Obex with no X

Obex with no X

[Rafael Seste]

Hi all,

I'm trying to use obex to retrieve the contacts from my mobile using PBAP.
In the test folder I'm only able to run obex-test and it retrieves all
contacts from my mobile. But I would like to use the python scripts
and they aren't working.
I'm running it with bluez 4.42 and kernel 2.6.30 without the X
installed, I installed libopenobex from ubuntu repo.

When I ran pbab-client the output was:

dbus.exceptions.DBusException:
org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ExecFailed: dbus-launch failed to
autolaunch D-Bus session: Autolaunch error: X11 initialization failed.

Googling  I found that SeesionDbus() need the X installed. So I
changed to SystemDbus(). I don't know if this is right.
After the output was:

dbus.exceptions.DBusException:
org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.FileInvalid: Cannot do system-bus
activation with no user

So I added to the file /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/obex-client.service
"User=root"

and the error changed again

dbus.exceptions.DBusException:
org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.FailedToSetup: Failed to setup
environment correctly


Is it possible to run obex with dbus with the X installed?
If so, what am I doing wrong? or what is missing?

thanks in advance

I don't think buses really depend on X, what happen is that normally a
session bus created by login. Please take a look at man page of
dbus-launch the section AUTOMATIC LAUNCHING seems to tell about the
relation of X and --autolaunch.

OTOH it shouldn't be difficult to have obexd on system bus so you
wouldn't have to bother creating an session exclusively for obexd.

I read the man page and found that the environment variable
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS is not exported.
I exported it with the same value from ~/.dbus/session-bus/ but it
still does not work. I got this error

dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoServer:
Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-EtKMcBkowv: Connection refused

Could you help me with that? I don't know much about dbus.

I changed to system bus and got an error;
Cannot do system-bus activation with no user
