obex-data-serve[3734]: segfault at 17 ip error 4 in libc-2.13.so

[AndrzejL]

Hi.

Fully upgraded kde 2012 latest dvd iso (no testing enabled, no out of repo compilations / apps) when trying to send files to my phone over bluetooth it crashes / closes the connection and in dmesg I get this:

obex-data-serve[3734]: segfault at 17 ip b738e456 sp bfbd8094 error 4 in libc-2.13.so[b7314000+161000]

Try it out

Make your phone discoverable

Open your terminal type in:

Code: [Select]

hcitool scan
press enter and when the device / phone is found it will give you it's mac address.

Go to dolphin and type in address bar:

Code: [Select]

obexftp://mac-address-of-the-phone
mac address must be in xx-yy-xx-xx-xx-xx format with dashes insted of : example

Code: [Select]

obexftp://01-12-3c-63-8b-84
now it will ask to introduce pin - do it on both devices so it pairs

Now you can browse the phone in dolphin and copy the files from phone in dolphin - now try copying the files from the pc to the phone - window will go blank like there is no content

now open terminal and type in dmesg

obex-data-serve[3734]: segfault at 17 ip b738e456 sp bfbd8094 error 4 in libc-2.13.so[b7314000+161000]
obex-data-serve[6238]: segfault at 17 ip b73d4456 sp bfa1cfa4 error 4 in libc-2.13.so[b735a000+161000]

check your phone - no file was sent and the bluetooth is disconnected - you will probably have to reboot your phone to make it connect to bluetooth again (or not ymmv)

Please upgrade and test the appropriate packages so they work nicely with each other. Not sure which ones but this seems like a good start:

[root@wishmacer andrzejl]# ls --full /lib/libc-2.13.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1575095 2011-09-03 23:27:14.000000000 +0100 /lib/libc-2.13.so*

Hey AndrzejL,

I'm having this same problem trying to send files to and from my android phone via bluetooth.

Phone can connect and is connected using blueman AND bluedevil and using the 'send file' button in both managers results in files failing to send. I followed your instructions for connecting via Dolphin and using the mac address of the phone with obexftp but it can't find the phone files so I'm thinking it's an obex server issue although obex-data-server and obex-client are both running on my machine.

Any hints? Anyone else still having this problem?   

[AndrzejL]

Sorry - still trying to figure it out myself. Different distro - same problem.

Regards.

I have been experiencing a similar condition where in I am unable to send any file via Bluetooth to my mobile.
I will have to look deeper to see if it is the same thing.

Same thing happens.

Btw. There is a solution = use USB cable to send files to the device instead altho it's far from ideal...

if your asking for help with Arch linux ? then I would think you should be better off asking at their forum ..

Re-read and check the dates please...

I was asking for help with PCLinuxOS back when I was using it. Guys are having the same issues I had in the past so they re-opened the thread.

I rarely ask for help with my Linux distro and if I do - I know better then to ask for help with distro x on distro's y forum..

Regards.

[scoundrel]

thanks for the clarification..

thanks for the clarification..

No problem. It was pretty confusing I can see it now.

Just an update on my situation with trying to get a bluetooth connection between my android phone and PCLinuxOS with KDE 4.10.1

I was able to connect the phone and laptop with Airdroid and Kies (Samsung app) but was unable to send files at all. Then I found a free app in the Google Play store called Bluetooth File Transfer  by Medieval Software. With Blueman (Gnome app) AND Bluedevil (KDE app) installed and running on the laptop, I installed Bluetooth File Transfer on my phone, switched it on, it connected and I was able to transfer files immediately from my phone to the laptop. It worked!!

It may be due to the Synaptic update I just did which had a bunch of glib updates which may have fixed the bluetooth connection problems?

So, those of you still trying to get a working bluetooth connection with your Android phones, try that Google Play store app >  Bluetooth File Transfer by Medieval Software.

[AndrzejL]

I don't have (and never will) any android phones so this changes nothing to me - I have a simple Nokia N73 with a Symbian 3rd generation OS. Wondering what changed... I used to be able to send the files to phone using Bluetooth / ObexFTP...

Anyway. I will keep searching.

Regards.

Andrzej

Hey Andrzej,

Oh, you use Symbian. I see.

I forgot about trying to send files just by bluetooth without using an Android app so I just tried and it worked!! I was able to send a file from my phone to my laptop. Something changed after the synaptic update I did yesterday >

Exactly what happens here too. According to notifications in the laptop the transfer would have been initiated and the KDE system tray starts to show progress. While on the phone I get a prompt informing that transfer is being initiated, very soon it changes to say that transfer was aborted.

I use Nokia E6-00 which is also a newer generation Symbian.
