Heyyy! Thanks for reading my post! I've been trying to get figure this out since June. How do I save some battery life, and disable bluetooth on startup? ...What does the variable AutoEnable do? It's in the Ubuntu file /etc/bluetooth/main.conf, and I'm curious if I turn it from true to false, what will happen... Anyone know?

Specifically, will it make the default state of my laptop's Bluetooth off, instead of on? Would it do anything else?

For reference, the code in the file reads:

# AutoEnable defines option to enable all controllers when they are found.
# This includes adapters present on start as well as adapters that are plugged 
# in later on. Defaults to "true"
AutoEnable=true

Thanks for your help!!!

I haven't tried changing the true to false or anything, except asking this question on StackOverflow. I expect there's a small chance I'll break something and will have to reinstall a new image of Ubuntu if I'm unlucky.

Avoid changing files if you don't know what they do. You can easily disable the Bluetooth service by running the command below:

sudo systemctl disable bluetooth.service
