Bluetooth is off by default

[marginoferror]

I have a Lemur Ultrathin, and I'm having a problem where bluetooth is powered off by default on boot and on resume from suspend. Is there any way to make it be on by default after a boot or resume?

I'm also curious if anyone knows how to change this setting.

As far as I know, this is a feature at the BIOS level of the computer. There is no way to change it. It is a little inconvenient, but I've learned to deal with it. If you search the System76 section of the forums, you'll find a few other threads about this.

It's actually an effort to save on the battery. Bluetooth will drain your battery fast, so we disable it on boot up by default.

Is there any way to have it automatically come back on after suspend? I mean there has to be a way to do it with some script - that would solve the problem at bootup too. Do you know what command exactly needs to be run to turn on bluetooth?

I believe it's actually done at the hardware level, so Ubuntu actually won't see it until you press the key combination.
