So I've bought an Asus Bluetooth 5.0 dongle, which worked nicely without any installation on Ubuntu 16.04. After a complete wipe of my machine and a reinstall to a fresh/vanilla Ubuntu 20.04 I don't see a bluetooth dongle in the system settings.

lsusb identifies the dongle as "Bus 003 Device 022: ID 0b05:190e ASUSTek Computer, Inc.", but the 'Settings' app tells me that there's "No Bluetooth found".

The first solution I posted didn't 'survive' a reboot. I adapted it to the solution given in this answer here, which works fine.

  • wget https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/wireless/USB-BT500/20200909_LINUX_BT_DRIVER_KERNEL_5.7_COEX_v0202.zip
  • unzip 20200909_LINUX_BT_DRIVER_KERNEL_5.7_COEX_v0202.zip
  • cd 20200806_LINUX_BT_DRIVER_RTL8761B_COEX_v020220200806_LINUX_BT_DRIVER_RTL8761B_COEX_v0202/usb
  • sudo make install INTERFACE=usb
  • sudo systemctl restart bluetooth
  • Unplug and reinsert the dongle, voila.
