This question is an exact duplicate of:
how to launch Bluez on Lubuntu
1 answer
Hey so pretty much what the title says, my BT isnt working, I have tried rfkill list, and nothing is blocked.Bluez launches but doesn't do much more than that, since I cant click on anything. Also checked on it with this command sudo service bluetooth status and its telling me its active (running) but every time I go to find a device in BT settings and I click the slider to turn it on, the slider goes blue like it is on, but it doesn't actually search for any devices, also I cant find it when I search on my phone. I don't think its really on because when I back out of the BT setting tab and go back into it the slider is in off position, like i never switched it on. Any help would be appreciated thanks!

ah yep sorry wasn't sure how to markdown will do next time, also i don't know about duplicate because bluez launches fine except Im unable to click on anything on its UI. I know this laptop has BT, it was there when it was windows, hasnt worked since linux. Could it be a kernel issue?

Not sure if this could solve your problem, but it has helped me finding devices that wouldn't appear in Ubuntu bluetooth search a while ago.
This script is used for bluetooth connection with wireless headsets.
