I got a new XPS 13 a couple of days ago. Everything works great with Ubuntu *except* for bluetooth. After a suspend, the bluetooth is lost and doesn't come back. I tried to remove and install the bluetooth driver with `modprobe -r btusb; modprobe btusb` and to restart the bluetooth service but neither things worked. I also reinstalled from factory defaults (just in case) and the problem persists.
The best course of action is for you to use the link below to submit your issues. By doing so, support can address your issue and track it in the system.
The following dynamic link takes you to our contact list and it should adjust based on support available in your region. If it does not, you can select your region in the bottom right corner to update it.
I am also on 18.04 - I have another issue (touchpad hardware problem) and am waiting on a new unit so I rolled forward to 18.04 to have a look at the new Gnome. But it worked fine post-that upgrade. The only change I can see is I updated the BIOS last night when prompted.
Problem re-appears periodically and requires a reboot to fix. Does anyone have a workaround for resetting Bluetooth WITHOUT a reboot? I have tried a bunch of things but it's like the device disappears. :(
I have the same problem with my new 9370 device. It also happens during work without suspend. I need to reboot the machine an disable/enable bluetooth in BIOS. Please fix this asap or give us a good workaround.
