When upgradting to bluez 5.42, receiving files silenty fails with KDE's bluedevil. Downgrading to 5.39 resolves the issue Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Upgrade to bluez 5.42 2. Use KDE Plasma (Gnome might be affected as well, see below) 3. Try to receive a file Actual Results: Silently fails Expected Results: File is received there seems to be a patch that is recommended when using KDE / Gnome, see http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/general/bluez.html

(In reply to Pacho Ramos from comment #2) > We are applying that patch for years: > # http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.bluez.kernel/67230 > # Fedora patches > # http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-bluetooth/msg38490.html > > "${FILESDIR}"/0001-Allow-using-obexd-without-systemd-in-the-user-sessio.patch In this case it needs to be investigated why it stopped working with the 5.42 upgrade, as downgrading without any further changes resolves the issue. Until then I'd recommend to not stabilize 5.42.
But bluez works fine for me with Gnome (I have just retried I can send files properly)
Ah, ok, it's in the opposite direction: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=177061 https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/51284
