Are you having this problem on a laptop ? Laptops equipped with a Bluetooth controller usually are also equipped with an indicator. This is very often a Bluetooth logo backlit with a blue LED.
To see if your internal BT adapter is detected using the Terminal can you issue this command ? hciconfig -a If no Bluetooth controller is found, the above command will print nothing. Otherwise, it will print various technical information about the controller(s) found. If both method above fails to detect a Bluetooth controller even tough you believe it should, you will have to check to make sure the controller is actually enabled, as it is common for manufacturers to build a way in their computers to switch off Bluetooth. It is often just a hardware switch (which may also control the wireless network interface) and may have been turned off unintentionally. Look for such a switch, and make sure it is in the On position if you do indeed have one. Such a switch may also be implemented in software using a keyboard key combination. Very often, but not always, this key combination would be Fn-F2. Fn is a modifier key typically only found on laptop; it is usually located in the bottom left corner of the keyboard, and is labeled in blue. This key combination may also control the wireless network interface, so you may cycle the key combination a few times for it to enable or disable the Bluetooth controller. Watch the Bluetooth indicator LED for a cue, if you have one. Lastly, computers that came equipped with a Bluetooth controller built- in often have an option to have it enabled or disabled in the BIOS. You may want to check that too. -- logitech dinovo edge bluetooth sometimes works, sometimes not https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/151559 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
