Hello, I try to connect my bluetooth headset. Firstly, I start the bluetooth daemon: $ sudo /usr/libexec/bluetooth/bluetoothd Why I run bluetoothd with sudo? Because otherwise, it fails: $ /usr/libexec/bluetooth/bluetoothd D-Bus setup failed: Connection ":1.175" is not allowed to own the service "org.bluez" due to security policies in the configuration file Secondly, I connect the bluetooth headset: $ bluetoothctl [bluetooth]# spierre@desktop:~$ sudo bluetoothctl [NEW] Controller 00:60:57:33:62:AE BlueZ 5.37 [default] [NEW] Device 00:22:37:34:9A:56 Philips SHB9150BK [bluetooth]# power on [CHG] Controller 00:60:57:33:62:AE Class: 0x000104 Changing power on succeeded [CHG] Controller 00:60:57:33:62:AE Powered: yes [bluetooth]# agent on Agent registered [bluetooth]# pair 00:22:37:34:9A:56 Attempting to pair with 00:22:37:34:9A:56 Failed to pair: org.bluez.Error.AlreadyExists [bluetooth]# connect 00:22:37:34:9A:56 Attempting to connect to 00:22:37:34:9A:56 Failed to connect: org.bluez.Error.Failed Why I run bluetoothctl with sudo? Because otherwise, it hangs then I need to do Ctrl+C: $ bluetoothctl [bluetooth]# Why there is a failure please? Do you think that the "native headsets" option should be set to "yes" instead of "no" in my pulseaudio-8.0 configuration*? Thank you. Best regards.
