Bluetooth starts up at login

Question

This has always annoyed me. Bluetooth turns on when I boot up my laptop, and it's a real drain if I forget to turn it off. It's been a year, and I'd like to find the solution, finally, here.

Thank you :)

Answer 1

Check lsmod | grep btusb If it shows btusb then

echo "blacklist btusb" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/btusb.conf

Reboot and this should prevent bluetooth from working

And there is a udev rule that can be used if this doesn't work, just post the results of lsusb

Answer 2

The bluez package installs /lib/udev/rules.d/50-bluetooth-hci-auto-poweron.rules. Removing it should avoid the auto poweron.
