[LAPTOP] Asus TUF FX505D Bluetooth not working

[coldsea]

The laptop is brand new and Kubuntu 19.10 was installed. There are two ssd in laptop, Kubuntu and Windows 10 are each installed to a different ssd.
The bluetooth shows up in Kinfocenter as a "Bluetooth Radio" manufactured by Realtec, the bluetooth software is installed and open when clicked. When the bluetooth software is started it does not show either "Devices" or "Adapters" when trying to set up a connection with Samsung phones or bluetooth earbuds. Neither of the Samsung phones show the laptop as a bluetooth device.
It would seem that for some reason the software cannot/will not interact with the bluetooth device when trying to set it up.

Thanks

I have been looking around on the net for possible fixes for my problem. If I run the command,
$ dmesg |grep -i firm
Then this is the output that I get.
$ dmesg |grep -i firm

It would seem to be a driver problem?
How do I fix this, or should I wait for upgrade to Kubuntu 20.04 and hope that the newer kernel have updated drivers?

Try Installing new kernel 5 by command: sudo apt install --install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-18.04 xserver-xorg-hwe-18.04

The problem is that while there exists an linux-generic-hwe-20.04 kernel in the repository the xserver-xorg-hwe-20.04 isn't.

Thanks GreyGeek, will give it a go.
