ubuntu 18.04 LTS does not detect Samsung Level U

I have ubuntu 18.04 and it does not detect my Samsung Level U headset. Although it has no trouble detecting my phone and other devices.

I'm sure the headset is working and discover-able because i'm using it with my phone.

Tried to use this:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ bluetoothctl
Agent registered
[bluetooth]# scan on
Discovery started

And my device is not there. I also tried scanning with Blueman but it also won't find it.

My Laptop is Acer Aspire VN7-592G.

Any idea about this problem? Thanks!

This worked for me:-

  1. switch on the Bluetooth on your laptop and headphone
  2. press the pairing button(it's present below the volume keys) on your headphone
  3. for a few seconds you should be able to see the name of your Bluetooth device on your laptop
  4. connect it

I assume you have installed Blueman.

sudo apt install pulseaudio-module-bluetooth
killall pulseaudio 

Reboot, try Blueman again.
