    @JosefKlimuk This is not a duplicate of that. The question is how to get a bluetooth host inside a VM, not how to connect to a device via terminal. – dobey Apr 16 '18 at 14:30

    Please [edit] your question and include specific information about what version of Ubuntu you are on, which VM environment you are using (Hyper-V, VMWare, kvm, etc…), and what host OS you are running on, so that one might be able to answer your question. – dobey Apr 16 '18 at 14:31

If you want the VM (using virtualbox) to access an internal bluetooth device then it is not possible. From Virtualbox

There is no progress and there will not be any progress in medium term. Bluetooth devices could work when connected via USB but we don't plan to support any internal bluetooth hardware so far. It's a lot of work with a questionable benefit

Otherwise if you are using a bluetooth USB then check this answer here

if you using vmware products this might help
