[solved] Bluetooth daemon ?

Hello, I am trying to pair a speaker with my labtop. I have installed a few packets (blueman, bluez, bluetooth, bluez-tools). I have checked via several commands the status of my bluetooth connection :

benoit@benoit-nomade:~$ systemctl status bluetooth
● bluetooth.service - Bluetooth service
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/bluetooth.service; enabled)
   Active: active (running) since lun. 2018-02-26 16:56:39 EET; 22min ago
     Docs: man:bluetoothd(8)
 Main PID: 3039 (bluetoothd)
   Status: "Running"
   CGroup: /system.slice/bluetooth.service
           └─3039 /usr/lib/bluetooth/bluetoothd
benoit@benoit-nomade:~$ bluetooth
bluetooth = on
benoit@benoit-nomade:~$ sudo bluetoothctl
[sudo] password for benoit: 
[NEW] Controller 00:24:2C:EF:6A:E7 benoit-nomade [default]
[bluetooth]# 

The rfkill packet also confirms that my bluetooth is ok :

benoit@benoit-nomade:~$ rfkill list
0: samsung-wlan: Wireless LAN
	Soft blocked: no
	Hard blocked: no
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
	Soft blocked: no
	Hard blocked: no
2: hci0: Bluetooth
	Soft blocked: no
	Hard blocked: no

My problem is the following : I do not see how to launch a daemon to setup the pairing (as I find it easier to use than command-lines for everyday use), and to launch it automatically on startup. Command-lines such as sudo bluez or sudo blueman are "not found".

Thanks for your help.

Not sure if this is the answer you are looking for - have you ran bluetooth-manager to start the blueman-applet?

No I haven't, but the terminal response is the same :

benoit@benoit-nomade:~$ bluetooth-manager
bash: bluetooth-manager : commande introuvable

Re: [solved] Bluetooth daemon ?

Try

sudo apt install blueman
blueman-applet

I think it should autostart after that, add it to ~/.config/openbox/autostart if it doesn't.
