Public bug reported:

Using the default GUI, I cannot pair my Apple Mighty Mouse.
The mouse is detected, but when trying to pair, nothing happens and it is impossible to connect.

It seems there should be an agent running to handle the pairing/pin stuff, I found that here:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/453655/ubuntu-14-04-bluetooth-magic-mouse-doesnt-pair-no-agent-available

It might be an issue with more devices, I did not test it.

So the fix:
In a terminal as a normal user do:
bluez-simple-agent
then use pin 0000 (worked in my case).

Description:	Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Release:	14.04

** Affects: bluez (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Package changed: gparted (Ubuntu) => bluez (Ubuntu)
