Package: general
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I tried turning off bluetooth via the icon in the upper toolbar in Gnome 3 in
Wheezy oldstable, which I run WITH hardware acceleration on PowerMac G5 Quad, a
feature I obtained easily without troubleshooting kernel recompiles in Stable.
It's nouveau on a Quadro FX 4500. :)

Besides that "nudge" or "hint" on improving nouveau on stables and testings,
I'd like to notify that turning off the bluetooth via the feature up top only
disables for the running session. Upon rebooting, it's back on.

This is a request to implement that turning off the bluetooth is remembered for
the respective user.

Thank you

I'm afraid Linux on PowerMacs is pretty much dead now.  There is
certainly no-one on the Debian kernel team looking after the powerpc
architecture or PowerMacs.

The only supported Debian release for powerpc is now jessie (wheezy LTS
only covers x86 and ARM; stretch doesn't include powerpc).

This is presumably not an architecture-specific problem, and I seem to
remember seeing it myself at one time.  But it is unlikely to be fixed
in wheezy now.  If the problem still exists in jessie, then please
report the bug against 'src:gnome-bluetooth' (I think that's the right
package) rather than 'general'.

Ben.

The program is absolutely right; therefore, the computer must be wrong.
