I want to blacklist my Bluetooth Module

[Rovdjur]

Well, I have a Lenovo X300 and the bluetooth is always on and I want to prevent it from ever turning on in Ubuntu ever again. I don't use it and have no need for it. I have already done the menu>admin>services and uncheck bluetooth, but the little hardware light still comes on meaning that the module is, in fact, still on. The OS just won't start the services. How can I prevent it from turning on at all?

Please help.

Thanks!

All you have to do is add the bluetooth module to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist. To do that press Alt-F2 and type:

gksu gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist

Create a comment about why you are blacklisting the the dirver, preface the comment with a #. Then add bluetooth to the list. Save the file and reboot.

Well, I am rather new at linux, so how do I figure out the exact name of my bluetooth module (exactly what to type in the blacklist)?

Thanks :)
