How do you have bluetooth off at boot?

linux-howto

http://forums.fedoraforum.org – In F17 with Gnome3 my laptop boots with Bluetooth enabled. I would like to have bluetooth off when the computer is turned on, but still available for use if I want it. A simple systemctl disable bluetooth.service does not stop bluetooth from starting and being on. I notice there is a bluetooth.target as well, and reading http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Systemd it is stated as an example under the definition of targets: "bluetooth.target which is requested as soon as a bluetooth dongle becomes available and which simply pulls in bluetooth related services that otherwise would not need to (HowTos)

Using bluetooth headset? 36 weeks 3 days ago

I am on Ubuntu Server 12.04 and I have a Bluetooth USB Dongle I would like to use. Will drivers be automatically installed (if available) when I plug the Bluetooth Dongle? Which tools are there to check if my headset was found etc? I always only find tutorials on how to work with bluetooth with the GUI ):

Edit:

install bluez package lsusb | grep Bluetooth hciconfig --all hcitool scan

Bluetooth keeps turning on 22 weeks 10 hours ago

I am running 12.04, and I have absolutely no use for bluetooth right now. I have turned it off, and after i turn it on again, it turns on. I have a dell latitude d830. Thanks for the help in advance

Additional info: it happened again; i turned bluetooth off before i left, restarted the computer, and bluetooth was on.

I know my laptop has a bluetooth card in it, but I don't know what make or model... Ubuntu even says "Stopping bluetooth" on shutdown.

But for some reason, it won't detect any bluetooth cards or let me enable bluetooth.

Help please? Thanks!

HOWTO: Bluetooth 13 weeks 2 days ago

This thread seems to have outdated info on getting bluetooth to work? I'm using the latest Waldorf on my hp mini. I first tried using the Debian Bluetooth User guide http://wiki.debian.org/BluetoothUser but that didn't get me anywhere. Couldn't get the bluetooth icon to show up in the tray and hcitool dev command returns no devices.
