This is a revival of this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=120403&page=2.
The solution provided by sayantandas works well but needs a minor update for Jaunty. Very small fix to the script changing "if ps -A | grep -c bluetoothd-serv" to "if ps -A | grep -c bluetoothd"
Modified instructions:
#!/bin/bash
if ps -A | grep -c bluetoothd
then
gksudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth stop
sudo hciconfig hci0 down
sudo rmmod hci_usb
else
sudo modprobe hci_usb reset=1
gksudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth start
fi
copy and paste this code by making a shell script. give it executable permission. name it something like 'bluetooth_toggle.sh' put it in the /bin folder, make a shortcut to ur desktop . Double click on it, select run, and thats it. u can toggle the bluetooth.
As a bonus, if you set the bluetooth icon to display only when device is present in the bluetooth-applet, you get a visual indication of bluetooth being on or off!:popcorn:
