I installed Ubuntu 18.04 in my Alienware 17, everything is running fine except the Bluetooth. It's active but I can't connect with my headphones, telephone and mouse.

sudo dmesg | grep -i bluetooth

Try executing the following command in the terminal.

This will download the Broadcom Bluetooth firmware for Linux kernel to /lib/firmware/brcm.

sudo wget --tries=3 --timeout=120 https://github.com/winterheart/broadcom-bt-firmware/raw/master/brcm/BCM20702A1-13d3-3411.hcd -P /lib/firmware/brcm

After installing the firmware, simply reboot to load the driver.
