Sending files with bluetooth

I have been fighting my phone for some time. I wanted to send files from my phone to my pc and not to have to send them up to facebook or something stupid like that first.

And I haven’t managed. I have done some search but not found anything really good telling my why it will not work.

But today i found it.

I was missing some packages.

So after checking the web a bit more I did found ot the following list of packages a re required to get all to work:

And it installed obexd-client obexfs python-bluez python-obexftp. The rest of them was already installed.

And now my sending and reciving of files work as the should.

Only 2 small notes.

If you change the place where the bluetooth system should store file you need to restart the kbluetooth system. Easiest done on my system by just pressing the bluetooth button 2 times as the first one turn off bluetooth and second press starts it up again.

I also found out that I cant have spotify (or wine) running. If you do it seems that the receiving part is not starting.
