I'm running an 5 yrs old laptop Dell Vostro 1015 "Intel Core 2 Duo" and found out last week that bluetooth is not working and my thought was there's missing a driver and need to be manually downloaded I spent many days / hours looking for the right one and perhaps I found the right solution, open your source list then add this: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/bluetooth/bluez/ubuntu bionic main

After adding it to your source lists run the following code:



apt-get-update
apt-get full-upgrade
Or you can manually download directly at : http://ppa.launchpad.net/bluetooth/bluez/ubuntu/dists/bionic/main/binary-amd64/
But I still prefer the first one as it works easily.

And now my bluetooth is working.

You should have tried 4.19 before: apt update && apt dist-upgrade.

Adding other repos is not recommended and will likely break your kali, sooner or later.
