Bluetooth service sometimes stops right after starting on reboot

Hi!

Apologies if this is the wrong section (I was not sure which is the right one).

After a while, bluetooth.service sometimes, but not always, stops after starting.

The system log is not useful. It just states it's Terminating and then stops. Here, after a fresh reboot, the issue happens, and at 00:25:48 I'm starting the service manually (remotely, I don't have a non-bluetooth KB handy):

It seems bluetooth will always work if I restart it manually, and it will never stop later on during system use. I suppose I could put a start in root crontab for an ugly workaround.

Any ideas how to troubleshoot this further?

Thanks!

Re: Bluetooth service sometimes stops right after starting on reboot

TLP or so installed? They can be configured to disable BT (on BAT/AC) and that might be an effect of that. systemd-rfkill "restoring" an off state?
