I've been using the script from #57 in 16.04 & 16.10, but in 17.04 I switched to GNOME and now the script fails since it cannot find an a2dp sink. After some research, it seems that the problem is with GDM starting its own pulseaudio process (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1526658#p1526658). If you think you might have the same issue, first check your pulseaudio instances:
$ ps aux | grep pulseaudio gdm 2578 4.3 0.1 2350536 12896 ? S<l 15:40 2:10 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog user 1533 4.3 0.1 2350536 12896 ? S<l 15:48 2:18 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog If you see a process owned by gdm, you can try to disable pulseaudio spawning by gdm during startup: $ sudo nano /var/lib/gdm3/.config/pulse/client.conf autospawn = no daemon-binary = /bin/true $ sudo chown gdm:gdm /var/lib/gdm3/.config/pulse/client.conf Restart and #57 should now work. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1438510 Title: [REGRESSION] bluetooth headset no longer supports a2dp in 16.04 xenial and 16.10 yakkety To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/pulseaudio/+bug/1438510/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
