• Modify this line to add the wheel group to it.

  SystemGroup wheel root

• Save the file and restart the CUPS service: sudo systemctl restart cups
• Add your user to the wheel group: sudo usermod -a -G wheel $USER
• Log out and log in again for the group changes to take effect.

• Run sudo systemctl edit bluetooth.service
• Add the following content to the file:

  [Service]
  ExecStart=
  ExecStart=/usr/libexec/bluetooth/bluetoothd --experimental

  NOTE: The first blank ExecStart= line is required to tell systemd to ignore the default ExecStart.
• Save and exit, and run:

  sudo systemctl daemon-reload
  sudo systemctl restart bluetooth.service
