из rc.conf dbus и bluetooth стартуют нормально, однако зуб упорно не хочет искать устройства
так взлетает
sudo /etc/rc.d/bluetooth start
но!
sudo /etc/rc.d/dbus start
:: Starting D-BUS system messagebus                                      
[BUSY] Failed to start message bus: The pid file "/var/run/dbus.pid" exists, if the message bus is not running, remove this file [FAIL] 

через задний проход удалось запустить blueman но устройства по прежнему не находит
на самом синезубе при поиске устройств даже лампочка не моргает
в /etc/pacman.conf
раскоментируй SigLevel = Optional TrustAll

потом

pacman-db-upgrade
pacman -Syy

ну и на всякий случай:
pacman -S pacman
сделал все по вики: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bluetooth_(%D0%A0%D1%83%D1%81%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B8%D0%B9)
в результате:
$ /etc/rc.d/dbus start
:: Starting D-BUS system messagebus [BUSY] 
Failed to start message bus: The pid file "/var/run/dbus.pid" exists, if the message bus is not running, remove this file [FAIL]

:: Starting bluetooth subsystem:  bluetoothd hiddCan't listen on HID control channel: Permission denied
/etc/rc.d/functions: line 203: /run/daemons/bluetooth: Permission denied [DONE] 

при запуске blueman:
Демон Bluez не запущен, blueman-manager не может продолжать работу.
Это может означать, что не было обнаружено Bluetooth адаптеров или демон Bluetooth не запущен.
