help with bluetooth adapter install

Post by dadsbad202 » Sun May 31, 2020 12:26 pm

I’m new to Linux just set up Mint replacing windows 8 on my old desktop. So far all is working fine and a lot faster! I purchased a USB Wi-Fi Bluetooth plug in and when I go to Preferences then Bluetooth it says no Bluetooth adapters found. My Question is what is the next step to discover my adapter. also on the package it said was completable with Windows and Linux OS Thank you

A quick bit of googling returned a number of interesting results, and this review web site was a top search result:

Thanks Portreve, found just what I was looking for. I’ve been looking for one for some time now. Good price, and Linux compatible.

Just a follow up to my previous post. I received my BT dongle today and it worked right out of the box. The pairing process was painless and worked the first time. I am using it to hook up my Dewalt portable radio to my laptop for much improved audio output. No more cabling needed. Works great for data with my Android phone as well.
I used the guide provided but was unable to find an exact match for the product on amazon in my country. I did, however, find a product that was using the same chipset, CSR V4.0.

That’s wonderful news, kelevra! I’m glad you found something that works well. You have now aided the rest of us on here so that we now know that chipset-based adapter indeed works.

I have bought three USB adapters for W10 and could not get them to work with the CD or download the Zip file. Sending one back this week for refund.I followed the instructions a few times but no joy. No one on Amazon would help. Failure is not an option, it comes bundled with Windows.
I do remember the last one said to look at the lower right of the PC screen, It said to touch the iPhone screen to pair. Did not work.
They work fine in my Lenovo Cinnamon laptop with no CD drive which I bought from Amazon pre-loaded with Mint.
All I look for is Bluetooth and enter my name and then look at my iPhone10 for same name and pair. I have Bluetooth hearing aids. Much better than ear buds.
Looks like the PC has to have Bluetooth in it. Not sure of that.
I have the ZEXMTE, ROCKETK, AND SENDING BACK THE TECHKEY. All from Amazon. All suppose to be for Linus as I recall.

Lindows, Linspire, Freespire, Ubuntu, Mint 15 Cinnamon, Mint 16 XFCE, Mint 17 Cinnamon 64 bit. MInt 18 64 bit Cinnamon.

+Right now if I click on the lower right of my PC screen it says add a device. The software is still in the PC. It nver worked when the device was plugged into a good USB port and the W!) PC is up to date as is the iPhone 10.

Bluetooth Adapter Not Found [SOLVED]

Post by agom08 » Sat Apr 02, 2022 8:14 pm

I recently had a fresh install of Linux Mint Cinnamon on my PC. Before the re-install my Bluetooth was working with no issues. Now when I open up the Bluetooth setting it states «no Bluetooth adapters found».
