Rob van den Berg, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. As per http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/product-support/product/inspiron-3847-desktop/drivers an update to your BIOS is available (A05). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate does it change anything? If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't have to create a new bug report. For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Once the BIOS is updated, then please mark this report Status Confirmed. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-a05 ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete ** Summary changed: - Bluetooth not working - "Bluetooth: Error in firmware loading" + [Dell Inspiron Desktop 3847] Bluetooth not working - "Bluetooth: Error in firmware loading" -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1380315 Title: [Dell Inspiron Desktop 3847] Bluetooth not working - "Bluetooth: Error in firmware loading" Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Most of the time bluetooth doesn't work.
