My Bluetooth audio receiver which had previously been paired can still control VLC, or any other compatible media player with a Pause/Play button.

2020-06-29 04:49:33 Old Noob description Current behavior: In gnome-control-center I see the Bluetooth slider is set to OFF and the status shows "Bluetooth Turned Off". My Bluetooth audio receiver which had previously been paired can still control VLC, or any other compatible media player with a Pause/Play button. If no compatible app is running then an error icon appears.[0] Expected behavior: when gnome-control-center Bluetooth shows Disabled, then no bluetooth device should be able to communicate with the computer. Security: This is way out of my wheelhouse, but if this goes beyond my use case, could this have security implications? Just the fact that the bluetooth subsystem is functional when the UI says it is not, seems like a bad sign, correct? EDIT: as a next step, when I enabled Bluetooth in gnome-control-center I see the device's status as "Disconnected" and the device does not appear as a possible sound output device in Sound settings. In this Bluetooth enabled state, the pause/play button still works. When I disable all Bluetooth, the pause/play button still works.

My Bluetooth audio receiver which had previously been paired can still control VLC, or any other compatible media player with a Pause/Play button. If no compatible app is running then an error icon appears.[0] Expected behavior: when gnome-control-center Bluetooth shows Disabled, then no bluetooth device should be able to communicate with the computer. Security: This is way out of my wheelhouse, but if this goes beyond my use case, could this have security implications? Just the fact that the bluetooth subsystem is functional when the UI says it is not, seems like a bad sign, correct? EDIT: as a next step, when I enabled Bluetooth in gnome-control-center I see the device's status as "Disconnected" and the device does not appear as a possible sound output device in Sound settings. In this Bluetooth enabled state, the pause/play button still works. When I disable all Bluetooth, the pause/play button still works. EDIT2: I'm not sure what the gnome-control-center Bluetooth On/Off slider is supposed to do, but while gnome-control-center Bluetooth shows disabled the service is still running. $ service bluetooth status  bluetooth.service - Bluetooth service      Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/bluetooth.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)      Active: active (running) since Fri 2020-06-26 10:09:48 PDT; 2 days ago        Docs: man:bluetoothd(8)    Main PID: 935 (bluetoothd)      Status: "Running"       Tasks: 1 (limit: 38343)      Memory: 3.0M      CGroup: /system.slice/bluetooth.service              └─935 /usr/lib/bluetooth/bluetoothd Jun 26 10:09:48 nyuk bluetoothd[935]: Bluetooth daemon 5.53 Jun 26 10:09:48 nyuk systemd[1]: Started Bluetooth service.
