Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: bluez-gnome
Information:
The Gnome Bluetooth applet finally has a feature which scans for and allows you
to connect to devices. However, the only method of connection it supports is
obex, which is not supported by Ubuntu by default. Trying to connect to any of
the devices shown brings up an error message complaining about the lack of Obex
support.
Steps to reproduce:
Install Gutsy on a machine with a supported bluetooth device
Make sure the bluetooth applet is running
Right click on the bluetooth applet and select "Browse device..."
Make sure a bluetooth device is in range, then try to connect to it.
Resolution:
Adding a dependency on gnome-vfs-obexftp would solve this issue. The package is
currently in universe, however, so this may be tricky.
Versions:
bluez-gnome 0.11-0ubuntu1
gnome-vfs-obexftp 0.4-1
** Affects: bluez-gnome (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New

'Browse device...' in the bluetooth applet is useless without gnome-vfs-obexftp
