Hello There,
I have found the same problem. I have got an Acer Aspire 5630, and recently installed kubuntu 10.4.
When I start the laptop the bluetooth's blue led at the front of the laptop is always on, and the bluetooth icon on the system tray is in blue, which means active.
I would like to have my bluetooth switched off by default, but keeping the option of switch it on when required, as I have it configured in WinXP.
In order to do it I first tryed to change the line Autostart in ~/.kde/share/config/kbluetoothrc from true to false:
But it didn't work, and when re-starting the laptop it always started with the bluetooth active and the led on.
Secondly I tried to modify the file /etc/bluetooth/main.conf, there is a line "InitiallyPowered = true" which I change to false:
Always with the same result, when rebooting, after the linux grub, the light turns on, and once in the desktop, the bluetooth is active in the system tray.
When I perform the command:
I get the system tray bluetooth icon greyed out, but the bluetooth led still on!!
There is a slider button which controls bluetooth, when I use it, I get my bluetooth off, as the light. This one is the only way I have found to perform the operation I want, although I need to do it manually after reboot.
To succeed in getting my bluetooth switched off by default I have thought a workaround, which would be "to catch" the signal that the slide button performs, and add it when booting. But I don't know if this is possible/good idea.
I have been working a few days in this issue, but I didn't find a solution. As far as I know people with DELL computers are having a similar issue. When I read Kmetamorphosis I started to think there is a bug.
Any idea?
