Are you using Desktop or Lite

If Desktop:
Press the bluetooth icon try both left and right and press disable bluetooth or something similar

else:
I can’t help

Bit late now but one way to disable bluetooth is in /boot/config.txt

Code: Select all

dtoverlay=disable-bt

Doing that now (editing on a different computer) may still help in an optimistic sort of way.

I have the desktop version but it's on remote site and VLC ports currently inaccessible

I tried to add

Code: Select all

dtoverlay=disable-bt

From the beginning, but I geuess I did a big mistake when then I tried to follow this guide https://scribles.net/disabling-bluetoot ... pberry-pi/
steps below:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get purge bluez -y
sudo apt-get autoremove -y

now, when I try to re-install or even upgrade my Pi, it's just crash

Code: Select all

This seems reasonably up to date https://linuxhint.com/apt_get_fix_missi ... _packages/

I just checked on my system, using dtoverlay=disable-bt ends up with no bluetooth services running so the only overhead is disc space, its not worth trying to uninstall.

I finally found the reason for crashes! it was the power supply
it's raspberry pi officially power supply that use to work good for the last 3 months - but anyway, this was the problem cause these crashes!

Thanks everyone
