We used to have a hack to force powering on by using an udev rule but this doe snot work anymore. Luckily the BlueZ has introduced "AutoEnable" option that makes the stack power on adapters by itself. Backporting this to xenial will improve life of the desktop users and will not require them to hack the solution on their own. The fix itself uses the well known solution to this problem that is floating around there for a while. The upload fixes the bug by enabling the 'AutoEnable' option in the bluetoothd config file. [Original Report] . 15.10 we now have bluez 5 so we can pair BLE devices like the Microsoft Arc Touch Bluetooth Mouse. But this pairing doesn't work very well. Mouse is seen but pairing fail. More information: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104011#c5 This is due to udev rule that use "hcitool" to power on device. Hopefully, bluez 5.35 has a new parameter "AutoEnable" who can be used instead of udev rules. here is a commit with this parameter: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~guilhem-fr/bluez/autoenable/revision/138 [Test Case] On xenial install from ppa: https://launchpad.net/~bluetooth/+archive/ubuntu/bluez Now reboot the machine. The BT adapter shall be powered on. [Regression Potential] If things go wrong the adapter will not be powered on after the system boots up. Therefore while testing please focus on the adapter state, i.e. powered on or off.
