Re: [SOLVED] bluetooth.service failed to start

hi i hope this is a better way to present my problem

1. bluetooth.service failed to start on boot, and unable to start manually as well

this is when i try to start manually:

leowyy@archlinux:~▶ sudo systemctl start bluetooth.service
[sudo] password for leowyy:
Job for bluetooth.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status bluetooth.service" and "journalctl -xeu bluetooth.service" for details.

and this is the logs:

leowyy@archlinux:~▶ systemctl status bluetooth.service

Re: [SOLVED] bluetooth.service failed to start

Jun 03 15:25:47 archlinux bluetoothd[276706]: D-Bus setup failed: Connection ":1.54" is not allowed to own the service "org.bluez" due to security policies in the configuration file

I think that's the problem, i've found in this thread https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=809214 that some user have solved the issue doing:

systemctl reload dbus
