I never had any problem using apple aluminium bluetooth keyboard I recently upgraded to 16.04, everything was fine for about a month, then bluetooth failed to load on start, via search engine eventually discovered workaround, boot into OS X 64bit, no need to login or anything just pick option and reboot. then bluetooth just works again. not clear what stops it working, I had updated today, and was using keyboard/mouse when I discovered bluetooth logo missing from top bar.... #1001825 may be related? currently 12.04 specific Mac mini 6.2 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3615QM CPU @ 2.30GHz had been running UbuntuLTS 14.04 and using Apple Aluminium Keyboard however after upgrade to 16.04, bluetooth is not coonecting, icon is not in top bar. ~$ dmesg | grep -i bluetooth [ 2.797266] usb 2-1.8.1.3: Product: Broadcom Bluetooth Download Device [167220.284394] Bluetooth: Core ver 2.21 [167220.284439] Bluetooth: HCI device and connection manager initialized [167220.284444] Bluetooth: HCI socket layer initialized [167220.284448] Bluetooth: L2CAP socket layer initialized [167220.284457] Bluetooth: SCO socket layer initialized ~$ rfkill list 0: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 1: brcmwl-0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no ~$ hcitool dev Devices: ~$ uname -a Linux jay-Macmini6 4.4.0-34-generic #53-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jul 27 16:06:39 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 Package: bluez 5.37-0ubuntu5 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-34.53-generic 4.4.15 Uname: Linux 4.4.0-34-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: wl ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.1 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Tue Sep 20 22:16:48 2016 InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-11-26 (664 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release amd64 (20140722.2) InterestingModules: rfcomm bnep btusb bluetooth MachineType: Apple Inc.
