i am totally new in Linux. I'm trying to find out how to get the bluetooth activated. I have searched so far in the web but no solution works. Please tell me what commands I should provide so you understand the problem. Thanks in advance!

these are the results:

fotis@fotis-Lenovo-G510:~$ lspci -knn | grep Net -A2
08:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM43142 802.11b/g/n [14e4:4365] (rev 01)
    Subsystem: Lenovo Device [17aa:0611]
    Kernel driver in use: wl

Bus 001 Device 004: ID 105b:e065

fotis@fotis-Lenovo-G510:~$ uname -a
Linux fotis-Lenovo-G510 3.19.0-33-generic #38~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Nov 6 18:17:28 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

modinfo btusb | grep -i 105b does nothing

I tried this Bluetooth on Lenovo Ideapad S20-30 but sometime it stops (probably needs different file).

Please [edit] your question and add output of lspci -knn | grep Net -A2; lsusb terminal command. – Pilot6 Nov 26 '15 at 13:19
I do not see any bluetooth modules in lsusb. Try to run sudo modprobe -r ideapad_laptop and try again lsusb. – Pilot6 Nov 26 '15 at 13:36
it prints out the same – fotismilo Nov 26 '15 at 13:40
Check bios or reset it to defaults and try lsusb again. BT will not work until it is seen there. It maybe seen not as a bluetooth device, but it should appear somehow. – Pilot6 Nov 26 '15 at 13:43
And are you sure there is BT in this laptop? – Pilot6 Nov 26 '15 at 13:44
it is supposed to have one – fotismilo Nov 26 '15 at 13:44
There is a new line. Is this the bluetooth? – fotismilo Nov 26 '15 at 14:59
Yes, it is the bluetooth. See the link above. There are directions to get it work. – Pilot6 Nov 26 '15 at 15:00
It should work. I made firmware for exactly that chip. – Pilot6 Nov 26 '15 at 15:07
I am not sure that this bluetooth is supported in the kernel, please edit question to include uname -a; modinfo btusb | grep -i 105b Thanks – Jeremy31 Nov 28 '15 at 12:03
I have already tried the solution of duplicate but still the firmware is not installed. Any other ideas? I suppose that this firmware is not supported in this kernel (3.19.0) – fotismilo Nov 29 '15 at 14:40
