Take a look at the hci commands (hciattach  hciconfig  hciemu
hcitool    hcitrace) which chould give you more info. I am no expert
in them, but try

hciconfig -a

to get a view of the bluetooth dongle.

I am sure google will give you some clues on how to troubleshoot.

I unplugged my dongle last night and plyugged it into a different usb
slot and it started working again.
