Problem:

When you boot your Ubuntu installation, a lot of scripts are started. A lot of scripts are superfluous. But how to disable the ones you don't need?

Solution:

  • Install rcconf

    • $ sudo aptitude install rcconf

  • Disable the service by toggling the service using the "space bar".

    • $ sudo rcconf
