I am running Kali from a bootable flash drive and running into a couple of problems.

First is the default Bluetooth card in the Dell M4800 does not appear to be working properly.
Three or four Bluetooth devices appear in the list of devices that I can attempt to connect
but on a co-located Nexus 6P I can see dozens of devices listed available for connection.

I checked the status of Bluetooth and see the following errors. Unfortunately my Google
search provides lots of leads of which none seem to match my pickle. The return from
service bluetooth status:

root@kali:~/Pictures# service bluetooth status

Any leads on where to go from here would be appreciated.
