Bluetooth: no adapters found

  • 772

I'm using a Bluetooth keyboard and all was working fine, until today. It stopped working. My Bluetooth applet says 'No adapters found'. I've got a Asus UX303LA.

When using sudo service bluetooth status, this is the output:

● bluetooth.service - Bluetooth service
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/bluetooth.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
   Active: active (running) since wo 2015-08-12 10:55:09 CEST; 13min ago
 Main PID: 2792 (bluetoothd)
   CGroup: /system.slice/bluetooth.service
           └─2792 /usr/sbin/bluetoothd -n

hcitool dev gives no devices.

How can I figure out what's going wrong?

  1. I was having the same problem wiht same errors after upgrade on a ThinkPad X220. I've solved the problem installing bluez-utils:

    sudo apt install bluez-utils

  2. I got rid of "no adapters found" by simply restarting bluetooth: sudo service bluetooth restart.
