Blueman in Jessie doesn't verify passkey from phone
Prior to upgrading from Wheezy to Jessie, it was a simple matter to pair
an Android phone with my laptop. Since then I cannot get the two to pair
up.
Right-click on the Blueman icon and select Devices. Click the yellow star
so I trust my phone. Press the keys icon to pair up. I should see some
sort of dialog asking if the passkey provided by my phone is okay. This
doesn't happen. I can, however, get them paired uip using bluetoothctl at
the command line like this:
$ bluetoothctl
[bluetooth]# agent on
Agent registered
[bluetooth]# pair DE:AD:BE:EF:F0:00
Request confirmation
[agent] Confirm passkey 437301 (yes/no): yes
...
[CHG] Device 4C:A5:6D:76:70:8C Paired: yes
Pairing successful
[CHG] Device 4C:A5:6D:76:70:8C Connected: no
Did I forget something or is Blueman in Jessie misbehaving?
