I am new to Ubuntu (and to the whole world of Linux) and am using Ubuntu 20.04. I have completely uninstalled windows and installed Ubuntu on my system. Now when I go to the settings to connect to Bluetooth, this is what it shows me enter image description here

Earlier, when I was using windows, Bluetooth would occasionally cause problems but would work just fine most of the time.

Could someone please help me with this issue as I have my classes going online and have to use my Bluetooth headset. Thanks in advance for what I know is going to be a very helpful answer.

I had a similar problem on Ubuntu 21.04 and checked Unable to switch on Bluetooth Among others but here's what I did so that I could get my Bluetooth service going and manage with app:

$ sudo rmmod btusb

$ sudo modprobe btusb

$ sudo apt install blueman

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:blaze/rtbth-dkms

$ sudo apt-get update

$ sudo apt-get install rtbth-dkms

$ sudo systemctl enable bluetooth

$ sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth start

$ sudo apt-get install blueman

Then you should have an app you manage any (near) devices available.

  • Thanks for your prompt response. When I give the first command, i.e. (sudo rmmod btusb) It gives an error (rmmod: ERROR: Module btusb is not currently loaded) – Budhayan Jun 14 '21 at 16:10
  • Hi, take a look at [link](https://askubuntu.com/questions/915235/error-to-load-module-btusb-with-kernel-4-10-0-20-generic) to see if this helps. – mike mcleod Jun 17 '21 at 11:05
