Services to stop on a thin client?
With the fixes for share/ltsp/init-ltsp.d/60-edu-client in place, the
amount of data downloaded for a thin client boot is down to around 140
MiB, which is still a bit high.
There are some other services we should consider to disable on thin
clients:
anacron
cron
I suspect these are still active to ensure sitesummary-client is
reporting the client status regularly. Do we need both?
bluetooth
avahi-daemon
minidlna
No idea why these are active. Something to disable?
Any of you know if any of these services are needed on thin clients?
I suspect not. Perhaps some of them should be disabled in the
ltsp-client-core package instead?
Other candidates are pulseaudio and polkitd, but I suspect both are
needed also no thin clients.
After disabling cron, anacron, bluetooth, avahi-daemon and minidlna,
the amount transfered to boot a thin client is down to 120 MiB
received and 4 MiB sent, which is better but still quite a long way
from what we had in 2007.
