Yan: How can I work Bluetooth device (ar3012)? It is not working.

Thank you for your interest. I think, all necessary packages are installed. Unfortunately I couldn't find any solution.

I don't know anything about this bt device, I have

$ lsusb | grep -i bluetoo

Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth

Dongle (HCI mode)

I can say following as general instructions:

Have you seen the kernel drivers loaded?

$ lsmod | grep bt

btusb 36864 0

btrtl 16384 1 btusb

btbcm 16384 1 btusb

...

etc

Have you installed all related packages? Following should be ok.

$ dpkg -l | grep blue

ii blueman 2.0.4-1

amd64 Graphical bluetooth manager

ii bluez 5.43-2

amd64 Bluetooth tools and daemons

ii bluez-firmware 1.2-3

all Firmware for Bluetooth devices

ii bluez-obexd 5.43-2

amd64 bluez obex daemon

ii bluez-tools 0.2.0~20140808-5+b2

amd64 Set of tools to manage Bluetooth devices for linux

ii libbluetooth3:amd64 5.43-2

amd64 Library to use the BlueZ Linux Bluetooth stack

ii pulseaudio-module-bluetooth 10.0-1+deb9u1

amd64 Bluetooth module for PulseAudio sound server

ii python-bluez 0.22-1

amd64 Python wrappers around BlueZ for rapid bluetooth development

you then either use blueman-applet (with gui) or bluetoothctl (command

line). Notice here the firmware package - either unplug/plug the device or

driver reload is required to load the firmware after installation.

there are plenty of howtos for both of them on the net

write back if you have further questions
