inxi: 3.0.27I can't get Bluetooth to work in Mint 19.1, but - if works fine if I boot from a USB stick running Mint 18.3 or Mint 17.3, and it also works fine in dual-booted Win 7. So the problems doesn't seem to be related to hardware, but this specific installation of Mint 19.1
The Bluetooth device manager doesn't discover Bluetooth devices nor can a name be assigned in the settings. So how can Mint 19.1 be tweaked to get Bluetooth working?
