Hi, open a terminal and write this:

gksudo gedit /etc/rc.local

Then, write after "Exit 0":

rfkill block bluetooth

So, your /etc/rc.local should be like this:

#!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
# Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other
# value on error.
#
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bits.
#
# By default this script does nothing.

rfkill block bluetooth

exit 0

Hi, Paolo

Thanks for the quickly answer
Now when I turn on my netbook, the bluetooth is off.
But I can manually turn on
That help me for the time until this error is corrected thoroughly from Bluetooth-setting.

Thanks again and goodbye
