Rookie needs help with Bluetooth

Folks, i've always wanted to be able to use a BT keyboard that i have (LogiTech K380) with my UnRaid Tower (v 6.8.3).

When i plug in a cheap BT dongle (branded Nexus) it never lights up.

So i did some research and found this article on Reddit :- 

Bluetooth Keyboard/Mouse : unRAID (reddit.com)

I downloaded & installed NerdPack (blueZ flavour) - all seems fine. If i enter "/etc/rc.d/rc.bluetooth start" the command seems to run fine.  I get returned to a command prompt. But when i then try to run "bluetoothctl" the command hangs, apparently.

 

Q1) i noticed when installing NerdPack it said it was dependent on Dynamix WebGui.  I cant find anything called that specifically, so i downloaded Dynamix Sys Info, in case that was enough.  Can anyone guide me ??

 

Q2) can anyone explain why "bluetoothctl" command hangs ??  I believe its meant to launch some interface.

 

thanks in advance

Richard
