The first thing I wanted to do was to get bluetooth working. I followed the instructions here. The steps are pretty simple.
- sudo apt-get update
- sudo apt-get install -y bluetooth bluez-utils blueman
Then I used this bluetooth adapter: Plugable USB Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy Micro Adapter. I plugged it in and went to Preferences | Bluetooth Manager. I searched for devices after putting a bluetooth keyboard into discover mode. Once I found it, I hit "+" to trust the device. Then I right clicked on the device and selected "pair." I had to enter a PIN using my existing keyboard, hit enter, then enter that PIN on the bluetooth keyboard and hit enter.
Once it was paired, I trusted it by right clicking on the device and selecting "Trust." Then the Bluetooth Assistant dialog came up and asked if I wanted to connect to "Input Service" or "Don't connect." I selected "Input Service." The device connected and I could finally type.
Next step - get a webcam working.
