This works. There are a lot of examples out there that don’t work. I found that an additional edit (bottom) made all the difference. These are the typical changes you’ll find online. https://gist.github.com/vancluever/d34b41eb77e6d077887c But here is the change that made all the difference for me. Edit all the tracker files and change X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled to False. re. sudo vi /etc/xdg/autostart/tracker-miner-apps.desktop X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=false

I have used rc.local for years to setup an ssh reverse tunnel on boot under Debian up until Stretch. Now like many others I imagine, I’ve had to convert to systemd. I read everything I could about the choice for deprecating rc.local for systemd. I can say that systemd may be powerful, but systemd’s complexity entails a huge learning-curve for...

How to prevent MariaDB from automatically starting up on a desktop is not the same as prior Mysql versions. Instead of using the remove from rc method, you use systemd (systemctl).

Three (3) steps to completely eliminate IPV6 on your system. Step 3 applies only if you are using SSH in daemon mode (on a server). The following should work for all Debian. Step 1 Step 2 Step 3
To disable IPv6 on all interfaces system wide sudo vi /etc/sysctl.conf add this line net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1 Or To disable IPv6 on an interface only net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6 = 1 net.ipv6.conf.eth0.disable_ipv6 = 1 sudo sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.conf or reboot
The problem is how to create an img of a disk (or storage of any kind) while not saving the entire unused space – shrink empty disk space with dd.
