As the Bluetooth stack is working these days, even on the 64-bit edition of Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS, most of the recommendations to aggressively reinstall or reconfigure seem obsolete indeed: http://askubuntu.com/questions/131570/how-do-you-make-ubuntu-accept-files-sent-over-bluetooth http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32392216/cannot-share-via-bluetooth-file-not-sent-error
I.e. the workflow when pairing a phone needs to be fixed to include prompting to tick those items (as attached), possibly not suggest Bluetooth > Devices > Use your mobile phone as a network device (PAN/NAP)" by default, as well as hints to turn Bluetooth off and on again once after pairing, on both the computer and the phone, and that a little lock icon appears next to the Bluetooth icon in the taskbar once a file transfer has successfully been initiated. Also, the meaning of the Reveal button in the pop-up notification may need to be clarified. ** Attachment added: "Personal File Sharing - Receive Files over Bluetooth - Notify about received files" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-user-share/+bug/1406108/+attachment/4770532/+files/Personal%20File%20Sharing%20-%20Receive%20Files%20over%20Bluetooth%20-%20Notify%20about%20received%20files.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1406108 Title: Alert user if "Receive files in Downloads folder over Bluetooth" is not checked on incoming transfer To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-user-share/+bug/1406108/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
