My hardware has support for Bluetooth, but every time I need to use Bluetooth I have no option but to boot to Windows. I have tried many options, but most of them have failed to provide any solution. The basic problem is that I cannot turn the adapter on at all. This is what I get on the System Settings window: http://i59.tinypic.com/oigmt5.png

As you can see, the Bluetooth and Visibility switches are frozen. I haven't yet found a way to remedy this. Ideas?

I had the same problem. But I follow the answer of Ralink RT 3290 Bluetooth Problem on Ubuntu 14.04 question, and luckly it solved the problem I had. I already modified the files that needed to be modified. You can download the file form http://www.filedropper.com/rtbth-393. All you have to do is go to the directory from terminal and run 

make
sudo make install

And then reboot your computer. I attached a screen shot. It worked for me, hope it work for you too. Good luck.

Have you tried reinstall bluetooth, and enter this in the terminal:

 sudo apt-get install blueman
 sudo apt-get update
 sudo apt-get upgrade

and it might work fine this way.

  • I am afraid I have tried that before, but to no avail.
