bluetooth file browse non-functional

[Steve White]

This is Ubuntu 12.04 running from a stick.
I set a bluetooth phone to be "visible".

In Ubuntu 10.10 I could pair with the phone and browse files there.

System Settings -> Bluetooth ON
    Sucessfully pair with phone.
Dialog says
    Connection ON
    Paired YES
click Browse Files...
    **** nothing happens

So try clicking the bluetooth icon on the top bar.
Browse Files on Device...
Select device to Browse...
see phone in list, click it.
click Browse
    **** nothing happens

I really use this functionality, and I know I'm not alone.
Please make sure it's fixed before release!

And...please don't bug me about reporting this twice. The Ubuntu bug reporting facilities are a catastrophic, insane mess. If it gets any worse, you will find yourselves bug-free!

Gracias!

Hi,

I just asked this in a similar bug report, but this is all so confusing.

The present bug report is against 12.04.
The report you say this is a duplicate of is against Oneiric.

I went to the trouble of making the report to make sure the people working on the new release would fix the problem before the release.

Is there a proper way to target a bug report to the upcoming release?

It's fixed now in Precise and pending a stable update upload for Oneiric. It will be fixed in Oneiric soon.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
