Description Ian Malone 2018-05-23 20:23:07 UTC
Description of problem:
Impress android app fails to connect to a running libreoffice presentation.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libreoffice-5.4.6.2-6.fc27.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Pair android device with fedora computer over bluetooth. Confirm that file transfer works.
2. Open libreoffice, start presentation
3. In Android Impress remote app, select computer to connect to.

Actual results:
Impress remote shows "connection failed" screen.

Expected results:
Remote shows presentation slides in the android app and allows control of presentation.

Additional info:
Remote is enabled in libreoffice settings.

I believe this is a Fedora, not Android problem, due to these messages appearing in systemctl status bluetooth whenever libreoffice impress is started:

ay 23 21:06:34 prometheus.localdomain bluetoothd[729]: RFCOMM server failed for LibreOffice Impress Remote: rfcomm_bind: Address already in use (98)

Using KDE desktop, though I have tried uninstalling bluedevil and using blueman instead.

same here, standard kde installation on fedora 27. Impress remote won't connect to libreOffice (although other bluetooth functions like file transfers are working ok)

journalctl says:
bluetoothd[1447]: RFCOMM server failed for LibreOffice Impress Remote: rfcomm_bind: Address already in use (98)

This message is a reminder that Fedora 27 is nearing its end of life.
On 2018-Nov-30  Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for
Fedora 27. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases
that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as
EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version' of '27'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 27 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 3 Ben Cotton 2018-11-30 22:09:49 UTC
Fedora 27 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2018-11-30. Fedora 27 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
