Does anyone know what steps to take to get Mint to acknowledge Bluetooth devices? I've heard uninstalling all Bluetooth-related packages and reinstalling them sometimes works, but I can't figure out how to make that effective.

My setup:
Code:
System:

Whenever I search, no devices are found. However, I do see Bluetooth running:
Code:

I've never had any of my several Bluetooth devices connect as of yet.

This is a new build, but everything Mint was installed without issue. I don't know if there is a conflicting plugin, or a missing part of the program, but I have had no luck getting anything to be acknowledged whenever I search for new devices.
