Can't make BT work

hi everyone. I've been searching for every possible thread I could about how to make my bluetooth adapter work. But unfortunately with no results.
the closest situation i've found is in this post and they say it was marked as a bug, but not sure if it was or not solved.
anyway, here is my data

$ uname -r

if someone knows anything about it or the way to fix this bug it would be great

Re: Can't make BT work

Well, that doesn't look like it is going to bear fruit

What is the output of lsusb  ?
