Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] [Doc/Support Request] Removal of Bluetooth
Hi Bhaskar, many thanks for that on disabling Bluetooth. It has been added to the Workarounds area https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ/Workarounds @ A J - it will need adding to your mega thread on the forum. Regards, Phill.

For me the output is: bluetooth 179900 23 rfcomm,bnep,btusb You will have to blacklist these modules in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist So add the following lines to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist file: blacklist rfcomm blacklist bnep blacklist btusb blacklist bluetooth And reboot. After the reboot you can check lsmod | grep bluetooth to see if it is loaded or not, if it returns empty then it's not loaded. As for the bluetooth related packages, I'm not sure maybe someone else can point out the relevant packages specific to Lubuntu as I have a lot of other packages installed as well, I believe removing bluez and bluetooth should do it. Hope this helps, cheers :) Regards, Bhaskar Kandiyal -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAk742SEACgkQc3l9wn9I2Ofo4ACfV0vZMxrdEgfIrPBSJFjEPIef QZgAn3HV/KN1x3Qli6pVUbv2tXxnJeoQ =KTBN -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop Post to : lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Lubuntu-desktop] [Doc/Support Request] Removal of Bluetooth
Hi list, As I was looking around the web for a way to remove/disable bluetooth completely, as the BIOS of the machine can't do it for some reason (I rather not flash it). I noticed that there were no good documentation regarding this issue, neither on our own wiki[1], help.ubuntu[2], or arch's wiki[3]. So I shamefully ask if someone could provide their expertise to document this issue? Ideas on what to cover: *Disabling bluetooth by configuration. *Removing bluetooth related packages. *Disabling the kernel module (for marginal boot time decrease, if any). Regards, Alexander.
