Deactivate permanently bluetooth in Mint 12 RC

[m4daredsun]

I would like to prevent the bluetooth service to start at startup. In previous Mint releases, it was as simple as opening the startup manager and deactivating it. In Mint 12 RC, the bluetooth entry in the startup manager is gone.

How can I deactivate it?
And the 2nd question which will come next: how to hide the bluetooth icon in the top Gnome3 panel? Need to dig into some extension-related stuff?

Thanx

Prevent Bluetooth from running at startup

Code: Select all

sudo gedit /etc/rc.local

Just above the line "exit 0", add this line:

Code: Select all

rfkill block bluetooth

Save, quit, takes effect next startup.

Hide Bluetooth icon from top panel

Download the attached zip file and move the extracted folder to /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/

A "Nobluetooth extension" will then appear in the program "Advanced Settings" in the section "Shell extensions". Turn it on and the icon disappears.

You should use startup applications, not startup manager. But I found two bluetooth manager in startup application.

You can't by default see and turn off bluetooth in startup applications in Gnome 3, only programs and services specific to your user session.
