Do you dual boot the system?

It also IS detected, it's right there in your output:

No my system run only on Ubuntu. Yes, I know it is already detected by
lsusb but on the task bar on the Unity desktop, bluetooth icon is nowhere
to be seen and the bluetooth app is System Settings says 'No bluetooth
adapter detected.'
