Ubuntu One is great, but when I am on battery power it just drains a lot. So what I need is, disable Ubuntu One service at startup. I can start it any time I like. But the problem is Ubuntu One is a hidden service. So let's unlock all the startup hidden services.
Open your terminal and fire up the following command:
$ sudo sed -i "s/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/g" /etc/xdg/autostart/*.desktop
Now open your "Startup Applications" GUI and you will be able to see a lot of things including Ubuntu One. Uncheck to make it disabled at startup. Enjoy :)
Use the follwing command to start or stop or to get more help later on for Ubuntu One:
$ u1sdtool --start
$ u1sdtool --quit
$ u1sdtool --help
Two other services I need on my system, but don’t want them to start unless I require them. They are running MySql and Apache.
To stop mysql from starting on boot:
To stop mysql from starting on boot:
sudo vim /etc/init/mysql.conf
# Comment out the following line
start on runlevel [2345]
To stop apache2 from starting on boot:
sudo update-rc.d -f apache2 remove
To enable apache2 on startup
sudo update-rc.d -f apache2 defaults
