The connected plug doesn't appear until I exec the above commands. Clicking the plug without the above commands does nothing. bluez 4.51-0ubuntu2 libbluetooth3 4.51-0ubuntu2 pulseaudio 1:0.9.19-0ubuntu4 pulseaudio-module-bluetooth 1:0.9.19-0ubuntu4 hci0: Type: USB BD Address: 00:16:CF:F7:04:20 ACL MTU: 1017:8 SCO MTU: 64:8 UP RUNNING PSCAN ISCAN RX bytes:142026 acl:16520 sco:0 events:10116 errors:0 TX bytes:33958806 acl:39854 sco:0 commands:73 errors:0 (after above commands) Connections: < ACL 00:1A:80:67:63:2C handle 11 state 1 lm MASTER How can I get my machine to automatically pair with this headset?
