AFAIK, bluetooth is the same across all flavours, have a look at

to see if that successfully blacklists it for you.
I didn't try - I don't actually want to 'blacklist' as I want to be able
to turn it on from time to time. Blacklist would give me the same as
'rfkill block bluetooth' did in the .profile file. What I have now
discovered comes from carefully looking at the source code for
gnome-control-center bluetooth and found that it uses rfkill - though
through changing access to the /dev/rfkill file.
I now have the following notes:
the command 'rfkill block bluetooth' stops bluetooth
Can put in the ~/.profile file
But note that bluetooth cannot then be started by any method without
commenting the above out, and re-booting.
HOWEVER if the above command is put into /etc/rc.local then 'sudo rfkill
unblock bluetooth' will do a proper restart, and restart will also take
place from the Bluetooth icon, or the Bluetooth settings application.
Feel free to put in any Ubuntu wiki or notes.
Regards, Barry.
