Bug Description
This is a regression between Hardy and Intrepid
== Regression details ==
Discovered in version: Intrepid
Last known good version: Hardy
== Affected use cases ==
Receiving files via bluetooth
== Known workaround ==
- use Ubuntu Hardy
- use "browse this device" function (note that browsing a device is not the same as being able to receive files from another device)
== Potential future workaround ==
- install and use gnome-user-share, an universe package that depends also on Apache... and that is currently broken (Bug #289487)
== Description ==
In Feisty, the user was forced to install and run an obex server to be able to receive files
In Hardy this was fixed and there were options (always accept files, ask user, never accept files)
In Intrepid there is no more options, so I don't know if my computer is supposed to be able to accept files or not (because of Bug #211252)
Bluetooth is severly broken in Intrepid and there are many regressions (Bug #211252 and Bug #289836 for example)

AFAIK it is now required to install a package from universe (gnome-user-share) to be able to set up bluetooth file reception.
This is really bad as bluetooth file reception is a core feature of bluetooth. I was really happy that bluetooth file reception was easier to set up and working better than on any other OS. Now you have to install packages, (that depend on Apache !).
