[Solved] Bluetooth suddenly not working

Hello,

My bluetooth was workking fine just minutes ago. However, I did a ssh -Y to a remote host and ran gnome-session. That messed up my keyboard layout, so I just rebooted and it was back to normal. However, bluetooth doesn't work since then. I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling bluez, compiling and installing bluez from source, nothing does it. The following commands show:

the main problem is the output of:
$ hciconfig
(no output)

$hcitool dev
Devices: (blank)

$ lsmod | grep bluetooth
bluetooth 46567  5 sco,bnep,l2cap
rfkill             12854  4 bluetooth,cfg80211,dell_laptop

a relevant line from errors.log is:
localhost bluetoothd[7163]: Unable to get on D-Bus.

everything.log shows a *lot* of such lines:
localhost load-modules.sh: 'pci:v00008086d00002C98sv00008086sd00008086bc06sc00i00' is not a valid module or alias name
localhost load-modules.sh: 'acpi:device:' is not a valid module or alias name

Any idea what may be causing the problem ?

I also have a usb problem: my usb/esata port doesn't works for the first 2 minutes post-boot.

relevant lines from errors.log are:
localhost kernel: hub 1-1:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 1
localhost kernel: usb 1-1.1: device descriptor read/64, error -110

Fixing these two errors would really make my day. I believe they are unrelated, I noticed the usb problem a while ago...
Thanks a lot!

Quentin

Re: [Solved] Bluetooth suddenly not working

did you do a recent kernel update?  I did and my bluetooth also isn't working now.

Re: [Solved] Bluetooth suddenly not working

my latest kernel update was three days ago, but as I said, bluetooth was working just fine a hour ago.

By the way, hciconfig gives a blank output, and 'hcitool dev' doesn't show any devices.

Re: [Solved] Bluetooth suddenly not working

Solved: disabling and enabling bluetooth in the BIOS solved both of these problems!
