I tried to reopen this bug but the options were grayed out? I was able to send files via bluetooth but not receive them.
The status is fix released but Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre (mathieu-tl) does not proposes fix. He stated 'Closing as Fix Released since as far as I know everything in this works properly'. What logic was used to closed under 'fix released' is beyond my grasp. Anyway. comment 5, which suggested installing 'obexpushd' resolved the issue for me. I restarted the bluetooth daemon after installing obexpushd Would someone who has the ability reopen this bug. obexpushd is neither a dependency nor recommends for gnome-user-share. Make it so. obex-data-server is a dependency but it appears only to support pushing files, not receiving them rperkins@htpc:~$ dpkg-query -W -f='Depends ----- ${Depends}\n Recommends ----- ${Recommends}\n' gnome-user-share Depends ----- gconf-service, libc6 (>= 2.4), libcanberra-gtk3-0 (>= 0.25), libcanberra0 (>= 0.2), libdbus-1-3 (>= 1.1.1), libdbus-glib-1-2 (>= 0.78), libgconf-2-4 (>= 2.31.1), libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.28.0), libgnome-bluetooth8 (>= 2.91.2), libgtk-3-0 (>= 3.0.0), libnotify4 (>= 0.7.0), libselinux1 (>= 1.32), libx11-6, gconf2 (>= 2.28.1-2), obex-data-server, gnome-bluetooth Recommends ----- obex-data-server is D-Bus service providing high-level OBEX client and server side functionality.
