2016-07-17 02:23:30 Thomas Mayer description DELL Latitude E5510 has a hardware switch to disable and enable bluetooth and wifi devices ("hard blocking" in terms of rfkill. In terms of wifi, this works great: After hard unblocking the device resumes to normal operation with no manual intervention. That was also working with bluetooth as of 14.04, kernel 4.2. In ubuntu 16.04, kernel 4.4.0-31-generic, together with systemd, this is not working any more: After hard blocking and unblocking - bluetooth is not working at all - the applet-indicator remains gray - bluetooth cannot be enabled with the applet-indicator (see https://storage6.static.itmages.com/i/16/0717/h_1468721829_7715160_83cd33bfba.png). Applet-indicator remains gray - rfkill list tells me that the kernel knows about the hard unblocking (turns from "yes" to "no"): rfkill list bluetooth 2: dell-bluetooth: Bluetooth Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 8: hci0: Bluetooth Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no The device is a sudo lsusb Bus 002 Device 010: ID 413c:8187 Dell Computer Corp. DW375 Bluetooth Module Workaround: After a sudo service bluetooth restart the bluetooth device turns back to normal operation and the applet-indicator turns from gray to black (available). Suggested fix: Make the workaround obsolete.
