Description

Bought a Bluetooth USB adapter from AliExpress, and trying to set up it on my Ubuntu machine. Could someone help with it? Ready to provide any logs, just let me know in comments.

NOTE: It's not a laptop, it's PC

I have typical symptoms:

Plugged in adapter

Open Bluetooth GUI menu

Tried to turn on Bluetooth, but nothing happen

I already checked few answers on SO, but nothing helpful.
Thanks in advance!

As per official documentation,
please post the output of (ref)

$ lsusb               *** You already did

$ hciconfig

$ hciconfig -a hci0   *** As this appears to be your bluetooth device

Plus, there are a few posts on issues with the device with the same Vendor ID/Device ID numbers as yours (0a12:0001).

Bluetooth adapter configuration issue (ID 0a12:0001). Note the answers, which, aside from requiring you trying somewhat cumbersome procedures, they are encouraging as for the chances of you getting the dongle up and going. It is not worth reposting here the solutions, as they are in askubuntu.
