bluetooth automatically gets enabled on Ubuntu 9.04 boot

[Zillode]

Using Jaunty.
When I disable bluetooth (using the key provided on my keyboard), it automatically gets enabled again when I reboot my machine.
See dmesg / lspci for more information

this is a hardware problem.

your board probabily contain a security code that the ubuntu developer cant read

make this:

sistem admin controlers here you can update the controler that is not in use.

good luck

The user Juan Sebastian Cobaleda Cano is a troll, or something. We, in the Ubuntu-Co Team are cheking all his changes in Launchpad. Sorry for the problems.

Hi,

On my laptop Acer TravelMate 6292, I can confirm this bug on Jaunty (64 bits version, don't known if it works or not in 32 bits version).
In fact, in Jaunty, bluetooth and wifi are enabled on each boot (even if I disabled them both before rebooting).
It was working in Gutsy, Hardy and Intrepid (32bit versions).

I can commit Freds notice ... same notebook, same manners :-)

I also am experiencing this bug on an acer aspire 5652wlmi, default behavior should imho be to disable it, if it was disabled at shutdown.
it could be related to this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/273535

same here on the acer travelmate 7720, bluetooth and wifi gets enabled every time with jaunty 64bit.
Never had this issue on Intrepid 64bit.

I confirm this issue on my Acer Aspire 5920G. The Wifi and the Bluetooth automatically enable themselves on boot in latest Ubuntu Jaunty (2.6.28-11-generic x86). I see it because the button lights stay on. This was not the case in earlier versions of Ubuntu (Intrepid, Hardy, Gutsy). It is also not the case with my Windows XP OS (using dual boot).

Here are the extended outputs from lspci -vv and lsusb -vv commands.

Hi.
I have the same problem on an acer travelmate 5720; however, the previous 8.10 after an update had the same problem, even though only with wi-fi and not with bluetooth; 8.04 worked perfectly.
Attached the outputs from lspci -vv and lsusb -vv

Hi,
I have the same problem on my Aspire 5920. This problem was not present in 8.10

I have put the following in /etc/rc.local to disable bluetooth on boot up.

echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/acer-wmi/rfkill/rfkill1/state

Basically we have to find out the rfkill corresponding to the bluetooth device.

me@laptop:~$ cat /sys/devices/platform/acer-wmi/rfkill/rfkill1/type
bluetooth
me@laptop:~$

Hi!
I hope someone makes a update for the bluetooth for the Acer series just like the following patch was made Dell. Thanks.

Version 0.5.12~rc1+git20090403-0ubuntu4:

* 87_standalone_smbios.patch: Disable st_wlan again, it currently does not
work and always reports that the killswitch is on. This fixes a regression
from the previous SRU on some Dell models. (LP: #394663)

[Fred (frederic-lespez)]

This bug is fixed in Karmic Alpha 3 (at least for my laptop - Acer TravelMate 6292).

[Fred (frederic-lespez)]

Kernel 2.6.31-5 broke it again :-(

[Indian Art (goldfish-aol)]

This bug is still there in Karmic Alpha 4 (Live CD) on my Acer Laptop 5920.

[Indian Art (goldfish-aol)]

This bug is still there in Live CD Karmic Alpha-5 on my ACER 5920.

The bluetooth is coming on unnecessarily. Can involving ACER help? I think they get their systems checked for (Linpus) Linux

[Zillode (zillode)]

No Indian Art, this is a regression since Hardy. This means some update broke it. It just to work fine

[Indian Art (goldfish-aol)]

This bug is still there in Live CD Karmic Alpha-6 on my ACER 5920.
:-(

[Indian Art (goldfish-aol)]

This bug is still there in Live CD Karmic Beta on my ACER 5920.
:-(

[Indian Art (goldfish-aol)]

Can someone please direct me, as to where I need to complain, so that someone can give a fix / solution for this problem?
Thanks.

[cosmix (cosm7x)]

This bug persists in Karmic pre-final. On a HP Mini 2140 Bluetooth is turned on every time the machine boots, irrespectively of the previous state.

[Indian Art (goldfish-aol)]

This bug is still there in Live CD Karmic Koala Final (Released Oct 29, 2009) on my ACER 5920.
:-(

[Indian Art (goldfish-aol)]

This bug is still there in Live CD Lucid Lynx on my ACER 5920.
:-(

Please can someone tell me how I can report this same bug (with the number and all) in Lucid Lynx.

If it is a Kernel regression, how & where can I report it???

[phear (raphael-cohen)]

I have the same problem on my Samsung NC10 using Karmic Koala 9.10 (ubuntu 2.6.31-17-generic).

[oldmankit (oldmankit)]

Same problem: Acert TravelMate 4720. Also wireless automatically comes on, which I don't want either.

Karmic Koala 9.10

[tbal (tbal)]

Same here with Acer Aspire 5920g. Also wireless automatically comes on, which I don't want either.[2]

[HBN (hummad)]

I can confirm that the problem persists with Acer TravelMate 5720 and I just installed Ubuntu 9.10. Both Bluetooth and Wifi come on automatically whenever I boot.

[Indian Art (goldfish-aol)]

This bug is still there in Live CD Lucid Lynx Beta 2 on my ACER 5920.

[Indian Art (goldfish-aol)]

This has finally been resolved with Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat).

I have not tested this on the latest 11.04 version. I am closing this bug.

Thanks for the help.
