Hi John,
I can't see anything wrong in your dmesg output.
Does the system tray on your desktop have a "blueman-applet" ?
If it doesn't try:
$ blueman-applet
Then from the applets drop down menu try some of the options...
Bluetooth on/off
Make discoverable
Setup new device...
Devices...
Adapters...
etc.
cheers,
Ian.
