Troubleshoot, fix and enable Bluetooth on Kali Linux
In this short tutorial, we’ll show how to enable Bluetooth on Kali Linux. We’ll go through the commons steps for setting up the Bluetooth and cover different situations and possible issues:
- check if you have all core system packages in place
- assure that your Bluetooth device is not blocked
- install Blueman package
- check service status and start it if it’s not already started
- potential issues and solutions:
- an issue with libgcc-9-dev package— to solve this issue check out this tutorial
2. Check if you have all core system packages in place
If you installed the basic/core version of Kali Linux, it’s good practice to do do the update and upgrade after the installation, so that you have a complete package list. For that purpose use the following commands:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade
If these commands results say that everything is up to date and you’re sure that you didn’t do any updates on your new system, check the contents of the /etc/apt/sources.list fille. For this purpose, you can use any text editor, for example, nano:
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
In my case, I downloaded and installed a rolling release and I didn’t have any repositories configured. The contents of my sources.list file was as follows:
# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 2019.4 _Kali-rolling_ - Official Snapshot am> #deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 2019.4 _Kali-rolling_ - Official Snapshot amd> # This system was installed using small removable media # (e.g. netinst, live or single CD). The matching "deb cdrom" # entries were disabled at the end of the installation process. # For information about how to configure apt package sources, # see the sources.list(5) manual.
deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main non-free contrib
After I did this, I executed update&upgrade again, waited for a half an hour and in the end I actually had all things in place.
3. Be sure that your Bluetooth device is not blocked
Sometimes, it happens that the Bluetooth device itself is blocked/disabled. This could happen due to software or hardware reasons. To check the device status, use the rfkill list command:
0: ideapad_wlan: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 1: ideapad_bluetooth: Bluetooth Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 2: hci0: Bluetooth Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 3: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no
Assure that the Bluetooth device you’re trying to use for the connection is not blocked. In case that it’s blocked, use the following command to unblock it:
sudo rfkill unblock bluetooth
For a more detailed tutorial on rfkill tool, check out this tutorial.
3. Assure that Bluetooth service is started
If your Bluetooth device was blocked/disabled, it’s a chance that the Bluetooth service is not started on your machine, so start it using:
sudo service bluetooth start
4. Install blueman package
Blueman is a Bluetooth manager with great UI that uses blueZ in the background. It will help you to easily manage your Bluetooth devices. If you don’t have it already, install it using
sudo apt-get install blueman
In this step, I had the issue with package versions saying:
After all of this goes fine, you’ll see the Bluetooth icon next to the clock and you’ll be able to connect and use your Bluetooth devices.

Bluetooth не работает на Kali Linux
Ну, у меня была проблема, что Bluetooth всегда был выключен. Я захожу в конфигурацию-> Bluetooth, и каждый раз, когда я пытался его отключить, через некоторое время просто выключается. Я попытался с этой командой: Способность установить Bluetooth а потом беги /etc/init.d/bluetooth start после этого я запустил статус /etc/init.d/bluetooth и вот что показывает:

Кажется лучше, но это все еще не работает. Когда я захожу в настройки Bluetooth, он всегда выключен. После нажатия кнопки «Старт» изображение выглядит следующим образом: образ PS: я знаю, это не проблема с оборудованием, потому что, если я загружаюсь с Windows 10, он работает правильно.
Windows 10 Kali Linux Bluetooth device not showing in search
I have downloaded my Kali Linux in virtual machine . My Bluetooth is working and it’s on but for some reason it not showing any device in search . It just shows searching for devices.
Please clarify your specific problem or provide additional details to highlight exactly what you need. As it’s currently written, it’s hard to tell exactly what you’re asking.

Are you trying to connect bluetooth devices in windows 10 or in Kali Linux inside your virtual machine?
Which VM program are you using (check if there are any bluetooth settings)
Also make sure windows defender isnt blocking anything from your kali linux install etc (dont think that is the problem here but always worth a try)
Try this inside kali linux terminal:
service bluetooth restart
I am trying connect it with kaliLinux In VMware –
Make sure you have connected Blue Tooth to the Kali Machine.
VMware Menu, VM, Removable Devices, and select Bluetooth. Disconnect from Host and Connect to the Virtual Machine.
Once connected, you should be able to use Kali Settings and Blue Tooth Manager to set it up.
If you cannot connect Blue Tooth in Removable Devices, that means your host Blue Tooth cannot be connected inside the Kali Virtual Machine.
How To Install Bluetooth Adapter in Kali Linux [2023]
With the increasing popularity of Bluetooth devices like mice, keyboards, and headsets, it can be difficult to imagine using the wired versions of these devices. Some Linux distributions as well as kali Linux come with preinstalled Bluetooth for you right out of the box. But sometimes it doesn’t work. However, I will guide you on how to install Kali Linux Bluetooth.
Many Linux users complain that the Bluetooth adapter does not work after a fresh Kali Linux installation. Bluetooth connectivity issues in Linux have been around for a long time. Many users get trouble sharing their documents with others. Others struggle to link their PCs to their handhelds or headphones in order to listen to their favorite playlists or binge-watch videos.
This problem still exists in the Ubuntu LTS and Kali Linux versions that were just released. There are a lot of user complaints about this on the Linux forums. So, in this post, we’ll show you how to solve this problem once and for all.
Probable Kali Linux Bluetooth problems
- Bluetooth Adapter not working
- Bluetooth toggle not showing in the top panel
- Can’t turn on the Bluetooth service
- Kali Linux Bluetooth Manager is not found in the application menu
- The system seems to recognize devices, but cannot actually find any devices.
How does Bluetooth work in Kali Linux?
BlueZ is the official Linux Bluetooth stack. It provides, in its modular way, support for the core Bluetooth layers and protocols.
Currently, BlueZ consists of many separate modules:
- Bluetooth kernel subsystem core
- L2CAP and SCO audio kernel layers
- RFCOMM, BNEP, CMTP, and HIDP kernel implementations
- HCI UART, USB, PCMCIA, and virtual device drivers
- General Bluetooth and SDP libraries and daemons
- Configuration and testing utilities
- Protocol decoding and analysis tools
