No Bluetooth Hardware on Ubuntu 20.04

in flag

I've HP Laptop, setup on Dual Boot with Windows 10.

Bluetooth works normally on Windows 10 but it doesn't seem to work on ubuntu. I read 100's of threads with no luck, finally posting a question here.

Terminal Output of some commands I tried:

Not sure if related but disabling Fast Startup in Windows when dual-booting is a MUST. Try that to start with something. And please edit the question to post `lspci` results identifying your actual hardware.

I believe that most bluetooth hardware will be found in: `lsusb`

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.
