Here is a work-around: Again, the Linux bug has something to do with waiting for an acknowlegement prompt on the receiving device. This still needs to be fixed.
There is a free (as in beer if you watch our ad) Android app called Bluetooth File Transfer (very well done in fact). With it you can disable the Receiving "security prompt". That done, files can be transferred from Linux. (Using this app, one can also turn file browsing on. Once that is done, in Linux, just re-pair the devices, and voilà, file browsing with Android!) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of TI OMAP Developers, which is subscribed to a duplicate bug report (897995). https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/872044 Title: Bluetooth 'Send files' returns permission denied error Status in GNOME Bluetooth: New Status in Linaro Ubuntu Evaluation Builds: Confirmed Status in Linaro Linux: New Status in OEM Priority Project: Fix Released Status in OEM Priority Project precise series: New Status in “bluez” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “bluez” source package in Oneiric: Invalid Status in “linux” source package in Oneiric: Fix Released Status in “obex-data-server” source package in Oneiric: Invalid Status in “obexd” source package in Oneiric: Invalid Status in “bluez” source package in Precise: Invalid Status in “linux” source package in Precise: Fix Released Status in “obex-data-server” source package in Precise: Invalid Status in “obexd” source package in Precise: Invalid Status in “bluez” package in Fedora: Unknown Bug description: Gnome 3 bluetooth manager cannot send files to my HTC Desire phone, (or any phone that I could try) Gnome2 bluetooth manager would send some form of authorisation request when first sending a file to my phone, which i would accept on the phone and then all future files could be sent with a simple 'accept?' message on the phone, on any gnome3 setup i have tried there is not authorisation request and i believe this is what leads to a permission denied error on screen (video attached) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 Package: gnome-bluetooth 3.2.0-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-12.20-generic 3.0.4 Uname: Linux 3.0.0-12-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 1.23-0ubuntu3 Architecture: amd64 Date: Mon Oct 10 23:23:33 2011 ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/bluetooth-applet InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot" - Release amd64 (20111010.1) SourcePackage: gnome-bluetooth UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-bluetooth/+bug/872044/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~tiomap-dev Post to : tiomap-dev@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~tiomap-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
