Bluetooth will not pair - jgpacc - 10-23-2016
I tried using Ubuntu build initially but ran into problems getting wifi and bluetooth to work. Being impatient I swithched over to Debian to give that a try. Wifi started immediately but blue tooth was still a problem.
It will find my devices but will not pair. The bluetooth icon in the top panel changes color for about 3 seconds like it is connected but then goes back to black. Sometimes I get a banner travel accross the screen telling me to enter the key for the blurtooth keyboard. I enter it but it does not help.
I tried a few things I found in threads:
sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart
[ ok ] Restarting bluetooth (via systemctl): bluetooth.service.
debian@pine64:~$ sudo hcitool dev
Devices:
hci0 34:C3
2:BF:85:78debian@pine64:~$ hcitool scan
Scanning ...
00:10:61:00:AB:2F GT BT-Receiver
34:88:5D:5C:30:F0 Keyboard K380
I have tried to pair both devices but no deal.
Yes my gray cable is connected and wifi works using it now.
Would appreciate some help
Thanks

Thanks for your reply.
I added Synaptic, launched Synaptic GUI, updated all packages.
Went to install Blueman but it was already installed so I re-installed.
Did a reboot. Launched Blueman from top panel. Did a search for devices.
It found my speakers and keyboard. I selected keyboard and did a setup. It paused for a few seconds and said failed to pair. I tried the speakers and it did the same thing.
I read a thread named BT dated May 2016. It said bluetooth is not available in the LINUX kernal. Is that still true?
Thanks
