[Bug 1482914] Re: BCM2045 Bluetooth USB Device detected but not working

 

Just updated Kernel to latest (unstable) - 4.3.0-040300rc4-generic

NO change: kernel-bug-exists-upstream

dmesg | grep tooth

hciconfig hci0 up
Can't init device hci0: Operation not permitted (1)

sudo hciconfig hci0 up
Can't init device hci0: Operation not supported (95)

So, as a noob, I'm a little confused - adapter works fine when booting
to the various windows dual boot options I have on the same machine, but
not Ubuntu (although prior to my upgrade to 14.04 on the same machine it
did work).

Title:
  BCM2045 Bluetooth USB Device detected but not working

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Previous version of Ubuntu worked with my USB Bluetooth dongle (I used
  it for Bluetooh mouse).  However 140.4 LTS onwards is detecting the
  device, but the device cannot be enabled in any Bluetooth manager.

  Linux Asus-N56V-Ubuntu 3.16.0-45-generic #60~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri
  Jul 24 21:16:23 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

  >hciconfig hci0 up

  >hciconfig -a
  TYpe: BR/EDR Bus: USB
  BD Adress: etc etc...

  Have noted that this issue is common to several varieties of Bluetooth adapter, but raising this because this specific adapter did work in previous versions of ubuntu (64bit 12.10)
