When trying to connect my bluetooth headphones to my computer using blueman I get the following error. Connection Failed: blueman.bluez.errors.DBusFailedError: Resource temporarily unavailable

I am using the Kubuntu flavor of ubuntu. (On a originally Xubuntu system)

I had to unpair/pair my device again. Restarting bluetooth service didn't help.

run this to reset its configuration. turn off and on bluetooth and connect bluetooth headphone again. i had same issue on ubuntu 16.10 and it solve it! in this case you don't need blueman. run this and in Sound setting select your headphone 

rm -r ~/.config/pulse; pulseaudio -k

I often have this issue:

blueman.bluez.errors.DBusFailedError: Resource temporarily unavailable

with blueman on Ubuntu Mate 18.04 when waking the machine up from suspension.

Simply restarting the bluetooth service with:

sudo systemctl restart bluetooth

and rescanning usually resolves the issue quite easily.

I used the following command and it solved my problem:

sudo apt-get install pulseaudio-module-bluetooth
pactl load-module module-bluetooth-discover

Then try to reconnect your bluetooth headset.

Try restarting Pulse Audio, as also mentioned above. These commands worked for me.

pulseaudio --kill
pulseaudio -vvv --start

I received this error as the headset was already connected to another device (my phone). Check that the device you are wanting to connect to your Ubuntu instance is not already connected to another device, such as a mobile telephone, and then try to connect again.

One very easy thing you have to try before anything else, is check that there isn't any other device that is already connected to the device via bluetooth. For me it was my phone, which was connecting to a bluetooth speaker automatically. Once I disconnected it and restarted bluetooth adapter on my machine it worked out.

I'm using Plugalbe USB Bluetooth adaptor and ran into a similar problem. As their website site explains; "issue stems from a lack of support for these profiles on the Broadcom BCM20702 chipset found inside our device". The site provided a BCM20702 firmware update file with installation instructions which worked for me. Here's a link to that site. I hope this helps. https://plugable.com/2014/06/23/plugable-usb-bluetooth-adapter-solving-hfphsp-profile-issues-on-linux/
