Set Up Bluetooth in Linux

  1. Start by installing bluez*. It adds a bunch of drivers and will most likely be the reason why your headset works now.

     sudo apt-get install bluez*
    

  2. Install blueman, this will help connect to your headphones.

    sudo apt-get install blueman
    

  3. Go into the file /etc/bluetooth/main.conf

    sudo vim /etc/bluetooth/main.conf
    

  4. Change the following lines:

    ControllerMode = bredr
    
    or
    ControllerMode = dual
    

  5. Save the file and exit, then run the command:

    sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart
