I am trying to connect airpods and my other pair of headphones to xps13 ubuntu 18.04. My laptop can find bluetooth devices; however, I always get that not set up status. I tried setting it up by clicking on the not set up, but it won't. How do I fix this?

Installing package "blueman" will help you.

Install blueman by typing to terminal:

sudo apt-get install blueman bluez-utils bluez bluetooth

Now launch Blueman and then connect your devices from the blueman window by searching followed by pairing.
