My inbuilt Bluetooth module is not recognized

[Anjana Soman]

Mine is an HP Pavilion laptop (hp 15-r032tx) and has multi-booted Ubuntu 15.10 alongside pre-existing Windows 8.1. The bluetooth functionality works perfectly well in my Windows 8.1 but NOT in Ubuntu. The Bluetooth application in Ubuntu states that there are "No Bluetooth adapters found" And the options to enable Bluetooth or make my device visible are both greyed out (inaccessible). Help me out here please, fellas?

Did this issue start happening after an update/upgrade? Was there a prior kernel version where you were not having this particular problem?

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v4.5 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".

Thanks in advance.
