    [SOLVED] USB Bluetooth adapter recognized but not working

    Hello ,

    Hi to all afer a long time absence , hope someone can lend some knowledge.

    The usb adapter is detected :

    Code:
    reel@BM2LTSR66RBin:/media/hd/home/reel$ lsusb
    Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0bda:8179 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188EUS 802.11n Wireless Network Adapter
    Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
    Bus 006 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
    [B]Bus 005 Device 002: ID 0bda:8771 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. [/B]
    Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
    Bus 004 Device 002: ID 04d9:a01c Holtek Semiconductor, Inc.

    Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
    reel@BM2LTSR66RBin:/media/hd/home/reel$
    But Bluetooth not detected . There`s no switch on the pc to toggle .

    Code:
    reel@BM2LTSR66RBin:/media/hd/home/reel$ sudo service bluetooth restart
    bluetooth: unrecognized service
    reel@BM2LTSR66RBin:/media/hd/home/reel$
    The usb device is also not blocked :

    Code:
    reel@BM2LTSR66RBin:/media/hd/home/reel$ rfkill list
    0: hci0: Bluetooth
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: no
    Thanks for any help in advance.

      @claydoh, many thanks for those links , unfortunately i don`t understand the workaround , i do understand that the driver needs to be compiled, i.e. using the make command .

      I have the driver folder on my desktop but how do you upload a folder ?

      In any case i am clueless as to install the driver.

        Hi
        claydoh has posted the elegant way to do it.

        But, do you have "Blueman" or any such installed and just tried clicking the various options?

          Hello, thanks for all the help.

          Finally got Bluetooth working installing an updated Blueman deb package.

          I had version 1.23-git201403102151-ubunty1 and upgraded to 1.23-git201406261335-deb-1.

          Hope this helps someone .
