Hey Everybody,

I have an Acer Travelmate with an external Bluetoothswitch. Everytime I boot Linux Bluetooth is automatically activated. I'm running Kubuntu. How can I disable my Bluetooth so that it doesn't start on Startup?

Thanks for your help.

Hello,

See the following thread and link !
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...tartup-656071/
and
http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/11/...on-ubuntu-710/

Thanks for the reply. I tried both methods, but it still aktivates on startup.

Do you know which is the process of bluetooth ?

Generally, is sufficient.

Could you please post output of
May be I can help you out then.

Sorry for the late reply. Here comes the post:

"chkconfig bluetooth off" doesn't work.

Hi Boy2melo,

Strange, I have no idea why chkconfig bluetooth off is not working.

Could you please post output of

BUT, I can give you a work around. Run the below command being as root user.

IIRC chkconfig is a very redhat centric tool and Ubuntu handles starting of daemons quite differently. I think there are also some significant differences between different releases of Ubuntu. What Ubuntu version (ie version number) are you running?

Evo2.

Runlevel 2 2010-05-27 13:13

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04.

Here, lies the problem -- I believe you bluetooth package has corrupted or has some missing libraries.




Still you have bluetooth enabled on runlevel 2,3,4 and 5.



I suggest you to run the below command as root and reboot the system
After rebooting, run this command and paste the output, ideally it should not show anything.
