I am trying to connect airpods and my other pair of headphones to xps13 Ubuntu 18.04. My laptop can find Bluetooth devices; however, I always get that not set up status. I tried setting it up by clicking on the not set up, but it won't. How do I fix this?

Installing package "blueman" will help you.
First launch the terminal by pressing ctrl + alt + T
Then run the command in terminal:
sudo service bluetooth start
Install blueman by typing to terminal:
sudo apt-get install blueman bluez-utils bluez bluetooth
Now again type to terminal:
sudo service bluetooth restart
If not installed, install blueman:
sudo apt-get install blueman
Now launch Blueman and then connect your devices from the blueman window by searching followed by pairing.

Saved the Christmas! You will need to have lots of patience, even delete the pairing and pair again. But it'll work. – RicHincapie Dec 24 '21 at 21:03
