Internal bluetooth adapter is not detected only additional external ones are

[Jeff McQuone]

Binary package hint: bluez

Dell inspiron 1545 internal bluetooth device is not detected or installed by ubuntu (worked when I had windows but does not work now and ubuntu is the only OS).

Tried installing KDE software because some bug reports suggested that it may work but had could not register OBEX service error.

No idea what any of this means but hope it helps.

Am using Lucid Lynix and have kept it updated.
