[gnome-bluetooth] Phone not detected by gnome-obex-send

[Julien Valroff]

Hi,

I am trying to use gnome-bluetooth to share pictures and sounds with my
mobile phone, but gnome-obex-send does not detect it.

However, 'hcitool scan' does, and I can use l2ping to ping the phone.

I can even transfer files from the computer to the phone using the
--dest option of gnome-obex-send.

Here is the output of hcidump when using gnome-obex-send - without
specifying the device address of course:
HCI sniffer - Bluetooth packet analyzer ver 1.32
device: hci0 snap_len: 1028 filter: 0xffffffff

[ie nothing happens until I click on the refresh button]

hcitool scan yields to a positive result after 4 to 5 events.

I am using gnome-bluetooth 0.8.0 and libbtctl4 0.8.2 on Debian unstable.

I couldn't find a way to make the output of gnome-obex-send more
verbose, and I do not know where I can look for any error.

Do you have any hint for me?

Cheers,
Julien
