[Bug 1400079] [NEW] Bluetooth not working on Asus X751LA

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

This bug is associated with launchpad's question #257206. Since the
question did not receive any useful answer, I thought to scale up the
issue.

In order to be 100% sure, since I made several tests for another problem
I have with the touchpad, I reinstalled entirely the whole system, so
now I'm running a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04 on the mentioned
notebook.

The Notebook is equipped with a Qualcomm Atheros, the wifi is working fine - at least so it appears to me.
The bluetooth app is not able to activate the bluetooth.
I installed blueman, and through it I could switch on the bluetooth (at least it says it is on); however when I do a search. it cannot detect any remote device. Moreover, although I set the device as visible, it does not show up on other devices scanner.
Hcitool seems to detect the local device:

$ hcitool dev
Devices:
	hci0	54:27:1E:51:63:DE

However it does not detect remote devices:

$ sudo hcitool scan
Scanning ...
$

(this was after I set my phone as discoverable).

The kill list is clear:

$  sudo rfkill list
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
	Soft blocked: no
	Hard blocked: no
2: asus-wlan: Wireless LAN
	Soft blocked: no
	Hard blocked: no
3: asus-bluetooth: Bluetooth

4: hci0: Bluetooth
	Soft blocked: no
	Hard blocked: no

$ lsb_release -rd
Description:	Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
Release:	14.04

This is the version of blueman I installed, while hcitool came with the
ubuntu install:

$ apt-cache policy blueman
