Can someone assist with my error attempting to start bluetooth service:
Active: inactive (dead)
Condition: start condition failed at Mon 2018-03-05 21:54:02 MST; 4min 32s ago
ConditionPathIsDirectory=/sys/class/bluetooth was not met

FWIW, askubuntu.com/questions/791785/… seemed to work. But I would love to know why this suddenly was a problem and how to unpack it. Was it related to a recent upgrade, or starting to use virtualbox?– fratrikJul 6, 2018 at 21:14

try to run below command,
apt-get install rfkill
rfkill list
rfkill unblock bluetooth
service bluetooth start

Why would you need to install rfkill as it is installed by default at least in non-server versions of Ubuntu?– Jeremy31Mar 6, 2018 at 22:54
It appears that bluetooth has been soft-killed by some application. Try lifting the block by
rfkill unblock tpacpi_bluetooth_sw
and start the bluetooth service by
systemctl start bluetooth.service
