Trying to launch a BT adapter/manager(default installed on Lubu)a little window informs me that it cannot because there's no Bluez launched.

In terminal: sudo apt install bluez, it answers:
Bluez is already the new version (5.46-0ubuntu3)
Then invites me to remove a couple of obsolete packages.

So where's Bluez Daemon to launch?

Writing:systemctl status bluetooth.service ; hcitool dev

Answer:

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

Command:lspci -k | grep -A3 -i "wireless|network|bluetooth"

Sorry to bother, NOrbert, but I'm a real newbie; could you give me precise instructions? you mean I gotta write those linesdirectly after the cited answer?

So it seems that you do not have bluetooth hardware. Do you have any? Add output of lspci -k | grep -A3 -i "wireless|network|bluetooth" to the question.

I'm not completely sure, but it seems that you do not have Bluetooth PCI devices. Are you using USB one (connect it and add lsusb to the question)?

Do determine the status of Bluetooth subsytem you can do the following

Install needed bluez component:
```
sudo apt install bluez 
```

Check that your hardware has Bluetooth functionality (on PCI and USB), find adapter's serial:

lspci -k | grep -A3 -i "wireless|network|bluetooth"
lsusb | grep -i "bluetooth|radio"
hcitool dev

Check that adapter is not blocked by rfkill and then unblock it:
```
sudo rfkill list all
sudo rfkill unblock all
```

Check the status of corresponding systemd service:
```
systemctl status bluetooth.service
```

And of course you can determine the model of your device (for example, laptop), and check Bluetooth existence here.
