Ok, this is really bad :(
Have you searched on Google or www.googlubuntu.com for similar issues? perhaps it's much better than waiting for someone else to reply.

I did-thanks for advice, but wasn´t able to read all similar issues-will try today. Thanks for helping. Well in ubuntuforums seems that also other have similar problem. So, maybe we will find solution.

Anyway, i made progress-succeeded in establishing connection and activating the sound box. Now, only sound should be fixed. :roll:

Actually I wish I could help you to fix this but I have no experience in these stuff. Sorry.

Yes, I subscribed to your thread and add you as a friend :) if you have any issue in future, feel free to contact me :)

I hope someone will give you a better advice but again, searching on google could save your time (better than waiting). Just keep us updated :)

Edit:
By the way, sometimes, there are some packages in Ubuntu that is not installed by default in Lubuntu. I had a Networking Issue before and I search on google and came to know that one of the packages that must be installed so that the network setting would be right is actually NOT installed by default. I compared between Ubuntu and Lubuntu installation and once I installed that package, everything worked perfectly. I'm just saying your case could be similar so a google search will give you what you want, hopefully :)

Finally - actually, it seems to be hardware problem by my computer. I tested the box on dell mini 9 with Lubuntu and it worked also fine. After that i just put usb bluetooth dongle to another USB - Port - and- voila!!! - works fine!
So it seems that one usb port on my shuttle doesn´t work as it should be.
Thanks a lot amjjawad for help-it seems that missing rfkill was the trigger here. MAybe also pulse bluetooth module-i just installed the same files on lubuntu that i have in Ubuntu, and all should be fine.

Hey, well done :D
This is great news. I have should thought about changing the USB Port ... I'll try not to forget that because I had faced same scenario before with some devices like USB Mouse, etc.

You most welcome but I have done nothing much :) you fixed it yourself ;)

If your problem fixed, please mark this thread as SOLVED (http://forum.lxde.org/viewtopic.php?f=0&t=206) and same goes to your other thread on Ubuntu Forum ;)

Edit: I edited your post and marked it as solved as explained in this topic ;)

UPDATE: actually i was happy to early. The box is playing good only at first connection after reboot. As soon as i close app (chrome, vlc) and open another and play something, i have that issue again. Does anyone knows what it should be, or what do i need to make it always working fine as by the first connection?

Still, little bit odd is that this error is not repeated on my macbook with ubuntu neither on dell mini 9 with lubuntu.

UPDATE again. Found help here:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pu ... y_problems
1. cp /etc/pulse/default.pa ~/.pulse/default.pa
2. comment out the "load-module module-suspend-on-idle" line in ~/.pulse/default.pa
3. pulseaudio -k && pulseaudio --start
So, finally the box is working as it should. But there is another problem now. If the bt speaker connected wit the computer is, wifi just stops to work-i mean, can not load movies/clips from internet with the box plugged in. :?

I opened for new problem the thread here. So, if anyone can help.
