Re: Killing bluetooth dead

Just replying here in case it helps others in the future.  I've managed
to resolve my problem by disabling Bluetooth in the BIOS/UEFI config.

I have identical results here.  Thanks for the tip on finding where
those kinds of messages come from - I'm sure it will be useful for
troubleshooting future problems.

I don't have either of those on the system in question:

$ ls /etc/bluetooth
ls: cannot access '/etc/bluetooth': No such file or directory
$ ls /etc/default/bluetooth
ls: cannot access '/etc/default/bluetooth': No such file or directory

Strange that it was trying to load bluetooth modules when so much of the
bluetooth ecosystem doesn't seem to be installed, but, *shrug*.
