Bug ID: 57526 Summary: Bluetooth driver cannot be disabled. Product: Wine Version: 10.0-rc1 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: hibbsncc1701@gmail.com Distribution: ---
Sidenote: Neither bluetoothapis, bthprops.cpl, or winebth.sys are listed in the bugzilla component list.
When the host system does not have bluez installed (as it lacks a bluetooth controller), wine will spam dbus errors for a non-existent bluez service to the console during start up.
Attempting to disable the message by setting bluetoothapis to disabled in the libraries tab of winecfg does nothing. Disabling the driver causes wine to complain that it cannot load the driver on each startup.
Even for a system with bluez installed, it would be nice to have some option that could disable this support when it's not needed. As bluetooth snooping can be a method of privacy invasion, and a misbehaving app could cause issues with the native apps running on the host.
UsefulRegistryKey maybe? A more proper option would be a checkbox in winecfg, or the stubbed cpl.
