Bluetooth not working properly. Not detecting devices

rated 0 times [ 6] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 41816 / 3 Years ago, sat, may 22, 2021, 4:57:38

I'm a beginner with Ubuntu. I installed Ubuntu 14.04 on my Acer Aspire E11, and I have an issue with my bluetooth. The thing is it's not finding other devices and other devices can't find it.

I ran : ~$ dmesg | grep -i blue and here is the output

[   10.787194] Bluetooth: Core ver 2.17

[   10.787226] Bluetooth: HCI device and connection manager initialized

[   10.787237] Bluetooth: HCI socket layer initialized

[   10.787241] Bluetooth: L2CAP socket layer initialized

[   10.787248] Bluetooth: SCO socket layer initialized

[   16.114685] Bluetooth: BNEP (Ethernet Emulation) ver 1.3

[   16.114692] Bluetooth: BNEP filters: protocol multicast

[   16.114705] Bluetooth: BNEP socket layer initialized

[   16.168530] Bluetooth: RFCOMM TTY layer initialized

[   16.168547] Bluetooth: RFCOMM socket layer initialized

[   16.168557] Bluetooth: RFCOMM ver 1.11

It looks fine but It's not detecting anything.

This solution worked for me

I am happy to report that I have solved the problem using the workaround given on a bug report as follows:

Boot into Windows 7/8.

Turn off the Bluetooth/Wireless switch from within Windows.

Reboot and boot into Linux

Turn on the wireless switch.

This solution ensures that bluetooth and wireless now work.
