How do you disable Bluetooth from terminal in Ubuntu
To stop :
sudo service bluetooth stop
To start again:
sudo service bluetooth start
To restart :
sudo service bluetooth restart
To check current status:
service bluetooth status
Or you can use rfkill
command:
rfkill block bluetooth
You can also disable single adapters like
sudo hciconfig hci0 down
If hci0
is the only adapter, this means bluetooth is unavailable then.
Also if you want to disable it permanently:
sudo mv /etc/init/bluetooth.conf /etc/init/bluetooth.conf.disabled
To re-enable:
sudo mv /etc/init/bluetooth.conf.disabled /etc/init/bluetooth.conf
