Cannot turn on bluetooth

[jibinraj]

I was trying to turn on my Bluetooth from the top right corner, and it was turned off. I clicked the drop-down and there it said it was turned off instead of turn on. Furthermore, I then went into settings and tried to toggle the Bluetooth, but it wasn’t turning on.
Additional issue: I tried to screen record by using Ctrl+Shift+Alt+R, but it was also not turning on.
I have Manjaro with gnome desktop. Please help.

You can see your gnome screen recorder (screencast) shortcut keys with:

gsettings get org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys screencast

If it still doesn’t work then try installing gstreamer:

sudo pacman -S gstreamer

@Bluetooth not working on Manjaro GNOME

sudo rfkill

Hey buddy, when I typed the command sudo rfkill, it showed that

I guess it says my software is blocked. How to unblock it?
