Hi,
My ubuntu 9.04 works great on my Dell Vostro 1400, everything works flawlessly! I can turn off bluetooth manually if I right click the Bluetooth icon > Preferences > "General Tab" > Uncheck "Dell Bluetooth Switch" and that will correctly turn off my bluetooth.
Is there any way to have it unchecked at startup? As I would only like to turn it on when I need to.
-------------------------------------------------------
Q: Bluetooth works fine, how do I turn it off (saving power) while still having the option to enable it when I need it?
A:
Turn OFF bluetooth:
Turn ON bluetooth:Code:sudo /usr/lib/hal/hal-system-smbios --bt 0
Check bluetooth status:Code:sudo /usr/lib/hal/hal-system-smbios --bt 1
Append "/usr/lib/hal/hal-system-smbios --bt 0" to /etc/init.d/bluetooth to turn bluetooth off at startupCode:/usr/lib/hal/hal-system-smbios --st_bt ; echo $?
If you need to use bluetooth, goto: System > Preferences > Bluetooth, this will re-enable Bluetooth.
Works perfectly on Dell Vostro 1400
