Bluetooth turns itself off continuously.

[JaSauders]

Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit daily build, fully updated to today (April 4, 2014).

I noticed on my Lenovo E430 when I try to enable bluetooth, it continuously disables itself. I installed "Bluetooth Manager" from the Software Center and it activated and stayed lit like it should have. Once I removed Bluetooth Manager, disabled Bluetooth, and tried to enable again, it failed despite having the default "Bluetooth" application installed.

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

I'm surprised that this bug still isn't getting fixed. I'm having the same problem in 18.04. Doesn't anyone use Bluetooth?
