bluetooth does not work

[kbuntu1]

I have a new install of Xubuntu 15.04 on a new IdeaPad Z50/70. Bluetooth is not working: the service won't start. I can manually start the service on the command line, but the bluetooth manager does not see the device.

When I start the service, it shows:


bluetooth.service - Bluetooth service

Note that dmesg and lspci show nothing about a bluetooth device.

lsusb shows a device with no description:


Bus 001 Device 004: ID 105b:e065

Web searching suggests this is my bluetooth device, but I'm unsure how to get this recognized/

I found a solution for Debian Jesse http://www.gnebehay.com/blog/lenovo-flexpad-bluetooth-debian/ that seems to work.
