In Ubuntu 18.04 gnome-control-center, I can't start bluetooth service despite having toggled the "Start Toggle" widget. This was not the case previously. Also, I noticed that whenever I powered-up/start the system, the bluetooth service isn't started up.
$ gnome-control-center --version
gnome-control-center 3.28.2
$ sudo systemctl status bluetooth.service

I am able to manually start the bluetooth service via terminal:
$ sudo systemctl start bluetooth.service
The Ubuntu 18.04 gnome-control_center-->Bluetooth-->start-toggle widget seems to be broken. How do I fix this issue?
