I have the Intel Ax210 chip for WiFi and Bluetooth both of which worked fine until two days ago. After yesterday’s daily boot up of my pc, I noticed that Bluetooth was off in gnome-settings which was not responsive to my attempts at turning it on (the GUI slider was not turning it on). Output of different commands I’ve tried are below.
systemctl status bluetooth.service

I’ve also trying to unload and reload the modules as well as restarting bluetooth.service
. bluetoothctl
outputs No default controller available
Nothing seems out of the ordinary to me in the logs and I’m unable to identify where the issue is. Strangely enough, cold booting my pc (unplugging the power cable after shutdown) fixed the issue for the following boot but is obviously not a long term solution. I got the idea from here. If it is of any significance, I’m using the 5.13.7-arch1-1
kernel.
