Subject: No default controller available error

Hi,

I just cloned the latest Bluez and tried to install it with mesh enabled. The installation was
successful. But when i run the mesh control and try to do discover-unprovisioned,i am facing below error.I also get same error when i tried with bluetoothctl.

$ meshctl
Waiting to connect to bluetoothd...Reading prov_db.json and local_node.json from /home/nazeer/.config/meshctl directory
[meshctl]# discover-unprovisioned on
No default controller available
[meshctl]#

I checked weather the service was running. And found it was running fine

sudo systemctl status bluetooth
● bluetooth.service - Bluetooth service

FYI, most of the development effort is now focused on bluetooth-meshd,
which supports ADV bearer. Meshctl is a GATT proxy client and is going
to be phased out.

Please take a look at doc/mesh-api.txt instead.

Also note that at the moment it's not possible to run 'regulard'
bluetoothd and bluetooth-meshd on a single HCI interface.

regards
