Bluetooth speaker not connecting on system startup

Dear arch experts,

For context: I am using the pipewire/pipewire-pulse/wireplumber stack.

I have a bluetooth speaker connected to my PC for audio. I managed to get the bluetooth device connected (and paired and trusted) and the audio works fine.

However, I am experiencing a frustrating problem that I cannot get it to automatically connect when the system starts.

After a fresh boot:
`journalctl -r -b0 -u bluetooth`

There is a simple manual fix, which is to restart the bluetooth service:

`sudo systemctl restart bluetooth`

after which the journal for bluetooth looks like this:

So I am stuck restarting the bluetooth service on every boot, which seems silly and is quite annoying.

I very much would like this to happen automatically. Any ideas or suggestions how to achieve that?

Re: Bluetooth speaker not connecting on system startup

try

    Install the bluez package, providing the Bluetooth protocol stack.
    Install the bluez-utils package, providing the bluetoothctl utility. ...
    The generic Bluetooth driver is the btusb kernel module. ...
    Start/enable bluetooth.

Re: Bluetooth speaker not connecting on system startup

I have both of those packages installed, thats how I got the device to connect.

The bluetooth connection works fine, the problem is that I have to forcibly restart the bluetooth service on every boot:

`sudo systemctl restart bluetooth`

Re: Bluetooth speaker not connecting on system startup

I also have tried the package `bluetooth-autoconnect`.

The log for that service:

May 14 18:44:12 cyxwel bluetooth-autoconnect[845]: error connecting to device /org/bluez/hci0/dev_00_22_D9_00_1A_BE: br-connection-profile-unavailable

Re: Bluetooth speaker not connecting on system startup

i get you now it just restart after reboot you need to type this because is disable
to check 

systemctl is-enabled bluetooth

To enable it, run 

systemctl enable bluetooth

This effectively starts the service at boot, so you won't need to run it each time via terminal

systemctl start bluetooth
