No error messages, that's the fun part. File receive works consistently here -- as long as gnome-obex-server is running, of course. File bugs if you have problems -- we can't fix things we don't know are misbehaving. > If only there were diagnostics; strace and packet > dumps are useful at work, but it would be nice to not have to use them > at home too. I don't know what better diagnostics I'd want than running gnome-obex-server in a terminal so I can see its output, and running hcidump -X -V in another terminal so I can see the traffic. > There was no point in putting error reports in bugzilla -- I would > have to write something like "the pairing tool isn't working", but > there IS no pairing tool. Of course there's a point in putting error reports in bugzilla. There _is_ a pairing tool, and my experience is that it works. In FC-5 it was bluez-pin; in FC-6 it'll be bluez-gnome. > I have cut down my bluetooth usage to just ppp to a cell phone. This > works most of the time.

Again -- if it fails, then show the hcidump output and we'll see what's going wrong. -- dwmw2 -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
