Re: Integrated Bluetooth not found by Ubuntu 14.04
A virtual machine consists of simulated hardware, and the simulation doesn't currently include any bluetooth devices.
If your host bluetooth is connected to the USB bus then you can probably grab ownership of it by creating an appropriate (non-black) USB filter. See the user manual for details. And be aware that, of course, if the VM grabs ownership then the host PC will be unable to access the device.
