Fixing Bluetooth Issues in Kali Linux
I recently ran into a frustrating problem on my Lenovo Ideapad 5 Pro running Kali Linux — Blueman refused to start, throwing the dreaded “Connection to BlueZ failed” error. It turned out my Bluetooth service wasn’t even running. Here’s how I diagnosed and fixed it.

Step 1 – Confirm the Adapter is Detected
First, I checked whether my Bluetooth hardware was visible to the system:
lsusb | grep -i bluetooth
Step 2 – Check the Bluetooth Service
Next, I checked the status of the Bluetooth daemon:
systemctl status bluetooth
Step 3 – Enable and Start the Service
To fix it, I simply enabled and started the service:
sudo systemctl enable bluetooth
sudo systemctl start bluetooth
Then I confirmed:
systemctl status bluetooth
