A couple of days ago I bought an Acer Aspire V3-571G laptop without a system installed on it. The only thing that was there was Linux Linpus. I created a bootable CD with Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit - I read that my processor was 64 bit and that it might be a good configuration for my gear (I'm not especially fluent with all the computer stuff, still trying to learn) and replaced Linpus with Ubuntu.

My bluetooth doesn't work. It seems to be switched on, but when I check my system settings the button is actually off, and I can't drag it 'perminently' to the 'on' position. Tried a couple of commands I found on the net, none of them helped and there was no word whatsoever in my BIOS settings about enabling bluetooth.

My card reader has some serious problems with copying more than one file at a time. I tried to put some music on my phone through a MicroSD card adapter (because my bluetooth doesn't work) and it got stuck every single time I copied an album on it.

For the Bluetooth, i think the problem is that you have it Hard blocked on your machine. Hitting Fn + F3 should toggle between all the variation of WiFi on/off, BT on/off. use the commandrfkill listto see current state (you may need to wait a few seconds for the change)But for me this doesn't fix BT performance - it fails to list the available devices. I tried with a BT mouse and a phone ... there are some guides you can find on the net for this - none worked reliably for me.
