I assume you have loaded ASCOM properly.

You only need the Bluetooth transmitter part of your "Bluetooth to Serial 
adapter", the part that connects to the bottom of the hand control. You set up 
the transmitter to a "detect" mode (may involve some sort of reset...in my 
StarryNight Bluestar it is achieved by pushing a paper clip into a hole in the 
back and pressing a small reset switch), then have the computer's Bluetooth 
application search for it and pair.

In Windows, the com port that the Bluetooth is connected to can be found in 
Control Panel/System/Hardware/Ports. I don't know Ubunto but it must have 
something similar that can tell you which serial port the Bluetooth is 
connected to.

Once the computer and transmitter are paired, you go to CdC and set up the 
telescope interface with the ASCOM Celestron driver. You choose the telescope 
(Nexstar/CPC) and then the com port. Then try to connect.
