Receive files via Bluetooth on Ubuntu

Jan 082015

By default, nothing happens when you try to send a file to your Ubuntu machine via Bluetooth. Pairing doesn’t help. I found the solution at Tech Areena:

1) Launch the Personal File Sharing settings, which can by found via a search in the Unity Dash.

Personal File Sharing

2) Enable receipt of files via Bluetooth.

Cannot see cursor in vi-mode with oh-my-zsh on Ubuntu

I’m not sure who is to blame here, but using vi-mode in oh-my-zsh in Gnome Terminal on Ubuntu, I find that when I move from word to word, the cursor vanishes briefly. This negates the efficiency of trying to edit with vi keybindings! Simple work-around: install roxterm.
