check lsmod or dmesg (btusb, bluetooth kernel module launched?)
lsusb not guarantee that the device works!

bluetooth.sh - script for autolaunch with xorg starts, run only puppybt for testing.
Check update puppybt from github, i not upload latest module because I need to solve the problem with simple pair device.
Same software still loaded from yesterday
------------------------------------------------------------
dmesg shows no bluetooth
lsmod -shows no bluetooth driver (btusb module not loaded)
modprobe btusb - loads module ok
lsmod -now shows btusb module loaded
rfkill list bluetooth - not listed

dmesg now shows
Bluetooth: HCI device and connector manager initialized
Bluetooth: HCI socket layer initialized
Bluetooth: L2CAP socket layer initialized
Bluetooth: SCO socket layer initialized
usbcore: registered new interface driver btusb

Tried to run puppybt
Still get the error
"Error
Local bluetooth device not found"

I see no updated puppybt from github?

lsusb shows no Dell Wireless bluetooth device
My thought is this device needs to get initialized

Will post back after more checks
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
After more checks
Final report- I am not going to try to initialize my bluetooth with bluez 5.xx
I believe this is a hardware problem between bluez 5.xx and my bluetooth adapter.

Thanks for your help. If I get another bluetooth adapter I will be back!

NO, this is not bluez5 problem, you kernel not recognize and not load needed kernel modules. hci0 not created. Without this in dmesg, bluetoothd non work:

Code: Select all

Bluetooth: BNEP (Ethernet Emulation) ver 1.3
Bluetooth: BNEP filters: protocol multicast
Bluetooth: BNEP socket layer initialized
Bluetooth: RFCOMM TTY layer initialized
Bluetooth: RFCOMM socket layer initialized
Bluetooth: RFCOMM ver 1.11
If hci0 not created - bluez5 (and bluez4 also) not work. Try launch bluetoothd from therminal, may be one lib not found...

my lsmod list loaded: btusb, btintel, btbcm, bluetooth, btrtl, bnep

kernel version 4.14.90
