asyou can see.btusb driver is loading OK for the bluetooth dongle. That does not mean how ever this
unit is linux friendly.

What I have plugged in my usb port

Mini USB 2.0 Bluetooth 4.0 CSR4.0 +EDR Dongle Adapter for PC WIN 8 7 XP VISTA A+


I also have one of these
which I tried first. But got the same errors as the above. So I figured I would try bluetooth 4.0 instead. Hoping a newer unit might rectify the problem. But I guess not. This is not Linux-Lite specific because Mint 17 Mate gives the same errors with the cheaper bluetooth dongle. I have not tried the Bluetooth 4.0 adapter yet in Mint 17. But I expect the same results. Since both are based on Ubuntu 14.04.
