Public bug reported:
Bluetooth works (Asus Zenbook UX301LA) neither on Ubuntu 16.04 nor Linux Mint
17.3 (both systems updated).
Bluetooth used to work on previous versions of Ubuntu and Mint. The Asus is two
year-old and a quick look inside the pc shows no sign of dirt. It doesn't seem
possible to remove the wireless card without resorting to wire-cutting +
soldering.
the following occurs:
1) with wifi enabled (wifi works perfectly):
a) icon in taskbar is grayed out;
b) click on icon>can turn on bluetooth + can't turn on visibility>bluetooth
settings>both bluetooth and bluetooth visibility appear as "off" + the message
"bluetooth is disabled" appears.
2) with wifi disabled and after re-booting Asus:
a) icon in taskbar lits up;
b) click on icon>can turn on bluetooth + can't turn on visibility>bluetooth
settings>bluetooth appears as "on" and bluetooth visibility appear as "off" +
the message "bluetooth is disabled" appears.
here are a couple of terminal outputs (if relevant, forgive my total
ignorance on the subject):

additional info: I tried to update the bios - extracted the latest BIOS
207 (if I chose the right one in the first place) - onto flash card but
Bios>Advanced>Start EasyFlash can't detect any file on my
(FAT32-formatted) flash card.
any idea?
