After logging in bluetooth is off and cannot be turned on

[Robert Nasiadek]

Since upgrading to Ubuntu 19.04:

After logging in, Bluetooth is turned off and yet quick settings in system tray still give me an option to turn it off (see the attached screenshot).

After clicking "turn off" the option changes to "turn on", but clicking on "turn on" doesn't do anything. I can keep flipping between on and off and nothing happens. If I go to the full Bluetooth settings the same thing happens. Basically I can't turn the Bluetooth on at all.

When I use the kill switch on my laptop (Purism Librem 13) Bluetooth settings correctly tell me there's no Bluetooth adapter on my laptop. When I flip the kill switch back and wait a few seconds I can turn the Bluetooth on and then it will work.

In short - I have to kill and unkill Bluetooth for it to work.

This was not an issue on the previous version of Ubuntu (18.10).
