Hello,
I have a mini Bluetooth USB key Belkin F8T065, and I am using Ubuntu 13.10. The problem is that my Bluetooth USB key is not recognized by the system.

I have already followed the troubleshooting instructions:
- HERE: http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/bluetooth
- THERE: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsBluetoothUsbAdapters

If anyone could tell me how the key could be recognized, it would be really nice. Thanks in advance!

    I eventually found the solution thanks to this site!
    It works for the f8t065bf Belkin (for others, please refer to the end of my message).

    The method:

    Open your terminal and type: 
    sudo apt-get install bluetooth bluez-utils blueman
    sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart
    sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth start
    sudo modprobe btusb
    sudo -s
    <Your root password>
    sudo echo "050d 065a" >> /sys/bus/usb/drivers/btusb/new_id

    For others, replace "050d 065a" with "<VendorID> <ProductID>" that you will find in 
    lsusb
    .

    There you go! One problem solved!

      Well, after 2 years of maturity and more knowledge, I'm going to explain how to do it right from the start.

      The method

      Make sure you have the packages bluetooth, bluez-utils, and blueman: 
      sudo apt-get install bluetooth bluez-utils blueman

      To ensure that the bluetooth service starts at every boot: 
      sudo systemctl enable bluetooth

      Then add these lines to /etc/rc.local or /etc/rc.d/rc.local so that these commands run at boot: 
      modprobe btusb
      echo "050d 065a" >> /sys/bus/usb/drivers/btusb/new_id

      Reboot, and that's it ;)
