[Bug 305208] Re: Cannot transfer files between phone and PC through Bluetooth

[tqft]

I have a Samsung A411 a cheapo bluetooth dongle and setup was previously
working in 8.04.

Phone asks for password - which I am pretty sure I didn't set to connect
and then fails at pairing.

Failed repeated tries as others above -

Permissions issue?

I also note the wiki refers to the cli command hidd

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup#Setup%20Devices
"sudo hidd --search"

sudo apt-get install hidd
