Bluetooth not working on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

I want to send files from my phone to my Laptop and vice versa through Bluetooth. But the Bluetooth on my system doesn't work. When I turn on the Bluetooth switch in System Settings > Bluetooth, nothing happens and also the visibility switch on the right hand side is always disabled.



Output of rfkill list is as follows:




0: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
1: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
2: hp-bluetooth: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no



Output of dmesg | grep Blue is as follows:



[   29.519992] Bluetooth: Core ver 2.21
[ 29.520012] Bluetooth: HCI device and connection manager initialized
[ 29.520016] Bluetooth: HCI socket layer initialized
[ 29.520019] Bluetooth: L2CAP socket layer initialized
[ 29.520025] Bluetooth: SCO socket layer initialized
[ 54.305795] Bluetooth: BNEP (Ethernet Emulation) ver 1.3
[ 54.305799] Bluetooth: BNEP filters: protocol multicast

[ 54.305804] Bluetooth: BNEP socket layer initialized


I don't know if the drivers were installed or not and I don't know how to check it either.



Any idea what the issue is?






Update:




Output of lspci -knn | grep Net -A2; lsusb is as follows:
