I have recently received the Hp Stream 11 and thought that windows 8 was an overkill for a device of it's specs. I backed up windows and boot Xubuntu 14.04 from a live CD with memory persistence and everything appeared to work out of the box except the wifi, bluetooth, and the mounting of the local windows installation.
I then got a usb to ethernet adapter and was able to get the necessary wireless driver as proprietary hardware via software & updates application. After which I proceed to update and upgrade my system via the terminal which fixed the mounting of local drives issue (though I am not sure if the fix was permanent as after a restart they where faded out temporarily and unable to mount). So far I cannot seem to find a fix for the bluetooth though.
Blueman indicates that the bluetooth is on, and I have made both the android phone and the stream 11 discoverable, but to no avail. The stream nor the phone seem to detect each other. When i test to see if bluetooth works in Windows 8, the detection and pairing is almost instantaneous.
I have been searching the net for a while now with no apparent solution to this issue. Have any of the Ubuntu gurus found a work around for this yet?
Here is the machine for those not familiar: http://store.hp.com/us/en/pdp/Laptops/hp-stream-notebook---11-d010nr-energy-star?jumpid=ba_r329_hhocse&aoid=44661&003=6663635&010=K2L95UA%23ABA&ci_sku=K2L95UA%23ABA&ci_gpa=pla&ci_kw=#!&TabName=specs
I should probably also state that I have tried gnome bluetooth manager as well. Same issue so I'm assuming this is a driver problem.
Thanks in advance to all those who respond.
