Bluetooth not discovering on ubuntu 21.04 - Intel 9260NGW - M.2 2230

us flag

I have a typical problem. My bluetooth is shown on as you can see in the image and it is in discovery mode. I have my cell phone next to it and it is also in discovery mode as well it is visible to nearby devices.

enter image description here

For some reason, my ubuntu does not recognize other bluetooth devices like my cellphone. Also my cellphone is not able to see ubuntu although it says it is power on and discoverable.

My bluetooth is Intel 9260NGW - (form factor M.2 2230) and it has wifi also. Wifi is working just fine. It is able to see all the networks and able to connect but my bluetooth has problem.

I have also done

sudo rmmod btusb
sudo modprobe btusb

sudo systemctl stop bluetooth.service 
sudo systemctl start bluetooth.service 

but it didn't solve.

Here are the output of some commands for debugging.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
