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
