From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

[SOLVED] A command to enable Bluetooth Connection? (imgur.com)

Every time I wake up PC from sleep I have to go to bluetooth settings -> select device -> enable connection to get sound on bluetooth speakers (Anker Soundcore). Bluetooth came with MBO and drivers were working out of the box after PopOS install.

I hope there is a command I can use instead of clicking in the GUI. Anyone know a command I could use?

[SOLUTION]

Using this command (with bluetooth speaker MAC address):

bluetoothctl connect A4:77:58:0A:DF:F1

[SOLUTION]

Bonus question: I was thinking I could map that command to a keyboard shortcut (like CTRL+ALT+B). What is the best way (or app) to accomplish this? I believe I could google this part quickly, but happy to hear suggestions anyway

[SOLUTION]

It's possible with PopOS: Settings -> Keyboard -> Keaboard Shortcuts -> Custom Shortcuts
