Hi,

I am running an Ubuntu 16.04 machine. I tried to start the system bluetooth through the following steps:

1. Ensured that bluetooth was unblocked through the command rfkill
2. Set bluetooth to powered on, agent on, default-agent and scan on through bluetootctl

On completing these steps, Bluetooth icon shows up as active on the system, but other devices are unable to scan it and consequently not able to connect to it. This Ubuntu does not appear in the list of bluetooth devices for other devices' scan.

3. I ran systemctl status bluetooth

I am getting the following errors:

nvidia@tegra-ubuntu:~$ systemctl status bluetooth
