HOW TO: Make bluetooth work on a GPD Pocket running ubuntu

Pontifications

Disclaimer: This works for as of Tuesday September 5, 2017 Ubuntu 16 LTS latest on a GPD pocket. This may not work for other or future versions. NO SUPPORT. NO WARRANTY. LEARN LINUX :-) IF YOU DARE. AND IF YOU LIKE YAK SHAVING :-) Otherwise stick to OS X or Windows LOL

1. in udev rules, create a file called 99-local-bluetooth.rules using your favorite text editor e.g. vi:

cd /etc/udev/rules.d
sudo vi 99-local-bluetooth.rules 

where 99-local-bluetooth.rules is a one line file with the following contents:

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0000", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0000", RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'modprobe btusb; echo 0000 0000 > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/btusb/new_id'"

2. Then reboot.
3. The bluetooth adapter will magically appear after reboot in Bluetooth settings
