How to turn off Bluetooth at startup
|
8 years ago 6 |
You know this anoing bit about Bluetooth being enabled at system startup?
This is how to turn it of automatically so you don't have to:
1). Enter the following in terminal: sudo gedit /etc/rc.local
2). Enter: rfkill block bluetooth
just before the exit 0 command.
3). Save and reboot.
rc.local is runed for the user at each startup.
So in effect you are "soft killing" Bluetooth at startup.
Note: This does no harm and you can turn Bluetooth on by your self via the system tray when needed.

IMO this is worth the effort because he is right that it is annoying
and I doubt that it will not waste power when activated -
appreciated
It only uses up battery if you connect devices...
Same goes for security. No one can connect unless you allow. So again, not really worth the effort IMHO, so again, why bother. But it will work
very good!
especially on long journeys this will let the battery additional time.
By the way it is more secure and gives more privacy while traveling.
Why bother? So you use a few extra milliseconds at start and then a few kB of RAM.
It will work but I would like a better rationale.
