After reading several other posts, I found this solution.


Install gksu if not already installed.

sudo apt-get install gksu -y

Then edit /etc/rc.local and enter this line just before the "exit=0" entry.

gksudo gedit /etc/rc.local

In gedit before the last entry, which is "exit=0", enter:

rfkill unblock bluetooth

Then reboot and you should be able to turn on bluetooth, if not already enabled after reboot.
