Bluetooth indicator will not stay turned off after reboot

[Jason Warner]

I turned off bluetooth indicator and rebooted. Bluetooth indicator was turned on again after reboot. This happens everytime I reboot meaning I have to turn off bluetooth indicator each time I reboot.

There was an obvious bug in the code, update_icon_visibility() which calls g_settings_get_boolean (gsettings, GSETTINGS_VISIBLE_KEY) was being called before g_settings_new() due to one of the other init funtions, I've fixed that in r63 by moving the g_settings_init block a bit ealier, not sure if that's enough to fix your issue though since I could confirm the bug on my box

Jason, is that still an issue? I lower the importance since the ui got dropped

[Jason Warner (jasoncwarner)]

Yes, this is still happening, though I agree on the lower priority.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Jason,

What kind of system are you seeing this happening on? I'm wondering if the killswitch status saving/restoring might be broken for some Dell devices, since one of the rfkill devices actually gets removed and re-added when the state is toggled for Dell systems (at least, it's easily reproducible on mine, and a few other Dell machines I've tried).

My computer is not Dell and I can confirm this annoying bug.

Bluetooth device (USB):
        ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)
Motherboard:

I have a Dell Precision M4300 running 12.04 and am seeing the same issue.

I have the same issue.

I have a 12.04 Macbook Air with the same issue. This bug is a duplicate of bug #964299 but I'll close that since the discussion seems to be here.

I'd like the priority to be increased on this as well because it's a significant power drain for laptops.

[Klaus Buehler (buehler-z)]

I still have the same issue on a lenovo ThinkPad T520:

Forgot to mention that I am not using unity desktop. I am using gnome classic instead. Did not uninstall unity though. Can switch back to unity.

I have Samsung Series 9 900X3B and I am seeing the same issue.

If I disable Bluetooth in the Bluetooth applet, after rebooting Bluetooth is enabled again.

[sojusnik (sojusnik)]

I've updated the BIOS to a new version, something with 03, then did a fresh install of Ubuntu Gnome Shell 12.10, added the Gnome3 ppa and realized, that the Bluetooth status is saved now.

[Սահակ (petrosyan)]

I can confirm that this issue seems to have been fixed on the latest Ubuntu 12.10 with all the latest updates installed

[Coiby Xu (coiby)]

Oh, the bug appears again in Ubuntu 13.4.

[Սահակ (petrosyan)]

Coiby, I can confirm that the bug reappeared in Ubuntu 13.04

I am not able to re-open this bug.

Can you please file a new bug report and paste a link to that bug here?

Thanks.
