Disabling bluetooth in KDE GUI does not power off USB dongle
Last modified: 2024-07-01 04:41:22 UTC
I have a bluetooth USB dongle with a LED indicator which is blinking slowly when it's active. If I disable it via KDE desktop applet by unchecking "Enable Bluetooth" checkbox, all bluetooth devices are disconnected, but dongle itself stays flashing, even when PC is shut down or put into suspend mode. This is very annoying behavior, as it lights up the room in the night. However, if you go to bluetooth settings window, and uncheck the 'Enabled' checkbox for a specific bluetooth adapter, it goes down completely, no LED blinking. The applet checkbox used to bring it down long ago, but it got broken at some point.
