Bluetooth headset not connecting - "input service"

[pingveno]

I am attempting to connect a Bluetooth headset to my computer, but I get this error message

"Sorry your Bluetooth Device does not support input Service."

These are the steps:

• Open Device Manager
• Click "New" button
• Go to Select Device in dialog box
• Turn on discovery on the device, the device immediately shows up
• Select the device, then click "Next"
• Dialog box shows: Checking Your Bluetooth Device for input capabilities
• Dialog box switches to: Sorry your Bluetooth Device does not support input Service.

The device is a 3XXPlantronics headset. The computer is a Thinkpad T510 (bought 5 weeks ago, received 3 weeks ago) with integrated Bluetooth (ThinkPad Bluetooth with Enhanced Data Rate (BDC-2 / BDC-2.1)). The headset fully works on Windows 7 and on Bluetooth capable phones. The laptop full works on Linux with a Bluetooth mouse.

I am having that same problem with a different headset, I am using 10.04 all of the updates installed but i cannot for the life of me get it to connect to my headset. But this is only a problem with KDE's backend i believe, with the same hardware on normal ubuntu, aka gnome i am able to use my headset.

you guys should try the blueman bluetooth manager , kbluetooth is not 100% working everywhere. it will be changed to another bluetooth manager in maverick so i would not expect to many fixes to be coming out for it.
