Ubuntu 18.04 - cannot turn bluetooth on












4














After installing Ubuntu as a dual-boot to Windows 10, everything looks fantastic, but one thing is a bit irritating... I cannot turn Bluetooth on. My laptop is a Samsung NP350E7C-S04PL.

Welcome to Ubuntu! I'm assuming you have the latest version 18.04, so first you need to find your Bluetooth settings which you can either go to via the main Settings menu, or direct from your panel search:



Find Bluetooth



This will bring up your Bluetooth settings:



Bluetooth Settings



From here you can enable/disable Bluetooth. It will scan for any nearby devices, then you can click on them to pair.



If you have problems doing any of this, then it's likely that you've accidentally disabled the Bluetooth switch on your laptop, in which case it won't work in Windows either.



Update - try this:



sudo echo 'AutoEnable=true' >/etc/bluetooth/main.conf && /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart

    Hi! Problem is I can't turn this button "on". It's off and when I try to "switch" it to on, it thinks for a long time, then it's "on", but still not working/disabled. When I access the settings again - it's "off". It worked on Windows, and not working now...

  • Have a look at /etc/bluetooth/main.conf - it should have this (uncommented) at the end - AutoEnable=true

  • "no such file or catalog"... hmm, probably I do something wrong...

    @Helly try doing sudo su and then the command (without the sudo in the beginning since you don't need it anymore)
