Tune Boot-Up-Manger for better performance of Ubuntu

Ubuntu does not come with a graphical tool to disable services. The Boot-Up-Manager (BUM) is the most comprehensive and user-friendly tool for Ubuntu.

Follow these Steps to Install Boot-Up- Manager

  • Go to Applications > Add and Remove Applications


  • The Add/Remove Applications window is shown. Search for boot in the search text box. Check Boot-Up-Manager and click on OK to install.

  • Click on Apply in confirmation popup. Boot-Up-Manager is installed successfully.


Disable the services for better performance tunning

  • Go to System > Adminstration > BootUp-Manager


  • Boot-Up-Manager window is shown. Check Advanced check box, and select tab Startup and shutdown scripts


Disabling the below listed scripts doesn't disturb your PC
  • ntpdate: a utility that updates the system clock on each reboot.

  • pcmcia: used only with laptops if one has PCMCIA cards.

  • ppp: point-to-point protocol used only if you have a modem. Disabled the built-in modem in my desktop and only use a network interface card.

  • powernowd: Use an AMD processor with Ubuntu and this service does not work with AMD.

  • rsync: a utility that provides fast incremental file transfer if you wish to mirror or back up data.

  • fetchmail: a utility to retrieve and forward mail and act as a gateway to smtp. If you are a Linux groupware client, do not use this utility.

  • postfix: a mail transfer agent similar to sendmail. Use a mail server from my ISP and our company domain.

Reboot the PC and find the difference.
