Bluetooth Headphones not appearing in the Device List

ca flag

I would like to use new headphones on my computer using Bluetooth. Bluetooth is working, is active. The headphones have been previously charged and set on. On my computer NUC8i3BEH I have Ubuntu 20.0 installed. When trying to activate the headphones on my computer I see other devices in the list but not the headphones (which I placed at 10-20 cm far from the computer). Now, I tried to use the headphones with my IPhone using Bluetooth and it worked. So the problem does not come from the headphones.

I made these tests :

dmesg | grep -i bluetooth; dmesg | grep -i firmware; lsmod | grep bluetooth

Result :

Then:

dpkg -l | grep blue

With the result:

And finally:

rfkill list all

With the result:

0: phy0: Wireless LAN
    Soft blocked: no
    Hard blocked: no
1: hci0: Bluetooth
    Soft blocked: no
    Hard blocked: no

Has anyone a clue to solve this problem ?

Is it related to a firewall issue perhaps ?

I sit in a Tesla and translated this thread with Ai:

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
