I don't use bluetooth on my laptop. But my Ubuntu installation doesn't remember my preference to switch-off bluetooth. After rebooting, Blutooth is again switched on.

What is the reason? What is the solution?

Mine is Ubuntu 13.10 on a Dell inspiron laptop

Thanks, KK

Edit /etc/bluetooth/main.conf:

sudo gedit /etc/bluetooth/main.conf

Change InitiallyPowered = true to InitiallyPowered = false

If that doesn't works, run sudoedit /etc/rc.local and add this before line with exit 0:

rfkill block bluetooth

The problem is that blueman-applet has an auto-power setting that automatically enables bluetooth each time the indicator starts. So if you you want Ubuntu to remember your preference open a terminal and type this:

$ gsettings set org.blueman.plugins.powermanager auto-power-on false

This way you can just disable bluetooth and the OS will remember it and won't automatically re-enable it next time you turn on or reboot your PC.
