lightblue.obex.sendfile() : Error

[Sergio Bernardo]

Hi!

I'm testing LightBlue and it seems very simple and cool, but unfortunately it does not work, at least in my Linux box :-(

This is what happens to me:

python:

===========================================================

>>> from lightblue import *

>>> finddevices()
[('00:16:B8:C1:91:56', u'Z550i', 262738L)]

>>> findservices('00:16:B8:C1:91:56')
[('00:16:B8:C1:91:56', 1, u'OBEX SyncML Client'), ('00:16:B8:C1:91:56', 2, u'Dial-up Networking'), ('00:16:B8:C1:91:56', 3, u'Serial Port'), ('00:16:B8:C1:91:56', 4, u'HF Voice Gateway'), ('00:16:B8:C1:91:56', 5, u'HS Voice Gateway'), ('00:16:B8:C1:91:56', 6, u'OBEX Object Push'), ('00:16:B8:C1:91:56', 7, u'OBEX File Transfer'), ('00:16:B8:C1:91:56', 8, u'OBEX IrMC Sync Server'), ('00:16:B8:C1:91:56', 15, u'NAP service'), ('00:16:B8:C1:91:56', 17, u'Mouse & Keyboard')]

>>> obex.sendfile('00:16:B8:C1:91:56',6,'logo.gif')
[btobexclient_connect] Connecting transport...
[btobexclient_connect] Error opening Bluetooth transport connection!

    raise _lightbluecommon.BluetoothError(str(exc))
lightblue._lightbluecommon.BluetoothError: Error connecting to server

===========================================================

I've tried all services, they all give the same error. Even changing the device address returns the same error - with an invalid address...

Notes:

  - OS:  Linux 2.6.18-gentoo-r4
  - /etc/init.d/bluetooth started!
  - pybluez-0.9.2 [installed from source]
  - OpenObex: dev-libs/openobex 1.3 [gentoo package]
  - LightBlue source files 0.2 [installed from source]

I'm I doing something wrong?
The USB/Bluetooth device seems to be working and to support OBEX Object push, has it correctly scans the network and I tested Object push on MS Windows...

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

It looks like OpenOBEX can't connect the underlying transport connection. Are you able to send files from the normal built-in bluetooth file transfer apps? (kbluetooth OBEX File Transfer, etc.)

Hello again.

Thank you for the answer. It guided me into the right direction ;-)
It's working now!

For the records, here is what happened to me:

I've installed openObex on Gentoo with the detaulf emerge configuration, but something gone wrong...
The correct way to install-it for use with Bluetooth / USB is this:

     USE="usb bluetooth" emerge openobex

After that, restarted bluetooth and "OBEX Push Daemon":

     /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart
     /etc/init.d/opd start

And that was it :-)
