Ubuntu 14.04 failure #20

Open sshtmc opened 9 years ago

sshtmc commented 9 years ago

Hi,

I tried running nuntius on Ubuntu 14.04, and got this error:

$ nuntius obtained bluez profile manager

\ (nuntius:10376): WARNING **: application.vala:143: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: Method "RegisterProfile" with signature "osa{sv}" on interface "org.bluez.ProfileManager1" doesn't exist

And then the program just hangs...

yeah, I think ubuntu 14.04 is too old for nuntius... would be great if you could check what needs to be changed to support that version of ubuntu too

pbor commented 9 years ago

I think that ubuntu still has bluez4 and we use bluez5.

At the very least we should check and exit gracefully with a message instead of hanging.

sshtmc commented 9 years ago

Unless you really need features that exist in bluez5 and not in bluez4, it would be much better if you could support both!

nacho commented 9 years ago

The problem is that if I recall correct bluez 5 is using dbus and bluez 4 is not....

I've gotten nuntius working on ubuntu vivid with this PPA enabled: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-desktop/+archive/ubuntu/transitions/+packages

...fyi if that helps anyone
