ben44b,

Someone corrected a similar problem by installing bluetuith in LM 21.1(that is NOT a typo by the way):

Thank you for your help beachboy.

I installed bluetuith correctly. A terminal opened up when I started it but nothing happened. Just a flashing cursor.

When I run this command I get:

Code:
systemctl status bluetooth.service
○ bluetooth.service - Bluetooth service
    Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/bluetooth.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
    Active: inactive (dead)
      Docs: man:bluetoothd(8)

Feb 19 13:36:39 Bernie systemd[1]: Condition check resulted in Bluetooth service being skipped.
Feb 19 13:37:58 Bernie systemd[1]: Condition check resulted in Bluetooth service being skipped.
Feb 19 13:48:08 Bernie systemd[1]: Condition check resulted in Bluetooth service being skipped.

I installed Linux Mint 21 in Legacy mode and not UEFI. Could that be the problem?

Thank you.

Love Linux. :hattip:
