Recently got a new laptop and successfully installed Ubuntu on it. However, unlike my other debian laptops, this one seems unable to discover my bluetooth headset.
I tried using bluetoothctl:
power on
agent on
default-agent
scan on
no error messages, but no results came out.
Then I tried hcitool:
hcitool scan
but still came blank.
Blueman also wasn't of much help.
The bluetooth interfaces weren't blocked either, according to rfkill
I noticed that this appeared in my dmesg:
bluetooth hci0: Direct firmware load for brcm/BCM.hcd failed with error -2
Finally, the output of sudo service bluetooth status is
● bluetooth.service - Bluetooth service
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/bluetooth.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)

Any suggestions on what to try now?
