/apps/bluetooth-manager/receive_enabled does not work

[Nicolò Chieffo]

Binary package hint: bluez-gnome

I've set the gconf key /apps/bluetooth-manager/receive_enabled = true
Unfortunately it does not seem to be possible to send files using my phone.

I really don't know where to find additional information, sorry

the gconf key was used to receive file from devices, but the feature was removed, please use gnome-user-share now

Sorry, can you explain why did you decide to remove the feature? I'd
like to understand the sense...
I don't want to installa apache2, I just want to send files to my pc
using bluetooth.
In fedora and windows this is possible.

[Baptiste Mille-Mathias (bmillemathias)]

This is not under ubuntu packager decisions but upstream developers.
perhaps older fedora ships a previous version package which has the sharing code, but I'm sure in Fedora 10 the sharing is done by gnome-user-share.

Oh ok, in fact the applet is the same as fedora. But... is it really
needed apache? It's a heavy dependency!
