Thanks. I should add that the solution I mentioned above may not be the actual thing that made it work.
I also installed the following packages : bluetooth blueman bluez- hcidump bluewho python-bluez bluez-tools. To me the bug is of critical importance because it prevent a very basic and common functionality from working. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to bluez in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1248470 Title: Bluetooth finds no device in 13.10 Status in “bluez” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Bluetooth was not usable on my computer after a clean install of Ubuntu 13.10 with updates installed (on 2013-11-06). I could "enable bluetooth" in the unity indicator applet but when I tried to configure a device everything appeared like no device was found (GUI showed infinite search for a device with no device found). I got it working after searching online and running: sudo usermod -a -G bluetooth $USER ( found on http://askubuntu.com/questions/363401/cant-enable-bluetooth-13-10 ) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bluez/+bug/1248470/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
