I haven't quite figured out the pattern, but I've noticed -usually- if I boot into windows, bluetooth will be turned off automatically (or I turn it off manually). And then rebooting back into ubuntu it stays off.
For a while this was working consistently, but lately I've been having some anomalies with that, so can't say its a true workaround. As far as I can tell, there's no way to control bluetooth from the bios, so you're dependent on the OS or the hardware toggle (which also disables wifi) to prevent bluetooth from coming on at startup. -- Bluetooth on IBM Thinkpad R52 automatically gets enabled when Ubuntu 8.10 is restarted https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/283625 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
