Bluetooth does not work in any release of Ubuntu I've tried, as late as 15.04

3.19.0-23-generic #24-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jul 7 18:52:55 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

The adapter is BCM43142A0 and lsusb shows

Bus 003 Device 003: ID 0930:0225 Toshiba Corp.

In DMESG

  • Please file a bug report following instructions [here](https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs) as your device isn't supported in any kernel – Jeremy31 Jul 26 '15 at 22:54
  • possible duplicate of [Bluetooth Broadcom 43142 isn't working on ubuntu 15.04](http://askubuntu.com/questions/632336/bluetooth-broadcom-43142-isnt-working-on-ubuntu-15-04) – Pilot6 Jul 26 '15 at 22:54
  • @Jeremy31 It seems to be supported, firmware issue. By `bDeviceClass`. – Pilot6 Jul 26 '15 at 22:55
  • @Pilot6 I didn't see any entry in btusb for patchram loading for this vendor ID – Jeremy31 Jul 27 '15 at 11:35
  • @Jeremy31 You are correct. I made this patch some months ago, but OP disappeared without testing, and I did not send it. I can fix it any time. But testing and `usb-devices` output are needed. – Pilot6 Jul 27 '15 at 11:45
  • @Pilot6 I have identical output of all commands above and would be happy to test. I'm pretty new to linux though so detailed instructions would be needed. Running 15.10, installed today, toshiba satellite L75-B7270. `uname -r: 4.2.0-16-generic` – Josiah Dec 04 '15 at 00:37
  • @Josiah So please report a bug and give me a link. – Pilot6 Dec 04 '15 at 12:21
  • @Pilot6 - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1522949. My first bug report, let me know if you need anything further. – Josiah Dec 04 '15 at 19:57

I made a test DKMS module. It can be installed by running in terminal:

wget https://launchpad.net/~hanipouspilot/+archive/ubuntu/bluetooth/+files/btusb-lp1522949-dkms_0.2_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i btusb-lp1522949-dkms_0.2_all.deb

You will also need to install firmware. Use this manual for it.
