If you wish to transfer files using bluetooth (from mobiles for instance) then there are a couple of packages that are required for bluetooth to work correctly. Without these packages bluetooth is recognized and allows you to connect, however you can't transfer files, not sure why but the solution is easy.
To fix the problem run the following command: sudo apt-get install gnome-bluetooth bluez-utils python-bluez Once you have done that to transfer files to your computer or off of your computer there is a application under Applications -> Accessories called Bluetooth File Sharing, run this application and everything should work perfectly -- Swarandeep Singh Director,Event Management & Finance CSI NSIT Students Branch | http://societies.nsitonline.in/csi Undergraduate Student, IT Department NSIT, Delhi University, India
