Better Bluetooth in Linux Lite 4.x 18.04 Bionic - Valtam - 09-17-2019

If like me, you are experiencing flaky connections, bad file transfers, the following solution made everything work perfect!

Only use this if bad things are happening, most people should be fine, if it ain't broke...

Source - https://medium.com/@overcode/fixing-bluetooth-in-ubuntu-pop-os-18-04-d4b8dbf7ddd6

Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bluetooth/bluez

Code:
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Viola!

Now, if you are also not seeing where files are coming into in Linux Lite, they were going into, /home/jerry/.cache/obexd rather than /home/jerry/Downloads.

Fix:

Code:
sudo leafpad /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.bluez.obex.service

replace:

Code:
Exec=/usr/lib/bluetooth/obexd

with:

Code:
Exec=/usr/lib/bluetooth/obexd -r /home/yourusernamehere/Downloads

in my case:

Code:
Exec=/usr/lib/bluetooth/obexd -r /home/jerry/Downloads

Reboot, enjoy Smile

Is someone going to be able to fix the bluetooth connection problems in an update? My headset will pair, then immediately disconnect. Problem didn't exist in previous version
