Public bug reported: Ubuntu 16.04 desktop edition does not properly initialize the bluetooh hardware in the Dell XPS 15 9530. lsusb show the hardware as:
Bus 003 Device 004: ID 0a5c:216f Broadcom Corp. BCM20702A0 Bluetooth Running bluethoothctl as root show only a driver named: [bluetooth]# list Controller AC:D1:B8:C0:CE:E4 ChromeLinux_7236 [default] I don't know what ChromLinux_7236 is. It does not seem related to Broadcom but rather Google. Scanning for bluethooth devices just timeout - assuming the ChromLinux_7236 is acting as some sort of stub answering the API but not providing any actual bluetooth device scanning. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Summary changed: - bluetooth HW not initialized Dell XPS 15 9530 + bluetooth HW not initialized Dell XPS 15 9530 (Ubuntu 16.04) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1595767 Title: bluetooth HW not initialized Dell XPS 15 9530 (Ubuntu 16.04) Status in linux package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Ubuntu 16.04 desktop edition does not properly initialize the bluetooh hardware in the Dell XPS 15 9530. lsusb show the hardware as: Bus 003 Device 004: ID 0a5c:216f Broadcom Corp.
