Bluetooth not really "turning on" on a Sony Vaio VPCEG
- by marcioAlmada
On a Sony Vaio VPCEG, bluetooth is not working properly:
The gnome-shell bluetooth indicator (at the main bar) shows the
bluetooth is on, but when I try to switch visibility on it simply
doesn't turn on.
When I open the bluetooth configuration dialog, the on/off indicator
shows me the bluetooth is off. And when I try to turn it on it simply
does not turn on.
The following is outputted by lsusb command:
