I have a "media stuff" computer connected to a TV that I use to play films, music and for gaming.
Lately I wanted to use either or both my Wii and PS3 joysticks via the bluetooth provided by the motherboard. At first my PC seemed to be able to detect the PS3 joysticks but not pair them. I was even able to pair a PS3 joystick and see the various actions I triggered, but the device would become unpaired when I closed the program.
I tried various ideas from how-tos here and there. The system finally ended up with the Bluetooth not able to work properly...
Now when I start a new session the Bluetooth icon near the hour is not showing. I can start the Bluetooth app but no devices are detected. I may have messed with drivers while following a modprobe
instruction in the howtos.
sudo lspci | grep -i blue
is not showing anything. Neither is lsusb
The motherboard is a GIGABYTE GA-Z87N-WIFI and bluetooth once worked.
I use Ubuntu 16.04.
How can I solve this?
A bit of output here:
