Bug Description

Bluetooth on my Lenovo Z50-70 is not working. I have installed the suggested bcmwl drivers from the "Additional Drivers" application. I installed my system a long time back, but didn't realise the bluetooth just wasn't working. The wifi works fine, and there were no issues during my upgrade from 14.10 to 15.04. Here are the details of my system:

lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 15.04
Release: 15.04

suspected package:
bcmwl-kernel-source 6.30.223.248+bdcom-0ubuntu2

or

linux-image-generic 3.19.0.31.30

I'm really sorry for this long, long delay. I have upgraded to Ubuntu 15.10 in the meanwhile, and the bug still persists. What should I do? Will the output of the above commands still be useful?

Anyway, posting first. Talking later. You've waited enough already!

Thank you!
