WHY?
Using Ubuntu Core devices it is not always possible to access via SSH and bluez usually doesn't start up the bluetooth at boot.
USAGE
1 - install bluez to allow bluetooth usage:
"sudo snap install bluez"
2 - check dongle compatibility
"sudo bluez.hciconfig"
the log must show up the HCI devices with their state
3 - install bluetooth autosatart
"sudo snap install bluetooth-autostart"
4- connect if needed the proper interface:
"sudo snap connect bluetooth-autostart:bluetooth-control"
Post any trouble using GitHub: https://github.com/mauringo/autostart-bluetooth-snap
basically this app runs the "hcicconfig hci0 up" command. The command is executed with 5s delay thus, any other process that needs bluetooth must use it after 5s.

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
Snapd can be installed from Manjaro’s Add/Remove Software application (Pamac), found in the launch menu. From the application, search for snapd, select the result, and click Apply.
Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:
sudo pacman -S snapd
Once installed, the systemd unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
To enable classic snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between /var/lib/snapd/snap
and /snap
:
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
To install bluetooth-autostart, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install bluetooth-autostart
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
