-- Partially solved -- I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 13.10 to Sony Vaio. I had bluetooth file transfer (both ways) working nicely before that in 12.04. Now I faced this problem.
I managed to partially fix the problem of transferring files from phone to computer by doing the following: 1. I installed the package "gnome-user-share" 2. Started "Personal File Sharing" from Ubuntu menu 3. Added ticks to following boxes - Share public files over Bluetooth - Require remote devices to bond with this computer - Receive files in Downloads folder over Bluetooth - Notify about received files This solved the problem with receiving files from mobile device (Android in my case) to computer. Which is the most important part for me. But I still can't send files from computer to the mobile through Bluetooth. If I try this, I get the error message: "GDBus. Error:org.openobex.Error.Failed: Unable to request session" -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Unity API bugs, which is subscribed to Bluetooth Menu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1148033 Title: GDBus.Error:org.openobex:Error.Failed: Unable to request session Status in Bluetooth Menu: New Status in “gnome-bluetooth” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in “indicator-bluetooth” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: I'm using 13.04 and i can't send file from my netbook to my phone via bluetooth.
