Public bug reported:
On Ubuntu 26.04 LTS, Bluetooth cannot remain turned off.
When I turn Bluetooth off using either GNOME Quick Settings or Settings,
it turns off briefly but then automatically turns itself back on.
The Bluetooth controller confirms this behavior: immediately after
turning it off, bluetoothctl show reports:
Powered: no
PowerState: off
After a short time, without any user action, it changes back to:
Powered: yes
PowerState: on
The Bluetooth adapter is a MediaTek device, USB ID 0e8d:e025, on a
Lenovo ThinkPad P16s Gen 4 AMD.
The kernel log also showed errors during the Bluetooth power-off
sequence, including:
Bluetooth: hci0: command 0x2039 tx timeout
Bluetooth: hci0: failed to reset (-19)
Bluetooth: hci0: Error when powering off device on rfkill (-110)
Expected behavior: When Bluetooth is turned off in GNOME Quick Settings
or Settings, it should remain off until the user turns it on again.
Actual behavior: Bluetooth turns itself back on automatically after
being turned off.
This occurs consistently after a fresh installation of Ubuntu 26.04 LTS.
