Unbelievable. Now, after 2 years and a half waiting for this to be fixed, and without hearing a thing from any developer, it TURNS OUT THERE'S A SETTING for this... IN THE WRONG PLACE, which you would never find unless you google for it.
In Personal File Sharing there's a checkbox "Receive files over bluetooth". All you need is to enable that. - this setting should be under Bluetooth Settings instead of (or in addition to) under Personal File Sharing. - it should be accessible from the notification icon on the top-right corner of the screen -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/958661 Title: bluetooth suddenly rejects all transfers (worked yesterday) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bluez/+bug/958661/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
