After I switch on Bluetooth on Ubuntu 18.04, it's not able to search any devices.
I ran rfkill list
, and all was unblocked.
rfkill list all
0: dell-rbtn: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
2: brcmwl-0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
3: hci0: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
Actually on seeing the status of Bluetooth, I got an rfkill error
$ /etc/init.d/bluetooth status

Kindly help on this. I even tried updating the firmware, but that didn't solve the problem.
