=Turn off Bluetooth by default in Ubuntu 14.04=
  −
Bluetooth is always on at each boot in Ubuntu laptops. This is not good, from both power saving and security purpose. Moreover, we hardly use Bluetooth, so why should have Bluetooth enabled by default? While one can turn off Bluetooth in one click in Ubuntu, doing it in each session is a repetitive and frustrating task. Simpler solution is to deactivate Bluetooth at start up in Ubuntu.
  −
<br>
  −
* Open a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and and use the following command
  −
'''sudo gedit /etc/rc.local'''<br>
  −
* enter password and press '''Enter'''.
  −
* It will open the rc.local file. Just add the following line just before exit 0.
  −
'''rfkill block bluetooth'''. <br>
  −
* Altogether, your rc.local file look like this:
  −
[[file:rfkill_Bluetooth.png | 500px]] <br>
  −
* '''Save''' the file by clicking on save icon on top.
  −
''Note:Restart the computer and you should see that Bluetooth has been disabled. Of course you can turn it on when required by the Bluetooth indicator on the top panel.
