If Ubuntu is your default workstation and most of the programs and services installed are running by default when you startup your computer, then sooner than later your computer performance will suffer. Because the more programs or services running in the background, the slower it becomes.

This is great, except that BUM doesn't w ork w ith scripts that have been converted to upstart jobs (i.e. most of them in Lucid, and eventually, all of them). Under these circumstances, it's not only impotent, it's also misleading. Try it and see. (Just one other thing w hy w ould you start synaptic this w ay, instead of using the menu item under System -> Administration??) Reply

I just w ant others to know that there are more than one w ays to start programs in Ubuntu. You could use the menu or Run Application dialog box. BUM doesn't w ork w ith all scripts or fixes all startup and shutdow n scripts. It's merely a tool for new bie w ho w ants an easy w ay to stop unnecessary services from running in Ubuntu (run-levels) Reply

fair enough about alternative w ays to start stuff :) re. BUM my point w as that, in addition to not actually w orking for upstart jobs, it gives the impression that it does. try disabling, say, MySQL or SSH this w ay. Everything appears to w ork as desired, except that the services continue to start exactly as they did before :( (this is a tw o-part problem: 1, upstart doesn't have a good w ay to manage this at all you have to manually comment out or adjust the start conditions in the upstart jobs; and 2, many of the converted jobs in Lucid still maintain a SysV script in /etc/init.d. It's not BUM's job to deal w ith these issues, but: 1, it should report the situation more accurately; and 2, w ith the conversion of so much stuff to upstart on Lucid, since the release of 10.04, BUM just became about 30% as useful as it w as before) Reply
