Ubuntu :: Startup Script To Disable Bluetooth Device (Hci0)
May 14, 2010
I've a custom startup script myscript.sh placed inside /etc/init.d/ directory with below lines to disable usb bluetooth device "hci0". This happens on Ubuntu Lucid.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
echo "Disabling hci0 bluetooth usb dongle"
/usr/sbin/hciconfig hci0 down &
Here is the /var/log/daemon.log
When I rebooted it worked fine disabling the bluetooth dongle. But, later on, it gets enabled! I've lost it!
Code:

I used update-rc.d myscript S 26 2 3 4 5 . to update symlinks.
I have an Acer Travelmate with an external Bluetoothswitch. Everytime I boot Linux Bluetooth is automatically activated. I'm running Kubuntu. How can I disable my Bluetooth so that it doesn't start on Startup?
Everytime gnome starts up, the bluetooth applet has bluetooth enabled. I use it infrequently, so I always change it to disabled, but how do I make this the default setting for the bluetooth applet?
im unable to turn bluetooth on at startup, i have to use the applet every time and click enable, any ideas on how to do this via terminal so i can do it on boot?
how to disable rSIM in the current bluetooth stack?Starting about a week ago, whenever my phone (Android Captivate) pairs with my ubuntu workstation the rSIM profile is enabled which effectively turns off my cell service since my Ubuntu machine does not have a GSM/3G radio built in.I'd like to disable rSIM altogether so that I can again re-pair my phone to my Linux system. All my searching turn up results for people trying FIX this service...
I have a MS bluethooth keyboard/mouse, and a USB bluetooth dongle
In 10.1 I can add both with no problems - but I have to explicitly tell ubuntu to connect to the devices at each machine reboot, which means plugging in a wired mouse first
Does anyone know how I can set the machine to connect automatically at every startup to both my keyboard and my mouse? I found a set of instructions here:
[URL]
But it is from 2007 and I'm not sure its still correct?
I have problems with a high pitch noise on my lenovo thinkpad t61. Seems that more people have the problem: [URL]... When I stick in my usb mouse, problem is gone. I only have this problem on battery. when posting this rmmod uhci_hcd seems to solve it. How to make that permanent? How do disable bluetooth permanently?
My bluetooth seems to be activated in the system tray when I start the computer, can I disable this?.I do not want my computer to be visible to other computers if you know what I mean.Is it still safe even if the icon shows, Iam a little afraid someone might be able to hack the system this way? If itś still safe having it this way I dont really need to turn it of guess i�m a litlle paranoid because i never use bluetooth
there is something called show bluetooth icon when you click on Preferences in the menu is that a way to disable it?usually i used the quick keys on my keyboard but they don't seems to work in opensuse
I have just bought a used Lenovo Thinkpad R61. Most of the things works in Squeeze like it did with Vista. But a bit annoying is that when i Vista with the "Fn-F5" could turn both wireless and bluetooth on and off. Now it is only wireless that works that way. On the top panel i can turn both wireless and bluetooth on and off, but it is still annnnoying. Is the a way to make all keys funktion on my Thinkpad?
I have recently installed Lubuntu 11.04 on an old system. the problem is that it hangs at startup when tries to "Starting Bluetooth". I have searched through this forum and the web and it seems that the problem has something to do with my TV Card. But I can't remove the card because it is a part of my Graphic Card which is an "ATI Radeon 8500DV All In Wonder". I can start the machine with Lubuntu Live CD, and so I thought that maybe I can change a value in a file from installed Lubuntu through Live session that makes the Bluetooth Service disabled at startup.
I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 and bluetooth turn/off is not possible. However, with 2.6.37 kernel it is possible. Now i have gathered whole info about the device(mac adress, usb port etc) from 2.6.37 and what i need is to somehow use those info in kernel 2.6.38 so that bluetooth works.
lsusb in 2.6.37 (while bt is on)

I've got myself a a Filco Majestouch Convertible 2 which is a USB/bluetooth keyboard.
When I use it in USB mode it works perfectly. I would like to use it in bluetooth mode and I've found that it has problems. When I hit either Numlock or Capslock it stops responding.
I'm running Debian Testing and it was last updated a few days ago (02/05/2015). I've tested the keyboard using Ubuntu 14.04 live cd and it worked flawlessly even hitting Numlock & Capslock didn't stop it.
If I run btmon to monitor the keyboard it shows that after I've hit capslock or numlock it still sends signals to the computer. So there is information being sent to the computer but these characters do not make themselves to my application. I'm just testing with a terminal window.
Here is the output from btmon whilst the keyboard is connected and working:
Hitting the 'a' character a> ACL Data RX: Handle 35 flags 0x02 dlen 14 [hci0] 16.769645 Channel: 65 len 10 [PSM 19 mode 0] {chan 1} a1 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ..........

Here are the versions of software I'm using;

I've been having trouble in a couple of distros (including when I had windows installed..) getting my bluetooth working,
I have a dell vostro 1720, and the specs from dell insist there's a bluetooth adapter installed, and the laptop even has a little light which (ostensibly) indicates data being transmitted via bt... and, it's enabled in the bios.
though, dmesg | grep bluetooth
gives no results.
I've read comments on dell bluetooth for other dists, but can't seem to find any deb-specific recommendations.
So, how do i confirm that this laptop does *in deed* have a bluetooth adapter.. and... if there is one... how do let the kernel know about it?
I'm struggling for pairing my laptop with my phone to dial up internet. On slack 13 I configured hcid.conf but on the new 13.1 with the new demon bluetoothd I don't know how to pair on command line.Documentation is not a lot, or I'm not able to find it.
I have got my headset connecting to the system using the BlueMan interface. When I first did this it gave me a error about not being able to put the sound on-top of 'pulseaudio'. Well this well about the last straw between me and Mr. 'PulseAudio', so away he went. I removed the demon via this instruction. [ubuntu] Safely Remove Pulseaudio?
I then tried connecting to my bluetooth headset again, no errors. But the bluetooth sound device does not show up in any mixer, or application. What else do I need to do to get this working again. I know my hardware is fine, it used to work in the previous version of Ubuntu and it all works on my wifes Windoze XP computer.
Since i have 10.10 desktop i386 on my asus 901 im able connecting over bluetoth to my sony ericsson fone and get internet working! but i mmust everytime connecting doing the autorisation with the bluetooth device everytime conecting i must write for example 1 on both devices - laptop and handy,it must be on the linux software how can i turn off this issue!
I have laptop with bluetooth and I bought PS3 bluetooth remote. In windows this remote is working with EventGhost and I would like to use it in Fedora as well. This remote has to be paired without a pin code, which is how I paired it in windows.In Fedora, however, there is no such option "no pin" when using a standard way to connect bluetooth device.How can I pair this remote in Fedora?
I use fedora12-Gnome as my major desktop OS. Every basic need was fulfilled , until I tried Fedora12 KDE. The problem is with Bluetooth connectivity to my cell phone device.It connects to the cell phone and set trusted but I can't seem to see any option of "Browse files on Device".Does that mean in KDE I actually can not browse my Bluetooth connected devices?The same thing happened with Mandriva2010-Kde and Fedora13 Kde , I mean I guess It's related to KBluetooth app.
i have created dialup internet connection in windows xp using my bluetooth enabled mobile and bluetooth device ,,and my question is that how to set up the same procedure in my fedora 11 system.
I am developing an application which communicates with a bluetooth device.I do not want the user to pair or unpair the device using the Bluetooth applet or command line, but I want to automate the pairing process through my application. The application will scan and find the bluetooth devices in the proximity of the computer, and automatically pair the required device without any user input.Where should I look for the relevant APIs?
I have a nifty new headset (a JawBone icon�the noise cancellation is incredible) and I've successfully connected it to my Karmic laptop (64 bit, for the off chance it makes a difference). The trouble is, I only occasionally want to connect it to my laptop; I mostly use it with my mobile 'phone.
The two devices fight over my new toy a lot, and invariably the laptop wins, contrary to what I want. It seems a pain to have to rediscover the headset every time I want to use VIOP or whatever, so is there a way to add a device to Karmic's Bluetooth list, but not have it connect whenever it sees it?
After a lot of messing around and research, I figured out how to actually get my bluetooth headphones to connect and stay connected. Although once I shut them off, remove the device and re-add it using Blueman.
Right now, `pavucontrol` shows "Headphones (unplugged)" and there is no sound coming out of the speakers. But there is no sound coming out of the headphones either. They are set to the fallback. I've opened `alsamixer` and made sure everything was turned up. Still, no sound.
Since `bt-audio` isn't on Jessie, I don't know what I should do. It seems like this may be the missing step but I am unsure.
I've been having a problem with Bluetooth on Debian 8 Jessie i just can't connect to any bluetooth device, i have only tested my smartphone and my bluetooth headphones, i am using blueman manager.After attempting to connect to my bluetooth headphones/smartphone it just disconnects and says "Connection Failed: No such file or directory",i don't know if i have to create a config file or something, the error message doesn't say anything but the error previously mentioned.
First, excuse me for my bad english I want to connect a bluetooth device with the command rfcomm. In a terminal, I put the command :
Code: rfcomm connect 0 00:80:98:E4:07:53 And the system answers : Code: Connected /dev/rfcomm0 to 00:80:98:E4:07:53 on channel 1 Press CTRL-C for hangup
On fedora 10, or 11, I can use this command with all users. On fedora 12, only the root user can connect and use this device. Other users have the message :
Code: Can't open RFCOMM device: Permission denied What can I do to resolve this problem?
When a bluetooth controller I have connects I'd like a program launched (qjoypad) so that I can use it has a mouse. The controller has to be on before launching qjoypad otherwise qjoypad will not work.
So I was wondering if there is a way to launch a script when my controller connects, and then possibly when it disconnects to launch another script killing the qjoypad process.
EDIT: I created a script that checks if /dev/input/js0 exists, if it does then qjoypad is created
Code: #!/bin/bash while true; do if [ -c "/dev/input/js0" ]; then qjoypad
