Hello,
I have an old BlackBerry Z30 successfully paired with my Fedora 32 desktop. I can send files to the phone from Fedora without any problems. But, for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to receive files from the phone.
Every time I try to share a file over BlueTooth from the phone to my paired desktop, the phone starts the transfer and then immediately errors out with the message, "Failed to find service".
I've tried a number very random things, but nothing seems to work. I don't even know how to start explaining what I've tried. :/ Frustrated doesn't begin to explain what I'm feeling right now because two other file transfer methods from the phone that have worked in years past refuse to work now. I figured that Bluetooth would be the simplest!
Is this suppose to just work or have I neglected to do something?
I've not done this in a long time since I've found that using "kdeconnect" with a KDE desktop is faster transferring files over the network.
What I think you may be missing is the bluez-obexd package being installed. Once you install that and logout/login you should have /usr/libexec/bluetooth/obexd running under your username. I believe that is the the service needed.
