does anyone know how to get bluetooth working? I've read much about this specific bug, someone says that it has been fixed in 16.04, but I am still affected (Dell XPS 15 9550, Ubuntu 16.04 fresh install)

~$ uname -r
4.4.0-22-generic

~$ sudo service bluetooth status -l

I tried almost everything I found on Google but it still does not detect any device (mouse, keyboard, phone, nothing).

Thank you.
