Blueman is unable to find my bluetooth devices [SOLVED]
I'm currently using Mint 20 with up to date. I can't seem to find the right solution to this issue, I've tried all suggestions that I've come across googling this problem.

Re: Blueman is unable to find my bluetooth devices
Mint might want to update its inxi, -E/--bluetooth support was added specifically because it's so hard for support people to figure out what might be wrong with bluetooth, it took many iterations in inxi to get that support working because bluetooth is very difficult to actually pin down to create a useful support report, but as of 3.3.06, it's pretty decent now. Note that the version in debian next stable, 3.3.01, has only the first iteration of the bluetooth feature, it took 2 more after that one to get it stable and reliable.
Here's the rough things that can happen with bluetooth:
systemd bluetooth service: enabled/disabled, then, started/stopped
hciconfig: off/on
bt-adapter: off/on
rfkill: hardware: blocked/on; software: blocked/on
then one inxi can't handle due to the way the tool was written (it hangs endlessly if bluetooth is not enabled):
bluetoothctl: off/on
none of these know about the others, except for the core systemd service, if that is stopped or disabled, nothing else works. But hciconfig does not know about rfkill status, for example, so you can have rfkill on but hciconfig off.
Note that if mint uses the debian next stable packaged inxi it will be many years before you will be able to use inxi for support of bluetooth issues with any consistency or reliability.

Re: Blueman is unable to find my bluetooth devices
@JohanW54 - Please start a thread of your own, you have different equipment. It's also impolite and against forum rules to piggyback on somebody else's thread.
If you have found the solution to your initial post, please open your original post, click on the pencil, and add (Solved) to the Subject, it helps other users looking for help, and keeps the forum clean.

Re: Blueman is unable to find my bluetooth devices
I'm sorry but I don't understand, do you mean that my problem cannot be solved?h2-1 wrote: ⤴Tue Aug 03, 2021 1:31 pm Mint might want to update its inxi, -E/--bluetooth support was added specifically because it's so hard for support people to figure out what might be wrong with bluetooth, it took many iterations in inxi to get that support working because bluetooth is very difficult to actually pin down to create a useful support report, but as of 3.3.06, it's pretty decent now. Note that the version in debian next stable, 3.3.01, has only the first iteration of the bluetooth feature, it took 2 more after that one to get it stable and reliable.
Here's the rough things that can happen with bluetooth:
systemd bluetooth service: enabled/disabled, then, started/stopped
hciconfig: off/on
bt-adapter: off/on
rfkill: hardware: blocked/on; software: blocked/on
then one inxi can't handle due to the way the tool was written (it hangs endlessly if bluetooth is not enabled):
bluetoothctl: off/on
none of these know about the others, except for the core systemd service, if that is stopped or disabled, nothing else works. But hciconfig does not know about rfkill status, for example, so you can have rfkill on but hciconfig off.
Note that if mint uses the debian next stable packaged inxi it will be many years before you will be able to use inxi for support of bluetooth issues with any consistency or reliability.

No, they were just commenting about a new feature coming to the inxi reports. Please post the results for the following command:
