bluetooth keeps turning off

[Teo]

Bluetooth turned off (without me turning it off), as it already happened a lot of times.

Now i can't turn it on.
I run Bluetooth from the Dash, I turn on Bluetooth with the On/Off button. Then it goes back to off.
It will probably work after reboot.

Just one more bluetooth bug making bluetooth completely unusable under Ubuntu.

Actually, even after reboot, bluetooth still kept turning itself off.

I got it to work again only by turning it "physically" off and on via hardware.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I am having the same problem with 14.04. Also made mention on this in #1283003

Please let me know what (and how) information you would need to debug this.

Having the same problem, but found a temporary solution:

If you're using Unity, control the BT switch via the BT tray icon. That should work.
