my raspberry pi 3 model B, running Arch, has an issue with bluetooth. First of all:
- Bluetooth has worked flawlessly previously
- pi-bluetooth from the AUR is up to date
- bluez and bluez-utils are up to date
- The system is up to date as well (just ran pacman -Syu)
Still, when I try to use the bluetooth interface, it doesn't work.
bluetoothctl (as root), when I run "scan on", tells me
Failed to start discovery: org.bluez.Error.NotReady
wminput can't find the bluetooth interface:
No Bluetooth interface found
unable to connect
"systemctl status bluetooth" has the following output:
● bluetooth.service - Bluetooth service

I am at my wits end here, everything seems to be fine, yet nothing works. What is going on here?
