I used to get the following error after each reboot. That started happening after the most recent Ubuntu 20.04 update.
Bluetooth: hci0: command 0xfc05 tx timeout Bluetooth: hci0: Reading Intel version command failed (-110) I verified that the following workaround works for me. Thankfully, it does not involve pulling out the power plug. First verify that your device is reported as DOWN. ~ $ hciconfig hci0: Type: Primary Bus: USB BD Address: 00:00:00:00:00:00 ACL MTU: 0:0 SCO MTU: 0:0 DOWN RX bytes:0 acl:0 sco:0 events:0 errors:0 TX bytes:4 acl:0 sco:0 commands:1 errors:0 If so, run the following command: ~ $ sudo hciconfig -a hci0 up and then reboot normally. I was able to use Bluetooth normally after that step. -- 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/1859592 Title: Bluetooth unavailable after updates - Reading Intel version information failed (-110) Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: After 10 days of uptime with automatic updates, I rebooted.
