bluetooth keyboard
hello,
somebody gave me an old macmini and a bluetooth keyboard.
I don't know anything about bluetooth.
I'd like to use the keyboard with buster because the wired keyboard wire
is not long enough.
I got a usb bluetooth dongle (whatever they are called)
The kernel seems to see it from dmesg

but the desktop menu item to select the bluetooth adapter does not find
any adapter.
It appears to be there.

root@slinky:~$ bluetoothctl

[bluetooth]# devices
No default controller available

what to do to enable the adapter and get keyboard working ?
