Bug 542792 – bluetooth file receiving does not work, "transfer forbidden by target device"

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Mehmet Giritli 2015-03-10 08:45:19 UTC]

After upgrading to gnome 3.14, also unmasking gnome-extra/gnome-user-share-3.14.2, I am having problems with bluetooth. Sending files from gnome seems to work ok. But receiving them fails with "transfer forbidden by target device" error message. I see these messages in the logs:

I finally found the problem. My cache dir was a symlink, which is forbidden by obexd.
