Bluetooth on a Lenovo G500 stopped listing available connection results
Solution 1:
Ohhh after a few hours of googling, I have found the best solution for this kind of problem - one of the outputs of the command dmesg | grep -i bluetooth
was:
[22.562560] Bluetooth: hci0: BCM: Patch brcm/BCM43142A0-105b-e065.hcd not found
the file just doesn't exist in the directory: /lib/firmware/brcm
Download the missing file from here.
Restart your machine.
and the Bluetooth should be up and running!
