bluetooth keyboard

Show all headers | View raw

hello,
somebody gave me an old macmini and a bluetooth keyboard.
I don't know anything about bluetooth.
I'd like to use the keyboard with buster because the wired keyboard wire 
is not long enough.
I got a usb bluetooth dongle (whatever they are called)
The kernel seems to see it from dmesg

but the desktop menu item to select the bluetooth adapter does not find 
any adapter.
It appears to be there.

root@slinky:~$ rfkill
ID TYPE      DEVICE      SOFT      HARD
  0 bluetooth hci0   unblocked unblocked
root@slinky:~$ bluetoothctl
Agent registered
[bluetooth]# devices
No default controller available
[bluetooth]#

what to do to enable the adapter and get keyboard working ?

regards

mick
