[Solved] Bluetooth ???

[hawghaven]

Hello All,
I upgraded Debiann11 to Debian12 yesterday, My box does not have any form of Bluetooth on it or in it.
Can I safely remove any Bluetooth software/Firmware from Synaptic Package Manager? without breaking my O/S.
I ran

Code: Select all

$ systemd-analyze blame 

38.766s blueman-mechanism.service came in 1st in the list.

Thanks for any help.

You could disable the Bluetooth service to start with and then see if anything breaks.

I don't think it will break anything.

$ systemctl status blueman-mechanism.services
Unit blueman-mechanism.services.service could not be found.

Failed to disable unit: Unit file blueman-mechanism.services.service does not exist.

If you use standard package managing programs: apt, aptitude or synaptic, there should be not be any problems.

You should not remove the package as that will most likely also remove some task package. But you can systemctl disable --now bluetooth
