which shows the output of the bluetoothd). Once that is setup, can you re-run your send file test? I tried a similar test on my machine and it fails because of a timeout I believe, but on the shell I see the bluetoothd hang on a 'PUT' command. But I connected through a 'network profile' as opposed to an 'audio profile'. I assume you did the same? Now, I do _not_ expect the laptop to ask for a directory or permission. Once you have paired, it is good to go. I believe the file gets put into '/home/<user>/.cache/obexd/' directory. If all my instructions above work, then can you attach part of the journalctl file with the bluetoothd output? Cheers, Don Created attachment 1195303 [details]

I have added the debug message. Would it be possible instead of putting the transferred file into a hidden folder (.cache) to put the files in: ~/Downloads/Bluetooth ? This would be a better place so that users can actually find the files also. Hi Oliver, The request is being reject with 'FORBIDDEN'. Probably a permission problem. I need to dig around to figure out exactly what paths can cause that. As for configuring to use something not ~/.cache, it will be a challenge as that path is hardcoded into the obexd itself. There is no spec file magic I can apply to change that (aside from the obvious patch :-) ). I need to keep poking at the tool. Cheers, Don (In reply to Oliver Haessler from comment #0) > Description of problem: > I have tried to send a file from my Phone (Samsung Galaxy S6) to 2 different > Lenovo notebooks (T430s and T460s).

In older versions of GNOME, that should be toggling "Bluetooth file reception" in the Sharing panel. In newer versions, you'll need to keep the Bluetooth panel opened. I o not set up anything on the notebook side as there was no option to enable bluetooth receiving. I tried again with the Bluetooth setting open, an get the same error. (In reply to Oliver Haessler from comment #7) > I o not set up anything on the notebook side as there was no option to > enable bluetooth receiving. Then it's really not going to work. Is gnome-user-share installed? > I tried again with the Bluetooth setting open, an get the same error. Did you see a label saying that transferred files would be saved in the downloads folder, in the Bluetooth panel? If not, again, it won't do anything. based on here: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=168 gnome-user-share seems to not be available for RHEL 7. I will try to install a 3.14.x version and see if this helps. Update: installed http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=621628 and http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=562125 and that works. So do I need to open a bug report to add gnome-user-share to RHEL 7 CSB.. or maybe we an build it in EPEL. Let me try that. gnome-bluetooth and control-center 3.22 in RHEL 7.4 will use bluez' obexd directly, avoiding the gnome-user-share dependency. Fixed in gnome-bluetooth-3.20.1-1.el7 (and the corresponding control-center-3.22.1-2.el7) TEST SETUP 1 On notebook Lenovo W541 under RHEL 7.3 Workstation x86_64, with GNOME desktop environment. Testing with mobile phone Xiaomi Redmi Note, OS: Android 4.4.4. Component version: gnome-bluetooth-3.14.1-1.el7 TEST PROCEDURE 1 1. Pair the phone with the notebook. 2. Send a photo from the phone to the notebook. The file transfer fails. TEST SETUP 2 On notebook HP EliteBook 8470p running under RHEL 7.4 Workstation x86_64, with GNOME desktop environment. Component version: gnome-bluetooth-3.20.1-1.el7 TEST PROCEDURE 2 1. Pair the phone with the notebook. 2. Send a photo from the phone to the notebook. The file transfer is successful. RESULTS Upgrading: gnome-bluetooth from: 3.14.1-1.el7 to: 3.20.1-1.el7 has fixed the bug.
