memo:
try rfkill list to check adapter status and rfkill unblock bluetooth or rfkill unblock all for troubleshooting
if adpter gets blocked at shutdown/sleep/acpi event, it may also be worth executing:
gksudo gedit /etc/rc.local and add rfkill unblock bluetooth which unblocks adapter at the end of each multiuser runlevel
