How to enable bluetooth?

I swear it was already working for me earlier, then again it was gone. I think it was even the first time I was able to use bluetooth with Trisquel, Free Sofware even. AFAIK, after I did a dist-upgrade while my bluetooth was working, after a reboot bluetooth functionality was again gone. -_- How do I go about this?
It may have been a regression, or you just disabled it.
This copied from Ubuntu wiki (which shares the same code base as trisquel):
To manually configure bluetooth, you will need:
sudo apt-get install bluez python-gobject python-dbus
python-gobject and python-dbus are needed for the python scripts bluez-simple-agent and bluez-test-device to work.
Discover the hciX location of the dongle with:
hcitool dev
Devices:
hci0 00:11:95:00:1A:CF
(i) Your Bluetooth device will have a different id.
sudo bluez-simple-agent hci0 XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX is the MAC or BT ADD or BlueTooth Address of the bt device. Press the reset or pair button on your keyboard, simple-agent will ask to specify a pin like 1111, then type that pin on the bt keyboard and your bt keyboard is paired.
sudo bluez-test-device trusted XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX yes
To set the device as trusted
sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart
To restart the bluetooth daemon.
Check if the device is added:
dmesg|tail
The last lines will list your device.
Nothing appeared with hcitool dev -_-
Do you dual boot a certain proprietary legacy operating system? That might've loaded the proprietary firmware.
I only have Trisquel on my system.
is this a usb bluetooth device or internel?
I don't use any external bluetooth device if that's what you're asking.
I only have the internal. In my case, bluetooth and wireless functionality are in a card.
Sorry for being vague or not accurate guys.
what is the name off your blue-tooth card?
so i can check if it dose work with libre software
i found 2 pages on the ubuntu forums with pepole that seemed
to have the same have the same device that was not working:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2254759
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2231813
but the only solution seems to be installing non-free software
if this is the case
i recommend on of these usb blue-tooth cards

if this is not the case there may be someone more knowledgeable
than me that can help you
i saw on the forums some people solved the problem by compiling there own kernel?
so if it was working at one time with libre software
maby you just need the correct drivers
I am a translator!
If blue-tooth worked (even for 5 seconds) and he is not double booting with windblowz and did not install any proprietary driver - then his bt can work using free software. The problem is - how to get it to work!
i think your right
Hopefully that is the case.
so just to up this post
if theirs anyone who could help pogiako
please do!

poglako - I never used bt on any computer. So..
But I see when you right click on the trisquel icon on the panel (the one that opens the gnome menu) and then click on Edit Menus and select Accessories there you can check the box Bluetooth Device Setup. After that you will find that entry in the accessories and when you open it, it should start searching for bluetooth devices and also you should be able to thinker with the setting (maybe!?!).
As I said I don't know anything about bt and maybe this post is hot water..
cheers!
