[SOLVED] Blueman-applet won't start

Hey, first post here after a few weeks of lurking, great forum! But now I have a problem of my own and couldn't find a solution here.
I'm trying to get a bluetooth applet to work with i3wm (to connect to a a2dp speaker). I have bluez and blueman-applet installed, but when I try to run it, i get this

I also tried to build gnome-bluetooth-applet-git from AUR, but I get this error:

Any ideas?
I was able to pair and connect it with bluetoothctl, but the sound would not work. It just came out of the laptop speakers.

Damn, I just had to enable bluetooth on systemd! I could swear I already had. Guess I won't delete the topic, just leave it here for anyone else who is a bit lost. For the record, I just had to do

# systemctl enable bluetooth

and restart.
I'll mark as solved, but let me know if it's the right thing to do.

Perfect!

As someone once said, "I am happy to make the errors if someone else is willing to learn from them"
Thanks
