I was having the same issue with my Samsung Buds 2 Pro and Ubuntu 22.04. I solved it by following these steps:

  1. Put the buds on their case but keep the case open.
  2. While on their case, press both buds for a few seconds until the LED in the case starts to change between red and green (or blue and green, I don't remember).
  3. Go to Ubuntu's Bluetooth settings and select your Buds.
  4. Enjoy!

You have to enable the galaxy buds into pairing mode by steadily tapping both side of the buds for about 3 seconds or more until you hear the beeping sound. You know that it is in pairing mode if you hear a beeping sound every second. Go to Bluetooth settings in Ubuntu and you can see the Galaxy buds in the list of devices. Click the device name and you're done.

I was able to connect to my Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro using bluetoothctl command-line tool. Open terminal and type bluetoothctl to open the tool. Then in bluetoothctl type devices to list all bluetooth devices. For me there were two devices with title "Galaxy Buds2 Pro". Tried to connect both devices with pair command e.g.:

pair AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF

For me the second try was successfull.

Note that having Ubuntu Bluetooth GUI open makes buds unusable and not connectable. Also Ubuntu Bluetooth GUI floods the bluetoothctl with lots of [CHG] ... log lines so better to close the GUI first.

I'm not exactly using Ubuntu(I'm on Linux Mint), but in my case, I changed my device's Bluetooth visibility(from hidden to open).

Previously my Galaxy Buds got disconnected as soon as I tried to connect, but changing the Bluetooth visibility immediately solved the problem. Hope it helps.

I had a similar problem but with Galaxy Buds Live. The solution here: https://askubuntu.com/a/1228816/55855 helped me!
