posted in: Linux, Tutorials | 0

Many laptops today come with Bluetooth. For desktops however, most likely you need to go buy a Bluetooth USB dongle.

To check if your Linux PC recognizes your Bluetooth USB dongle type the following in the terminal

$ lsusb |grep Bluetooth

You should get something similar to this:
