Thanks. It appears you have a Qualcomm/Atheros Bluetooth adapter connected internally via USB.

The kernel has apparently found the adapter and loaded firmware for it. However the kernel also has it set to disabled:

0: phy0: Wireless LAN
 Soft blocked: no
 Hard blocked: no
3: hci0: Bluetooth
 Soft blocked: yes <-------------
 Hard blocked: no

In a terminal please try running: rfkill unblock 3
Does that fix the problem?
