Can confirm that this is currently occurring with pulseaudio 1:4.0 and the default Blueman package under Xubuntu 14.04.2 and Xfce 4.12.
Even though "load-module module-bluetooth-discover" is present by default in /etc/pulse/default.pa, it is not loaded at all on startup. It always must be manually loaded via entering "pactl load-module module- bluetooth-discover" in a terminal prompt, or running a script which does that on startup (after a roughly 8 second sleep period). Without the module loading at startup by default, it makes using devices like Bluetooth speakers a real hassle, and I strongly doubt the average user would be able to figure out an easy resolution to this issue. P.S. Installing the newer Blueman package as mentioned in comment 20, does resolve the issue though, and I no longer need to have the aforementioned script run at startup. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1274613 Title: module-bluetooth-discover does not load on login To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1274613/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
