Public bug reported:
using mac mini 6.1, dual boot, but only Ubuntu 12.04 LTS used for many
years.
I never had any problem using apple aluminium bluetooth keyboard
I recently upgraded to 16.04, everything was fine for about a month,
then bluetooth failed to load on start,
via search engine eventually discovered workaround, boot into OS X 64bit,
no need to login or anything just pick option and reboot.
then bluetooth just works again.
not clear what stops it working, I had updated today, and was using
keyboard/mouse
when I discovered bluetooth logo missing from top bar....
#1001825 may be related? currently 12.04 specific
Mac mini 6.2 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3615QM CPU @ 2.30GHz

in top bar.
