Ok, so for some unexplained reason bluetooth works fine again... I
installed obex ftp but I am not even sure that it solved my problem...
I explored the parameters through bluetoothctl and suddenly bluetooth

By the way, I am new at mailing lists, how do you mark a thread as
solved (just like in the forums)?
