Now on Ubuntu 16.10, same desktop hardware, nothing changed... Same problem. I forgot that cutting the power completely is the only way, I was struggling for couple of hours, again.

I deactivated the bluetooth via the indicator, and then, impossible to start it. Neither from the settings bluetooth interface, neither via hciconfig. The service was of course started without problems. The device was well recognized and started, could find which usb port and everything. However hciconfig could not see it: $ hciconfig -a hci0 hci0: Type: BR/EDR Bus: USB BD Address: 00:00:00:00:00:00 ACL MTU: 0:0 SCO MTU: 0:0 DOWN RX bytes:0 acl:0 sco:0 events:0 errors:0 TX bytes:12 acl:0 sco:0 commands:4 errors:0 Of course I restarted the system, tried purging all bluetooth related packages, tried installing blueman. Nothing would make it start. Finally I found this thread of arch linux : https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=171357 So basically I shut down the computer, waited a while, started the computer and the bluetooth is functional again. I will try reproducing the bug. I tried, but it did not happen again. Maybe it's because I was listening music, lost signal, came back to the pc and closed bluetooth. Any thoughts of what is this caused by?
