Bluetooth settings won't open Ubuntu 20.04

Question

I am trying to open the Bluetooth settings in order to pair a device, but I cannot open the Bluetooth settings window even though Bluetooth is ON. Did anyone come across this and found a solution?

EDIT - I can't open other settings as well (Wi-Fi, battery)

Try to run these 2 commands in your terminal :

sudo rmmod btusb
sudo modprobe btusb

This should probably fix your issue.

Thank you for your answer. However, It didn't work, and I can't open battery and Wi-Fi settings too. – Januka samaranyake May 23 '21 at 07:07

Depending on your version of Ubuntu, you might be able to debug it by entering gnome-control-center in the terminal. I did and got the error version 'GLIBCXX_3.4.30' not found (required by /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libjavascriptcoregtk-4.0.so.18). Once I saw that it was easy to fix with conda install -c conda-forge gcc.

This is because our Settings icon is not visible on left side of the window.Ue below commands to fix the issue:

sudo apt-get remove unity-control-center
sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt-get install unity-control-center
