Here is the output of sudo hcitool dev : Devices : . In windows 8, the bluetooth works flowlessly. If I login Windows 8, keep the bluetooth on before restarting to Ubuntu, the bluetooth is still disabled. In the BIOS/UEFI settings, the bluetooth is enabled. Furthermore, the wifi and bluetooth share the same set of keys : Fn + F2. In Windows 8, If i turn on the bluetooth a small dot in the F2 key is lit. In ubuntu pressing, Fn + F2 enables/disables wifi and the bluetooth indicator menu swaps between on/off but the bluetooth is still really off. Side Note : This is a new machine (2013) and I couldn't try the settings for Ubuntu 13.04 and 13.10. Installation of Ubuntu 13.04 and 13.10 resulted to corrupted display.
