just bought a laptop hp 630 with a licensed SLED 11.1 factory installation. i could access via bluetooth my samsung phone alright, at first, but after applying the patches bluetooth no longer works and while attempting to browse the phone i get the message: Method “CreateBluetoothSession” with signature “sss” on interface “org.openobex.Manager” doesn’t exist after some searches i got to grasp that it is a problem related to the obex-data-server package version . downgrading all the bluetooth related packages didn’t work. im clueless and lost at this point, any hints ? thanks in advance ---

Is the obex service running (as your user)? ```auto ps -ef |grep obex ``` Have you checked in the bluetooth settings to ensure the receive files setting is ok? – Cheers Malcolm °¿° (Linux Counter #276890) openSUSE 12.2 (x86\_64) Kernel 3.4.11-2.16-desktop up 10 days 15:58, 4 users, load average: 0.07, 0.05, 0.05 CPU Intel i5 CPU M520@2.40GHz | Intel Arrandale GPU ---

Hi AFAIK your update to SP2 would be from HP, please send a private message to user Arnaudk93 asking the procedure (He is a user but works for HP and can get you on the right track). ---
