Bluetooth not working in Ubuntu 16.04 soft blocked












0














I am using Ubuntu 16.04 by clean installing from USB. I was earlier using Windows 7. My laptop is Toshiba Satellite Pro M200. The bluetooth which was working with Windows 7 has stopped working after installing Ubuntu 16.04. When I check rfkill list I get the following output:



venkat@venkat:~$ rfkill list
0: Toshiba Bluetooth: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
2: hci0: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no
venkat@venkat:~$


I tried rfkill unblock bluetooth, but it is still blocked.



I am giving the output of bluetooth status and lshw for network.
