Title:
cannot get files from bluetooth device - copying hangs forever, makes
nautilus eat 100%CPU
Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Binary package hint: nautilus
There must be more than one bug here, both in the package implementing
bluetooth funcionalities, and in Nautilus itself - anyway it is hard
for me to distinguish so the only thing I can do is report the problem
as a whole.
When trying to copy files from my phone to my computer via bluetooth I
get the following problem
1) On my phone, I turn bluetooth on, I turn on its bluetooth visibility and
make my files visible
2) In Ubuntu, I click on the bluetooth icon on the panel and select "browse
files on device..."
3) I select the device and click "browse"
4) On the phone, I am prompted to allow the Pc to access the files; I accept
5) On the computer, a Nautilus window opens which allows me to browse the
folders and files on the phone
6) In Nautilus, I leave this window open and I open a new one to browse my
local hard disk
7) In Nautilus, I select the files on my phone and drag'n'drop them into a
folder in my computer
8) Now on the phone I am prompted to give the Pc permission to get the
files, and here the problems begin
Normally, my phone would prompt me for each file to allow the transfer, and I
would always accept.
At random times, the following happens:
9) At any point, after accepting on the phone to allow getting the
n-th file, the computer gets stuck and never goes on; the phone never
prompts me to accept to allow getting the (n+1)-th file.
This is the first bug (computer is failing to send the request for the
following files; or the request has been lost for any reason, in which
case the computer should either resend it or pop up an error message
reporting the problem to the user, not just hang on forever)
10) Nautilus every once in a while starts consuming 100% CPU for a few
seconds and then goes back to normal
11) the "File Operations" windows stays open and shows a "copying <N>
files to <folder name>" progress bar which is stuck at a certain
percentage and never goes on. If I click on the "X" on the right to
abort the operation, the "X" turns gray but the operation is never
aborted and the "File Operation" window stays open forever
Here's the second clear bug in Nautilus: the file operation is not
aborted.
12) If I close the "file operation" windows the way yoy close any
window (with the close icon on the window's title bar), the window
closes, but the icon on the panel indicating a copy operation still
remains. By clicking on that icon on the panel, there is a "show copy
dialog" option: if I click it, the copy dialog shows up again (and the
progress bar is still at the same point).
So basically there's no way to abort that copy operation other than
manually killing the process or restarting the computer.
13) Nautilius still eats 100% CPU at random times.
So I think there are a couple of separate but related issues:
A) Bluetooth protocol implementation is terribly buggy. Copying files
from a device can hang at any point. It is even possible that the
phone's software is buggy and that the phone is not behaving
correctly, but even if this is the case, the computer's response is
unacceptable: it should give an error message and stop the operation,
not hang on forever
B) Nautilus has an issue in that when you try to abort a copy
operation by clicking on the "X" on the right next to the progress
bar, the abortion fails and the copy operation gets stuck forever and
Nautilus even eats 100%CPU.
** After restarting the computer and repeating the process again and again, I
get almost always the same result (with point 9 happening at any time, i.e.
sometimes after the first file sometimes after copying N files, with varying
N). Sometimes, instead, I get a different, still nonsense, behaviour:
after point (8), and after I allow the transfer from the phone, I get
a nonsense error message of which I remember the words "error" and
"another operation" - something like "error copying file xxxxx:
another operation is pedning" (these are not the exact words).
