All, my new Asus BT400 bluetooth adapter arrived. I suppose I should have checked HCL for this, but I thought I would give it a bash. I am unable to see the BlueTooth Adapter in BlueTooth Manager. Any advice on how I might get Bluetooth working (Ubuntu 13.10) ?

  • This works, but I have to do it after every boot. I added it to rc.local and it works fine to enable the bluetooth adapter on startup and connect to a bluetooth mouse. – user279601 May 09 '14 at 14:47

    No more need to add the vid:pid manually. Since kernel version 3.11.0-15 with the kernel module “btusb” the stick is recognized and activated automatically when plugged in. No need to even touch the terminal. Tested on vanilla debian with non-free repos. – drzymala Oct 03 '17 at 22:29
