Description of problem: On the RHEL5 Beta2 Desktop (Client + Workstation) (x86_64), the gnome-bluetooth- manager does not return any information from it's scan or the properties tab. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-bluetooth-manager-0.7.0-10.1 "Bluetooth Device Manager 0.7.0" How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start gnome-bluetooth-manager 2. select scan 3. from the command prompt the result from 'hcitool scan' shows what should be returned by the gnome-bluetooth-manager Actual results: nothing return of data Expected results: same as 'hcitool scan' done from a terminal Additional info:
I experienced the same result in Fedora Core 6 on i686, having the same version of gnome-bluetooth-manager. Starting the gnome-bluetooth-manager from a terminal gives some warning messages that might be relevant. <Startup of the manager> /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gnomebt/manager.py:142: DeprecationWarning: gnome.ui.AppBar constructor takes exactly 3 arguments, but calling old gtk.HBox constructor for compatibility reasons. self.statusbar = gnome.ui.AppBar (True, True) <After selectin Devices->scan> /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gnomebt/manager.py:220: GtkWarning: gtk_label_set_text: assertion `GTK_IS_LABEL (label)' failed self.statusbar.pop () /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gnomebt/manager.py:222: GtkWarning: gtk_label_set_text: assertion `GTK_IS_LABEL (label)' failed self.statusbar.push (_("Scanning for devices..."))

I am no python expert, but from looking at the code here is what i have deciphered: AppBar extends from HBox, and HBox has a two argument constructor which is over-shadowing the 3 argument constructor of AppBar, when it is invoked using just two arguments. The third argument in AppBar is an enum on PreferencesType. Now, i am not sure how we would specify a preferences type in the UI, but here is what I did: /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gnomebt/manager.py changed #142 from: self.statusbar = gnome.ui.AppBar (True, True) to: self.statusbar = gnome.ui.AppBar (True, True, 0) This got rid of the null pointer assertions and the UI comes up fine. Now, when I do a scan for devices, it hangs at retrieving device names! And there are no messages on the console either. Details: Bluetooth Device Manager: 0.7.0 Fedora Core 6
fixed with gnome-bluetooth-0.7.0-10.2.el5
Harald, I've downloaded the gnome-bluetooth-0.7.0-10.2.el5 for my x86_64 install using the path you gave me, but I cannot tell if this bug is now fixed or not. The gnome-bluetooth-manager application isn't in the RPM gnome-bluetooth-0.7.0-10.2.el5.x86_64.rpm anymore. Is the removal of the gnome-bluetooth-manager done on purpose or a mistake ?
Removed on purpose, you should be using "Send To" from the nautilus context menu on files. Btw, it's removed in newer upstream versions as well.
A package has been built which should help the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of CURRENTRELEASE. You may reopen this bug report if the solution does not work for you.
