some things turned off at boot

[linuxopjemac]

Can someone help me to turn bluetooth of at boot/login ? I don't want to have bluetooth on while running Ubuntu. Another thing is how to have the power settings to "powersave" at boot/login all the time. It now always goes to on demand. I have laptop mode enabled and I have the following code in /etc/laptop-mode/conf.d/cpufreq.conf

CONTROL_CPU_FREQUENCY=1
BATT_CPU_MAXFREQ=slowest
BATT_CPU_MINFREQ=slowest
BATT_CPU_GOVERNOR=powersafe
BATT_CPU_IGNORE_NICE_LOAD=1
LM_AC_CPU_MAXFREQ=fastest
LM_AC_CPU_MINFREQ=slowest
LM_AC_CPU_GOVERNOR=ondemand
LM_AC_CPU_IGNORE_NICE_LOAD=1
NOLM_AC_CPU_MAXFREQ=fastest
NOLM_AC_CPU_MINFREQ=slowest
NOLM_AC_CPU_GOVERNOR=ondemand
NOLM_AC_CPU_IGNORE_NICE_LOAD=0

I want the same thing. How can we do it?

To set it automatically for Intel Duo Core to preferred setting on startup, these lines should be added in /etc/rc.local


echo powersave > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
echo powersave > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_governor

done

exit 0

to turn off bluetooth I simply made the bluetooth script in /etc/init.d not executable anymore

And what if you want to turn it on? Is the icon still there? Can you still use it?

[linuxopjemac]

the icon is there, it says bluetooth is disabled but I can still turn it off and on, so I don't really know what's going on there....

to turn off bluetooth or wifi, you might want to use the 'rfkill' command:

sudo rfkill block bluetooth


(or put this line without 'sudo' to /etc/rc.local if you like.)

I'm not in ubuntu at the moment, but I seem to remember that there is an option under the system menu. I think that the menu item is called services and is under administration. It has a list of startup services (including bluetooth) which you can enable or disable with a tick box.

[linuxopjemac]

there s only the bluetooth applet, probably not bluetooth itself

@ _mario_ thank you very much for that tip, I added your line in /etc/rc.local and now I have powersave at boot and bluetooth turned off:

echo powersave > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
echo powersave > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_governor
rfkill block bluetooth

Thank you for the tip.

It worked like a charm to deactivate BT at startup. Only a consideration. rfkill only work in 'karmic' kernels 2.6.31.

I've tried to do it in a 9.04 installation, installing git as mentioned here http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/wireless-internet/154523-rfkill-query-tool.html, but it doesn't work to me.

Thanks again!
