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:
This will bring up your 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
– JimDeadlock
May 21 at 16:18
"no such file or catalog"... hmm, probably I do something wrong...
– Helly
May 21 at 16:25
when I type the command You wrote, it says "no access".
