Mike Doherty, as per
http://support.toshiba.ca/support/isg/center/en/index.asp?s1=Notebooks2=Tecras3=R700s4=PT318C-00F001
an update to your BIOS is available (2.20). If you update to this following
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate does it change anything? If it
doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of
the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.
For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.
Thank you for your understanding.
** Description changed:
When I boot my machine, the bluetooth indicator isn't present. The
bluetooth section of the system control panel shows that bluetooth is
off, and bluetooth is disabled. But flipping the switch to on
doesn't actually turn on bluetooth -- the switch in the GUI gets flipped
to on, but bluetooth never actually comes up. If I navigate away and re-
open the bluetooth control panel, the switch will be back to off.
Still, `rfkill list bluetooth` lists two devices:
-
- mike@charron:~
- $ rfkill list bluetooth
+ rfkill list bluetooth
0: Toshiba Bluetooth: Bluetooth

- Hard blocked: no
+ Soft blocked: no
+ Hard blocked: no
1: hci0: Bluetooth

And hciconfig lists a device, marked DOWN:
-

- $ hciconfig
+ hciconfig

I can ask hciconfig to bring it up:
-
- mike@charron:~
- $ hciconfig up hci0
+ hciconfig up hci0

But neither the bluetooth indicator nor the bluetooth control panel
reflect that bluetooth is up.
- To get them to work, I run `sudo rmmod btusb sudo modprobe btusb
- rfkill unblock bluetooth`, which causes the bluetooth indicator to be
- displayed, and the bluetooth control panel to function normally. Having
- to reload the bluetooth kernel module seems like a bug.
+ WORKAROUND: sudo rmmod btusb sudo modprobe btusb rfkill unblock
bluetooth
+ which causes the bluetooth indicator to be displayed, and the bluetooth
control panel to function normally.
