No Bluetooth Found - Plug in a dongle to use Bluetooth - Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS

Question

I have an issue where my bluetooth randomly cuts out, like so:

I have read some existing Ask Ubuntu posts on this issue.

I followed this post: Bluetooth randomly cutting out in Ubuntu

and ran sudo apt install -y linux-oem and restarted my computer, but I'm still having the error.

I also looked at this post "No Bluetooth found Plug in a dongle to use Bluetooth"

but the output of rfkill list all was:

0: phy0: Wireless LAN
    Soft blocked: no
    Hard blocked: no

What other fixes are there to this problem?

Solution 1

First, run this command for switching on devices

hcitool dev

After that run this

sudo systemctl restart bluetooth

for checking status of your, Bluetooth run this

systemctl status bluetooth

Solution 2

You can simply try to perform a cold reboot. It worked in my case.

Did not completely fix the issue for me, but at least it helped me get closer as i now have a non-dead output returned from systemctl status for the bluetooth.service.

All run, status is "systemctl status bluetooth... Active: active (running)", all good.... but not fix the problem.
