[Bug 1581814] Re: can't start bluetooth

 

apport information

** Tags added: apport-collected rosa

** Description changed:

  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):

Title:
  can't start bluetooth

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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
