Public bug reported: I plugged in a working Bluetooth USB adpater, and the Bluetooth section of the Gnome Control Panel does not detect it. It continues to say "Plug in a dongle to use Bluetooth." I've tried other USB ports (this computer is new within the last 2 months), but none detect the adapter. It's a Sabrent USB adapter, found here:

I tried rebooting the machine with the adapter plugged in and that didn't work either. Instead, nothing happened.
