This bug is not a duplicate of bug 872044. (although its symptoms sound similar)
I tested the workaround that is mentioned there: it does not work for me. My bluetooth adapter is not even able to change the "sspmode": it answers "Can't set Simple Pairing mode on hci0 - Input/Output error (5)". Furthermore this bug exists since Natty 11.04, whereas bug 872044 affects Gnome 3 (Oneiric 12.04 and later). Thanks for pointing out this other bug. Although it's sad to see that Linux bluetooth support gets even worse. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-bluetooth in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/839157 Title: Bluetooth applet (OBEX send/browse) does not work anymore To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bluez/+bug/839157/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
