Hi,
once I install tlp, I am unable to connect/remove bluetooth devices, neither through gnome nor through bluetoothctl. It seems that the device is not powered on:

It doesn’t make a difference whether or not I run bluetoothctl as root. As soon as I remove tlp it works again. I don’t have other power management tools like laptop-mode-tools installed. I tried to play a bit with the DEVICES_TO_ENABLE_ON_STARTUP settings in /etc/default/tlp but to no avail.
