TLP is a feature-rich command line utility for Linux, saving laptop battery power without the need to delve deeper into technical details. TLP’s default settings are already optimized for battery life and implement Powertop’s recommendations out of the box. So you may just install it and forget it. Nevertheless TLP is highly customizable to fulfil your specific requirements.

Steps
To disable Bluetooth at startup, open the following file in your preferred text editor (root privilege will be required),
/etc/tlp.conf
For example to use
nano
text editor, your command will be,sudo nanao /etc/tlp.conf
.
Then change,
RESTORE_DEVICE_STATE_ON_STARTUP=0
to
RESTORE_DEVICE_STATE_ON_STARTUP=1
And, also use the following line,
DEVICES_TO_DISABLE_ON_STARTUP="bluetooth"
Don't forget to remove the '#' from the beginning of a line (removing comments).
Example layout
Here is a basic example of my config,
# Restore radio device state (Bluetooth, WiFi, WWAN) from previous shutdown
# on system startup: 0=disable, 1=enable.
# Note: the parameters DEVICES_TO_DISABLE/ENABLE_ON_STARTUP/SHUTDOWN below
# are ignored when this is enabled.
# Default: 0
RESTORE_DEVICE_STATE_ON_STARTUP=1
# Radio devices to disable on startup: bluetooth, nfc, wifi, wwan.
# Separate multiple devices with spaces.
# Default: <none>
#DEVICES_TO_DISABLE_ON_STARTUP="bluetooth nfc wifi wwan"
DEVICES_TO_DISABLE_ON_STARTUP="bluetooth nfc wwan"
Here besides bluetooth
, I've also disabled nfc
and wwan
.
