[solved] Bluetooth stopped working after system (kernel) update

This morning my Bluetooth keyboard was working fine, as it has been working for months. I did a system update, which also updated the kernel, and after reboot, it stopped working.

You can see here the pacman log:

Going into Gnome settings, and selecting Bluetooth, it says "Bluetooth Turned Off". Even though I just did a systemctl enable bluetooth.service and systemctl start bluetooth.service:

[root@housepc log]# systemctl status bluetooth

It seems to be OK, but the bluetooth sign doesnt appear in the top bar, and I cannot pair/connect my keyboard.

Solved: I dont know what the problem was, but it works now, after a few reboots.
