Package: bluedevil Version: 1.0-0.1 Severity: normal When I try to send files from my BlueTooth phone to my netbook running Debian testing, it doesn't work in KDE, even when I enabled "Enable receiving files" in "Receive files configuration".
This is an upstream bug, still both found in ~rc3 and final: Running "dbus-monitor sender=org.kde.BlueDevil.Service" showed the following message being sent to knotify: > method call sender=:1.117 -> dest=org.kde.knotify serial=30 path=/Notify; > interface=org.kde.KNotify; member=event > string "bluedevilIncomingFile" > string "bluedevilfilereceiverhelper" > array [ ] > string "" > string "HTC Desire PMHahn is sending you the file IMAG0042.jpg" > array of bytes [ ... ] > array [ > string "Cancel" > string "Accept" > string "Save as..." > ] > int32 0 > int64 0 Notice the second string specifying the sending application name being "bluedevilfilereceiverhelper"! $ qdbus org.kde.knotify /Notify | grep event > method int org.kde.KNotify.event(QString event, QString fromApp, QVariantList > contexts, QString title, QString text, QByteArray pixmap, QStringList > actions, int timeout, qlonglong winId) Running "strace -e t=file -s 4096 knotify4 --nofork" finally showed that the following files are not found: > ... > stat64("/usr/share/desktop-base/profiles/kde-profile/share/config/bluedevilfilereceiverhelper.notifyrc", > 0xbff5f03c) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) > stat64("/usr/share/kde4/apps/bluedevilfilereceiverhelper/bluedevilfilereceiverhelper.notifyrc", > 0xbff5eedc) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) > stat64("/usr/share/kde4/config/bluedevilfilereceiverhelper.notifyrc", > 0xbff5f03c) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) But the package "bluedevil" provides the necessary definition of the "Event/bluedevilIncomingFile" type in the file <file:/usr/share/kde4/apps/bluedevil/bluedevil.notifyrc> which thus isn't found and used. For testing I created the following symlink, after which the I was successfully able to send files: $ ln -s /usr/share/kde4/apps/bluedevil/bluedevil.notifyrc ~/.kde/share/config/bluedevilfilereceiverhelper.notifyrc The message is generated in <file:bluedevil-v1.0/src/daemon/helpers/filereceiver/openobex/serversession.cpp>:118 The appname is automatically retrieved here: <http://api.kde.org/4.0-api/kdelibs-apidocs/kdeui/html/classKNotification.html#a11db3389218f37f37a4909893575232c> You can simulate the message by running the following Python program: #!/usr/bin/python import dbus knotify = dbus.SessionBus().get_object("org.kde.knotify", "/Notify") r = knotify.event("bluedevilIncomingFile", "bluedevilfilereceiverhelper", [], "Title", "HTC Desire PMHahn is sending you the file IMAG0042.jpg", [], ["Cancel","Accept","Save as..."], 0, 0, dbus_interface="org.kde.KNotify") print r -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.36.2 (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash _______________________________________________ pkg-kde-extras mailing list pkg-kde-extras@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-kde-extras
