  • FWIW, https://askubuntu.com/questions/791785/qualcomm-atheros-bluetooth-4-0-not-working-on-ubuntu-16-04 seemed to work. But I would love to know why this suddenly was a problem and how to unpack it. Was it related to a recent upgrade, or starting to use virtualbox? – fratrik Jul 06 '18 at 21:14

  • Why would you need to install rfkill as it is installed by default at least in non-server versions of Ubuntu? – Jeremy31 Mar 06 '18 at 22:54

It appears that bluetooth has been soft-killed by some application. Try lifting the block by

rfkill unblock tpacpi_bluetooth_sw

and start the bluetooth service by

systemctl start bluetooth.service
