disable start job vbox.add service - circular_mews - 04-05-2019
Hi,
I've been duckduckgoing and have found no results on how to disable a service that slows down boot up time on my laptop with linux-lite and apparently I don't need it as I'm not using virtualbox. The console shows after:
Started LSB disk temperature monitoring
A start job is running for vbox.add service 5m 20s
and it takes about 3 or 4 minutes for this to run its course.
I did a removal (not complete removal) of any software I could find related to virtualbox in Synaptic, such as virtualbox-guest-utils, virtualbox-guest-x11, and virtualbox-guest-dkms but that didn't help.
I then went to Session and Startup and unticked vboxclient under application startup but that didn't help. I then edited /etc/xdg/autostart/vboxclient.desktop and changed the following line to false
Code:
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=falseApparently it isn't a service that I see under
Code:
service --status-allRe: disable start job vbox.add service - ralphy - 04-05-2019
I did remove the virtualbox packages you mentioned and also purged them but that shouldn't make a difference.
Code:
sudo apt remove --purge virtualbox-guest-utils virtualbox-guest-x11 virtualbox-guest-dkmsIn your case you're looking for services. Simply disable the services and your boot up time will skyrocket. Therefore, you want to disable the vboxadd and vboxadd-service services as follow:
From Terminal:
Code:
sudo systemctl disable vboxadd vboxadd-serviceReboot and ENJOY! ;D
So, users do not necessarily need remove the packages unless (as in your case) don't have a need for them. Disabling the services will be plenty enough.

The correct instructions are in the Linux Lite 4.0 release announcement here in the Forums.

Ralphy and Jerry, thanks! Sorry you had to repeat yourselves. Earlier today I did a search here for "vbox" and it didn't bring up any results, probably due to dial-up or having ublock origin extension enabled. I've disabled it for this site, tried again and this time it brought up many questions with answers concerning the same question. :
