hi @petihar ,

blueman isn't working in fossapup please use menu>>network>>janky bluetooth and follow the instructions there

@666philb stebin here I had recently switched to fossapup and when I open the janky Bluetooth it is just opening the Bluetoothhcl in command line and when I'm going to type 'scan on' I was not able to type anything...what to do??

My pc is an old Samsung model one from the 90's
2gb is the maximum ram I can use.so you can understand how old is my motherboard and all that stuff

hi @Stebin_123

Does your screen show up your controller info or not? Do you see something like connecting to bluetoothd....?

I also seemed to get that error before my other puppy's savefile wiped out. I typed in a terminal bluetooth & and then open up jankyBT to resolve the issue at that time.
