Bluetooth setup docs seem a bit dated; my device, but with a different chipset, is on the hardware support docs, however.

How do I enable ______ so that I can access BT through the settings interface? The bluez package is installed.
I've tried a few bluetooth devices, it can't connect with any of them:
killing and restarting the applet:
thufir@mordor:~$
thufir@mordor:~$ killall blueman-applet
thufir@mordor:~$
thufir@mordor:~$ blueman-applet

I also have this device - the Cambridge Silicon Radio Bluetooth Dongle. I am running 16.04 so things might be different. First, the user interface. The command line is
bluetoothctlpart of the bluez package. If you run this command thelistcommand should show you the device.Then the graphical interface, you should be able to find the Bluetooth item in the Settings panel. This is all distinct from the blueman package.
