[SOLVED] Bluetooth setup fail after kernel update to 4.20.1-arch1-1

This evening after update of the kernel to 4.20.1-arch1-1-ARCH on reboot there was a bluetooth failure that was not previously a problem.

$ sudo systemctl status bluetooth
● bluetooth.service - Bluetooth service
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/bluetooth.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)
   Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Sun 2019-01-13 21:16:11 GMT; 11min ago
     Docs: man:bluetoothd(8)
  Process: 937 ExecStart=/usr/lib/bluetooth/bluetoothd (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)
 Main PID: 937 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)
   Status: "Starting up"

Jan 13 21:16:11 lenovo1 systemd[1]: bluetooth.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
Jan 13 21:16:11 lenovo1 systemd[1]: Failed to start Bluetooth service.

Does anyone know of a workaround?

Came here to search solution to the same issue. Then i tried to downgrade bluez and it worked. Just downgrade to bluez-5.50-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz and ad bluez in your ignorelist temporarily.

Also came here after realizing I do not have a /etc/dbus-1/system.d/bluetooth.conf file that was relevant for others who had this error message in the past. I see the bluez 5.50-5 released today no longer has that file but has a /usr/share/dbus-1/dbus-1/system.d/bluetooth.conf.

The bug has been reported at https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/61386 with a workaround to rebuild with a changed flag.

Re: [SOLVED] Bluetooth setup fail after kernel update to 4.20.1-arch1-1

My system encountered a similar problem after updating today, my bluetooth mouse stopped working...

The culprits was one of the bluez suite, so after downgrading them

bluez (5.50-5 -> 5.50-3)
bluez-libs (5.50-5 -> 5.50-3)
bluez-utils (5.50-4 -> 5.50-3)

bluetoothctl and my mouse are working nicely again, just had to add those pkgs to IgnorePkg in /etc/pacman.conf too, as it was said in this thread.

PS: it has been recognised in past comment that the problem may be solely with bluez,

+1 came here to say the same. Guys you rock. I was first to report issue only once (not here). Sometimes bug is fixed until i realize that there was a bug.
