[Solved] Unable to start bluetooth.service

I am trying to get bluetooth running on my laptop. I have followed the instructions in the wiki, installing bluez and bluez-utils, however I cannot start bluetooth.service:

$ systemctl start bluetooth
==== AUTHENTICATING FOR org.freedesktop.systemd1.manage-units ===
Authentication is required to start 'bluetooth.service'.
Authenticating as: root
Password:
==== AUTHENTICATION COMPLETE ===
Failed to start bluetooth.service: Unit bluetooth.service not found.

$ sudo systemctl start bluetooth
Failed to start bluetooth.service: Unit bluetooth.service not found.

Do I need to add my user to a particular group?

A reboot seems to have fixed the issue.

Re: [Solved] Unable to start bluetooth.service

Just an addendum to your SOLVED post...

On my machine, it has been necessary to enable bluetooth in systemd (on systemd systems)---sudo systemctl enable bluetooth--before it can be started. Glad you got it sorted.
