Bluetooth works but hcitool doesn't

I am running Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS on an asus pn41 with intel celeron n5100. Bluetooth works fine in fact I am using a Bluetooth mouse now but hcitool does not work.

When I run the command sudo hcitool lescan the response is:

Set scan parameters failed: Input/output error

When I run the command sudo hcitool scan response is:

scanning...

But it does not find anything.


Please help me, here is some useful information from my pc: command dmesg | grep Blue:
