Ubuntu Version:26.04
Desktop Environment (if applicable):Ubuntu running on HP Envy desktop with 32 gigs of mem
Problem Description:
Upon trying to send files from my Android phone to my Linux PC, I was unsuccessful. When I turn on the Bluetooth connection to my phone (see screen shot), it turns itself back off and I receive the following notification:
Activation of network connection failed
Note: when I was running Linux Mint, I could send and receive files with the same phone). From my phone I receive this message:
Pairing rejected by Marion-HP
This is the output I received from the terminal:
