Public bug reported: Binary package hint: bluez-utils
In order to search for Bluetooth devices from the GUI one needs to first run this command: sudo hciconfig hci0 inqmode 0 Only then do the GUI applications detect discoverable Bluetooth devices. GUI applications: nautilus-sendto, gnome-phone-manager, gnome-obex-send. These get fixed if you issue the above command, so this needs to be set in stone in the configuration from the get-go. ** Affects: bluez-utils (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Inquring for devices from GUI doesn't work due to misconfiguration https://launchpad.net/bugs/92866 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
