VBox 6.x KILLED my BlueTooth?


I am using slack 64 current here.

The slackbuild was failing for virtualbox, so I dl the install off of https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads

Code:
userx@slack.current.ed:~/Downloads
$ sudo ./VirtualBox-6.0.6-130049-Linux_amd64.run
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing VirtualBox for Linux installation.............
VirtualBox Version 6.0.6 r130049 (2019-04-16T10:15:36Z) installer
Installing VirtualBox to /opt/VirtualBox
Python found: python, installing bindings...
depmod: WARNING: could not open modules.order at /lib/modules/4.19.36: No such file or directory
depmod: WARNING: could not open modules.builtin at /lib/modules/4.19.36: No such file or directory

VirtualBox has been installed successfully.

You will find useful information about using VirtualBox in the user manual
  /opt/VirtualBox/UserManual.pdf
and in the user FAQ
  http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/User_FAQ

We hope that you enjoy using VirtualBox.
Now my bluetooth is not working at all, like nothing...

Code:
$ sudo /etc/rc.d/rc.bluetooth
Usage: /etc/rc.d/rc.bluetooth {start|stop|restart}
userx@slack.current.ed:~
$ sudo /etc/rc.d/rc.bluetooth restart
as you can see it is there, but when I tell it to restart, I get nothing. Installing that virtualbox is all I did, and yes I had bt and it restarted before this too. Now nothing, and blueman-applet...

Code:
userx@slack.current.ed:~
$ blueman-applet

I imagine that dbus is somehow borked after your virtualbox install.

I went into xfce4 and started the bluetooth manager where you do the find and pair and it tells me I need to turn on bluetooh.

wtf?

before that I had to type in blueman-applet and it tells me one is already running but I do not see an icon for it.

turning off virtualization in my BIOS to see if that has anything to do with this, that is the only other thing I changed on my system before it went bonkers.

I hardly think so, I must have by some strange unexplainable reason unchecked bluetooth when i was in the BIOS turning on virtualization and as I have not re-installed vbox (yet?) I'd still venture to say no.
