[Bug 1590798] [NEW] Can't connect Bose Soundlink II Headphones to Ubuntu

[Fred Ferguson]

Public bug reported:

I've recently started using 16.04 on a Dell XPS 15 9550 and I'm unable
to pair my Bose Soundlink II headphones. I've tried using the stock and
blueman bluetooth managers and neither will work.

When I use bluetoothctl and run "pair [Device ID]" I get the following
error:


Failed to pair: org.bluez.Error.AuthenticationFailed

I have seen several references to this online but believe there are
still problems in 16.04

bluez:
  Installed: 5.37-0ubuntu5
  Candidate: 5.37-0ubuntu5
  Version table:
