Please disregard the last comment; it's caused by a mixture of bad UI and my misunderstanding.
I do think the UI isn't doing the right thing - it should pick a default action based on class(es) provided by the device, not just try to use obex to do file exchange. It also doesn't provide ANY indication that selecting a service in the preferences will display a configuration panel allowing you to connect to devices providing that service. *bad UI! sit!* . Ahem. Anyway. At least the end result works smoothly and easily; it's just the configuration UI that's a bit odd. If anybody reading this encounters the same confusion I did: - Right click on the GNOME bluetooth applet - Choose "Preferences" - Select the "Services" tab - Select the "Input" service - Below the panel that appears in the blank space under the service list, click the newly created "Add" button - Select your bluetooth input device. -- Gusty: Not seeing bluetooth services even after pairing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/148712 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
