Bluetooth not detecting any devices
When Trying to connect to any device through the Device Search it always ends up empty, even when I have my phone, tablet and Bose SoundLink Mini bluetooth turned on at the same time.
I've tried to find my laptop through my phone, and my phone doesn't even find my laptop. (Visibility is on)
I found this: Ubuntu doesn't detect my Bluetooth receiver, how to fix it?
So here are my outputs of everything:
jeggy@jeggy-Lenovo-Z50-70:~$ bluetoothd -d -n

Solution 1:
You can install a bluetooth driver this way
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hanipouspilot/rtlwifi
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install rtl8723au-bt-dkms rtlwifi-new-dkms linux-firmware
and reboot.
But if you previously installed Realtek wireless drivers from another source, you need to uninstall them first.
