I'm unable to enable bluetooth. I'm on Ubuntu 14.04 and when I go to Settings → Bluetooth, this shows up:

I can't click the switch to turn Bluetooth on and off.

Output of dmesg | grep Bluetooth:

Install the Bluetooth drivers:

bluez-compat bluez-cups bluez-dbg bluez-gstreamer bluez-hcidump \
bluez-pcmcia-support bluez-tools bluez-utils python-bluez \
bluewhoindicator-bluetooth libbluetooth-dev  libgnome-bluetooth11 libbluetooth3

Edit the rc.local file -

sudo nano /etc/rc.local

Add the following line -

rfkill unblock bluetooth

Reboot the system and check again.
