It does not work for me. On the settings, bluetooth option is permanently disabled. System Info: Ubuntu 22.10, Gnome: 43.1. Please give any solution.

tx man but it doesn't work for Linux Mint 20.2 Cinnamon

Thanks for the video. I didn't have to use your tips to get bluetooth working on Mint but could never get it to work reliably. One day it would work & something would break, blueberry or blueman same result. So I gave up on bluetooth & just use wired headphones or speakers. Same bluetooth gear including earbuds and headphones work perfectly on Windows 10 and iphone. When using wired headphones I cannot tell any difference between Linux Mint and Windows 10. TLDR: I think bluetooth on Linux sucks real bad!

Blue berry doesn't exist anymore on the app installer

[hamidazizi]

didn't work for cause there is no blueberry in ubuntu store

[zetacrucis]

Not sure about blueberry and blueman on the same system. I think it's best to uninstall one before installing the other, and then keeping just the one that works.

on blueman "Connection Failed: Resource temporarily unavailable."

After doing this, blueman is not working in my PC. What is the problem?

[takato]
