Re: Problem with gvfs-obexftp

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mate-bluetooth/ seems unmaintained. Maybe you can update it to use gvfs instead.
mate-bluetooth from the unofficial [mate] repo also depends on gvfs-obexftp but gvfs-obexftp is also unmaintained https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gvfs-obexftp-lite/

Try recompiling mate-bluetooth or ask the mate folks what to do.

Re: Problem with gvfs-obexftp

gvfs-obexftp was just removed from official repo, no idea why (I used that with thunar/xfce4…)
EDIT:

Drop obexftp backend, not ported to bluez5, so not usable anymore since gnome-bluetooth was ported to Bluez5.

Well i disagree… gnome-bluetooth isn't a requirement for using gvfs outside gnome -.-
EDIT2: And what a surprise - it compiled just fine! (against bluez4 ofc) :<

Re: Problem with gvfs-obexftp

Perform a full system upgrade now. The package mate-bluetooth has been updated to no longer depend on gvfs-obexftp. If upgrade is successful, mark this tread as solved.

Re: Problem with gvfs-obexftp

Are you sure that this is fixed? I tried to update from http://repo.mate-desktop.org/archlinux/ but I still get the error. Also https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mate-bluetooth/ in AUR still depends on gvfs-obexftp.

Re: Problem with gvfs-obexftp

@jsnlry if You don't resolve this in 3 days, poke me to create AUR package for gvfs-obexftp¹ wink
¹what will actually recompile whole gvfs and package only obexftp part :<

Re: Problem with gvfs-obexftp

Ok. I currently don't need bluetooth, so I just ignored the mate-bluetooth package, so that I am able to update my system.

I also saw, that gvfs-obexftp has been replaced with gvfs.

@dabholkarsa what did you mean with
> The package mate-bluetooth has been updated to no longer depend on gvfs-obexftp.
??? Which mate-bluetooth package in which repo?

Re: Problem with gvfs-obexftp

It isn't replaced, this is just faulty/misguiding entry in gvfs's PKGBUILD

Re: Problem with gvfs-obexftp

The problem is with mate-bluetooth which depends on bluez4 not bluez and with mate-user-share which depends on gvfs-obexftp.

Removing those two mate packages makes system able to update but there is no way to install those two packages again.
I hope someone can check and fix this.

I'd be really grateful.

After some googling I found fedora wiki with such quote:

MATE team:

mate-bluetooth has not received much upstream attention recently and is likely to not get ported to BlueZ 5 in time for F20. However, the Fedora MATE maintainers are looking into switching back to using gnome-bluetooth, and creating a panel applet for MATE that uses gnome-bluetooth underneath. An initial prototype is available at https://github.com/NiceandGently/bluetooth-panel-applet

Re: Problem with gvfs-obexftp

Sigh…
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gvfs-obexftp-bluez4/
As said before and in its comment - it recompiles whole gvfs and packages&&installs only tiny gvfs-obexftp module.
Feel free to hate && vote

Re: Problem with gvfs-obexftp

Thanks a lot swiftgeek!
As I can see elsewhere problem with bluez5 is much bigger and affects more than just mate.
Why it was pulled into core repo although it makes bluetooth file sending impossible?

Re: Problem with gvfs-obexftp

Bluez5 isn't the problem but (near-)end implementations in DEs (eg. Blueman is dead and i don't see anywhere any real alternative to it). So if somebody is using something beyond current Gnome or KDE … well we are stuck with orphaned, unsupported software quality of few months old pizza wink

It would be nice to revive blueman project though … eg. on github (IMO the best place for uncoordinated development)

They make great frisbees, assuming they're not partially eaten.

I don't think discussing it on Arch forums will change anything, you have to go somewhere upstream or fix stuff yourself, as swiftgeek suggested.

Re: Problem with gvfs-obexftp

Again, there is no upstream to those projects anymore :]

I'm proposing blueman for revival on github because IMHO it was the best DE-neutral end-user software wink

Nobody alone has time for such revival (python2→3, gtk2 →3 or completely toolkit-neutral, bluez4→5, and few new extensions - namely those for weird pairing styles eg. wiimote, support for new NetworkManager) but with enough spare timers it should be possible
It would be a huge loss to desktop linux to just leave it to rot…

(After revival of blueman, gvfs-obexftp port to bluez5  is obviously trivial, if not done sooner by gnome itself)

I meant the teams who work on DEs, but if they're not interested in supporting anything else than the latest bluez, you're on your own.

Re: Problem with gvfs-obexftp

But we aren't using those DEs - this is from where problems comes from big_smile
Don't think about mate-only… more like flux/openbox wink *

*Yet another rephrase - there are Gnome3, KDE5 and "Others"
