I am running bionic and the gnome-control-center on the bluetooth tab tells me that "no bluetooth found" and that I should plug in a dongle to use bluetooth. My computer has built-in bluetooth.

I am running bionic and the gnome-control- center on the bluetooth tab tells me that "no bluetooth found" and that I should plug in a dongle to use bluetooth. My computer has built-in bluetooth.
I believe I am seeing what's being discussed at http:// gnome-apps. 13852.n7. nabble. com/No- Bluetooth- Found-Plug- in-a-dongle- to-use- Bluetooth- td68467. html especially the message by Bjørn Forsman, dated Dec 31 2016.
