I am a novice at Linux. This is my first installation of Ubuntu MATE. If you have advice, or an answer to my question, please give a full explanation, so that I may understand it. Please do not omit any steps in the instructions, or I will probably not be able to complete them. Thank you.
Ubuntu MATE 16.04 64-bit laptop.
If I turn the wireless card off, using the menu method, it turns itself back on, after I restart Ubuntu MATE. Why is it not staying off?
The same is true of Bluetooth, it will not remember the state that I put it in. Bluetooth also has another problem, that I see in Ubuntu MATE 16.04, but not in Ubuntu vanilla: it hides the Bluetooth status! That is not good security, to leave the most vunerable, unencrypted, and novice friendly networking technology turned on and hidden from from view by default.
