I'm trying to get my bluetooth speaker working with Ubuntu 16.04 Gnome. It connects but doesn't show up in sound output devices list.

I've tried few suggestions

sudo -i pactl load-module module-bluetooth-discover

Output:

Connection failure: Connection refused
pa_context_connect() failed: Connection refused

I had the same issue. In this post is pointed this solution.

Basically, you have to create/edit the file /var/lib/gdm3/.config/pulse/client.conf

And add the following configuration lines

autospawn = no daemon-binary = /bin/true

And give to GDM the ownership

sudo chown gdm:gdm /var/lib/gdm3/.config/pulse/client.conf

Retart GDM and it is solved

for Ubuntu 20.04 this worked for me:

pulseaudio -k
pulseaudio --start
sudo service bluetooth restart
