It looks like it can not connect?

Ctrl C does not exit out.

This is quite a challenge. Did anyone else have this hard a time with getting bluetooth going?

I don't know, but my wife connected her Amazon speaker with her cell phone. It didn't seem that hard as she is not technical.

My best bet is to restart the Echo device you are trying to pair and try and see if the device has some buttons that operate with bluetooth - mainly is there any reset option to return the settings to factory defaults just in case - somehow restarting and resetting just fixes all the issues, don't know why but that usually works the best

Also check in your bluetooth gui app if you can search for the device there on your computer gui - you should have an option to see devices ready to pair up

And also - if you've got a smartphone/iphone try to turn the bluetooth on the phone and see if you can see your desktop in the bluetooth options as recommended device you can pair - phone should be able to see your device if I'm not mistaken
