Bluetooth not showing any discoverable devices

When I open the bluetooth devices to pair a new device, nothing shows up.

bluetoothctl

bluetoothctl

shows a controller, and i do

scan le

scan le

it shows me a ton of things, but

scan on

scan on

and

scan bredr

scan bredr

show nothing or find nothing.

Solution

nvm, it now all of a sudden started working. maybe this successful pair rejiggered it
