gnome-bluetooth not working properly
Solution 1
Solution found, not sure why that works.
sudo apt-get install pulseaudio-module-bluetooth
reboot your system.
sudo systemctl start bluetooth.service
now open the gui utility for the bluetooth and make sure bluetooth is set on "on"
in the terminal type
bluetoothctl
make sure that the command
show
actually shows something similiar to
Name: debiansystem
Alias: debiansystem
Class: 0x0c010c
Powered: yes
Discoverable: yes
Pairable: yes
...
now trust, pair and then connect to your device.
This worked, at least for me
Solution 2
I was also having the same problem with bluetooth and Debian 8, tried a lot of things but nothing worked with gnome-bluetooth. I was following the instructions on this page: https://wiki.debian.org/BluetoothUser/a2dp so I did
sudo apt-get install pulseaudio pulseaudio-module-bluetooth pavucontrol bluez-firmware
then
systemctl restart bluetooth
and althought I have the gnome-bluetooth I could not manage to make it work so I installed the blueman-applet by
apt-get install blueman
Then opened the Bluetooth Manager program which I just installed (Make sure gnome-bluetooth is closed) and that's it, I was able to pair my Bluetooth speakers. The only missing step is to open Sound in Settings and choose my Bluetooth speakers as output.
Hope that helps!!

I want to connect my headset via bluetooth on Debian 8. I run from terminal
systemctl enable bluetooth systemctl start bluetooth
Then I use gnome-bluetooth, I see the device and try to connect, what happens is just that the connection is lost everytime after less than a second, so that the status of the device become "disconnected". Also If I do not run the commands above, gnome-bluetooth does not see the device. I googled the issue, and it seems it is quite common, but I found no solution.
This is the output of lsusb:
