Bluetooth permanently on in 14.04

  • 772

Just updated 14.04 and now bluetooth is permanently on.

  1. Disabling on the bar does not work;
  2. Disabling via the System Settings menu does not work either;
  3. I already had, before the update, set InitiallyPowered = false in /etc/bluetooth/main.conf;
  4. Issuing the command $ rfkill block bluetooth does not work (also tried with sudo);
  5. I've rebooted after the update, twice, but did not help either.

I'd like to have it switched off on boot, but still be able to enable it when I need it. Any solutions?

    Add

    rfkill block bluetooth

    into

    /etc/rc.local

    before

    exit 0

    command.

    To disable the bluetooth driver from loading on startup:

    sudo $EDITOR /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

    add:

    blacklist btusb

    Enabling it later should just be:

    sudo modprobe btusb
