At some point in the last week my bluetooth service stopped working. I believe this is because the systemd service isn't running. It doesn't start when I run `sudo systemctl start bluetooth`. Nothing relevant in dmesg. I read /usr/lib/systemd/system/bluetooth.service and it appears to execute /usr/lib/bluetooth/bluetoothd. I tried executing it manually and it prints this:
D-Bus setup failed: Connection ":1.718" is not allowed to own the service "org.bluez" due to security policies in the configuration file
I found this in /etc/dbus-1/system.d/bluetooth.conf:
<policy context="default">
<deny send_destination="org.bluez"/>
</policy>
Not sure if this is the problem, why it's here, or if it's even relevant. I figured it's not a good idea to start editing files I don't understand so I'm asking for advice. Please help!

Fixed. Apparently disabling my wifi adapter with the `plasma-nm` widget also disables the integrated bluetooth adapter.
Edit: nope, the bluetooth icon showed up in the system tray, but it still didn't work and after rebooting it's gone.
Edit 2: turned out to be a hardware issue.
