[Solved] Had bluetooth problem regarding plugins

I just want to document the problem I had and how I solved it. I think I put this in the correct category.

This morning after yesterdays update (YYYY MM DD 2023 08 19) I had no bluetooth at all, where sudo systemctl enable bluetooth did not work at all.

[olividir@ProX15 ~]$ sudo systemctl enable --now bluetooth
[sudo] password for olividir: 
[olividir@ProX15 ~]$ sudo systemctl start bluetooth
[olividir@ProX15 ~]$ systemctl status bluetooth

As you see some of the plugins did not work, so I did some digging and found this post https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/yu9az9/bluetooth_errors_since_2_days_ago/

By inserting these commands:

[olividir@ProX15 ~]$ sudo rmmod btusb
[olividir@ProX15 ~]$ sudo rmmod btintel

and

[olividir@ProX15 ~]$ sudo modprobe btintel
[olividir@ProX15 ~]$ sudo modprobe btusb

Solved my issue.
