@Harmut (hesse-hsr) Thank you! I just tried your "hacking fix" and it works very nicely indeed :) . Now the bluetooth headset shows up fine in the sound settings panel and I can switch on A2DP profile; without problems.
Incidently, I did not encounter the reported Blueman crash, which @Hartwig Kolbe reported. Hopefully Blueman developers will finally try to issue a permanent fix! Thanks again also to @David for his discovery of the failure root cause. - Colum -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1283003 Title: [Bluetooth + 14.04] Bluetooth headsets are not working after last couple of updates Status in Blueman - Bluetooth Manager: Confirmed Status in “blueman” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “gnome-bluetooth” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “pulseaudio” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Hi, I found a bug in Ubuntu 14.04 ! I tried to pair a bluetooth stereo headset (A2DP compatible). The pairing process goes well, but after that I can't select it on the audio preferences. When I select it, it only shows the last selected item options and don't do anything. (he should switch to the headset output). I must mention that it worked very well on Ubuntu 12.04. This bug can be in the bluetooth stack or in unity-control-center or maybe pulseaudio. I actually have no idea.
