My bluetooth does not work at all. I can turn it on in settings but it will not search for devices or turn on visibility.

I ran lspci -knn | grep Net -A2; lsusb and got the result:

01:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8723BE PCIe Wireless Network Adapter [10ec:b723]

Fairly new to ubuntu, are there any other commands I should run to get the help I require to fix this?

Thanks in advance.

May I ask how old is your computer and is your computer Bluetooth ready? meaning do you already have the BlueTooth adapters installed on your machine.

What distro of Ubuntu are you currently running on your computer?
