I have a new Dell OptiPlex 7080 that came with a Dell USB Bluetooth dongle, but it doesn't appear that any effort was made to install its drivers or to otherwise insure that it would work with Ubuntu 18.04. When I bring up the "Settings" app and select "Bluetooth", I see "No Bluetooth Found."
The device shows up when I do an "lsusb":
Code:
]root@pmena-7080=> lsusbBus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 008: ID 413c:8505 Dell Computer Corp.
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0000:3825
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 1c4f:0002 SiGma Micro Keyboard TRACER Gamma Ivory
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0bda:b812 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
However when I run "bluetoothctl" to interact with the dongle, it's clearly not there.
Code:
pmena@pmena-7080=> bluetoothctl
Agent registered
[bluetooth]# power on
No default controller available
[bluetooth]# devices
No default controller available
For its part, the bluetooth service is running:
Code:
root@pmena-7080=> systemctl status bluetooth
● bluetooth.service - Bluetooth service

How might I go about finding and installing the Device Driver I need (assuming that it will work with Linux)?
Thanks in advance
