My friend Max is a curse on Ubuntu. Whenever he’s near my laptop, something goes wrong, something crashes or doesn’t work the way it normally does. It’s okay though, I have the same effect on his Vista monstrosity.
It’s nice that Ubuntu supports bluetooth out of the box, I have had a little bluetooth icon in the notification area since I installed but what does that actually do? Right-clicking it gives some options and a “Browse Device” window which throws up an error when you try and connect to any nearby bluetooth device. Something like this;
“obex://[nn:uu:mm:bb:ee:rr]” is not a valid location.
I was trying to bluetooth a file to my phone and Max’s phone. Well, you’d assume it would be fairly simple, something like right-clicking on the file, then Send To, choosing Bluetooth and then selecting a device. No. Not by default anyway. To get this functionality I had to follow these instructions.
