Turning off unwanted services

[lKingjr]

How do I turn off unwanted services in Fluxbox? I don't use Bluetooth devices or print etc seeing I use it in VirtualBox and have no need for them.

thanks

If rcconf is available for that version of Mint, you can install that and get a nice screen that lets you turn off services on startup

Code: Select all

apt search rcconf
i   rcconf                          - Debian Runlevel configuration tool

You could always uninstall the applications you are not using. Unfortunately Mint, like Ubuntu embeds smb/cifs into their file system as the default method of sharing folders, in my mind an unnecessary complication within a Linux desktop, unless I actually want to connect to and share windows files rather than just drop them into the cloud or otherwise connect to them via a usb device

I don't agree with the conclusion of that minimal comparison, in fact I think dropbox is the better choice for many
