[SOLVED] How do I disable enp0s3?

I am trying to remove unwanted services from boot, specifically enp0s3 which I don't use as I don't have a ethernet card.
This is my start up time analysis:
$ systemd-analyze blame

626ms man-db.service
375ms systemd-journal-flush.service

From the journal I see this - Timed out waiting for device sys-subsystem-net-devices-enp0s3.device.

As I don't have ethernet can I turn it off? I saw this https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=158885 which is almost the opposite of my issue so I tried
systemctl disable dhcpcd
(I'm unsure if that is wise or even relevant) but still the device is trying to start and I don't know why
$ systemctl status dhcpcd

I don't have a bios (have a macbook) - I am booting EFI. I could pass a kernel parameter but it is same issue - I need to know what module to disable. Or how to disable the driver.

[SOLVED]How can I disable ehci_hcd kernel module?

How can I disable ehci_hcd kernel module loading?
I have up to date archlinux.
I tried add 'modprobe -r ehci_hcd' to '/etc/rc.local' but this broke net-profiles - ppp connection at bootup(I have USB modem (which of course work with uhci_hcd module) connected).
I also tried with '/etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf' and 'blacklist ehci_hcd' but ehci_hcd still loading at bootup.

Thanks, but:

2) this not work also:

How can I disable the assistive touch programmatically ? This is like a bug. Though the Guided access is enabled a user can take screenshot of my application content. How can I solve this ? any idea ....

Question: Do you think the response from the support staff is correct? I mean, surely, I can't be the only CF user on a shared box whose other users need to modify the date and time within their applications. Even if they do it at the application level for their domain, surely it wouldn't affect mine, would it? That was what was implied by the support people, but I have a feeling they are way off, or covering for some goof-up on their end. I struggled like hell yesterday trying to get this to work and I did not get very far at all.
I found an interesting tutorial here which does a comparison of time zones and, theoretically, this might do the trick. But if what the guy told me was nonsense then I won't bother with it. For the record, our calendar has been working fine for about a week now.

How to completely disable "Touchsmart OS software" Slows & interfers

How to completely disable "Touchsmart OS software" What a Hassle it slows & interferes Windows & applications.
I can't find any information how to completely disable this software. I can't imagine anyone likes it. It just slows my computer & makes my other programs want to crash. It wastes at least 2 to 5 minutes every single startup having to shut it down manually.
I want it off my machine & I bet I am not the only one. It reminds me of the old Windows over Dos mess.

Brilliant1, welcome to the forum.
When requesting help you should always include the make/model of the computer and/or monitor. This information is necessary for us to review the specifications of them.
I believe that you can go into the Control Panel under "Pen and Touch". You would uncheck the box "Use finger as input device" (some such words).
I found this in another thread:
Per HP Technical Support: "Hp TouchScreen Configuration" has been replaced by "Pen and Touch." More recent models would have "Pen and Touch," older models would have "HP TouchScreen Configuration." The "Configuration" option does not appear on any TouchSmart 610 series all-in-one computers. So to turn off the finger-operated TouchScreen one would use whichever appears on the Control Panel of the computer in question.

How do I disable the plugin check at Firefox Version 18 or higher startup?

This thread carries on from a discussion about How do I disable the plugin check at Firefox startup? As clearly Tylerdowner did not like my previous message and so would like me to obviously start a whole new thread to find out what’s going on.
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/938821
Tyler: I am still looking for support and so are the other 83 people who have this problem. Hence why I am here, not to have to start another thread, not to have a go at you or just to run around further to get a clear, straight forward answer. I am now back to running Version 12 (which, has not solved the problem), with up-to-date plugins which are all supported.
Don’t fob us off, PLEASE HELP. Unless I am very much mistaken, this is the place we are meant to find help, right? Not to be completely blown off because somebody says something you don’t like. Perhaps someone better suited to this will help. I’ll follow on from then with MY problem from Tyler’s final comment as it is highly relevant:
Tylerdowner: Rumor Control, if you are running Firefox 18 with up to date plugins, then you are having a different problem than this thread is about. This is for Firefox 3.6 users who have old plugins, not those with updated software.

I should also add this info for all to see clear as part of my question (can be seen in More system details too):
I liked that version, was the first ever FireFox browser I tried and because of it made it my number 1 browser. There have been a heck of a lot from 3.6 to 18 though I think we’d all agree. Progress can and often is messy, but worth it.
Which is fine except mine, a different version, up-to-date plugins – and I’ve still same problem as these guys. It’s exactly the same even for me who has updated: How do we get rid of the Plugin Check Screen every time we start FireFox? I know I am up-to-date – as it tells me every single time!
I agree everyone should be up-to-date with the software and this may very well be the case that solves a lot of people with lower versions – yet I can say I updated from version 12 to the latest 18, spent the time getting half a dozen different updates as it wanted (all of which are supported according to the link you provided) plugins and yet I am still having the same problem as users with 3.6 and older plugins! Went back to version 12.0 and I am getting the problem since installing version 18.
Therefore from the fact I’m still getting the popup every time telling me everything is updated and safe, which is lovely to know, still doesn’t change the fact it won’t go away! Not a major problem but it is getting tedious now every single time.
Like I say I am willing to wait and see if this gets fixed anyway which to be fair, FireFox seem to do a lot better than the competition. If it doesn’t though I’d still rather go back to an older version just to be rid of it! But not even that is now working to be gone of it! It’s gotten that ridiculous for me now too!

How do I disable Plugin Check?

How do I disable this new "feature?"
* It opens up a new tab on startup that I don't want.
* The check doesn't even work half the time.
* Most of the plugins it finds are "unknown" (despite the fact that I know where every one of them came from!)
* It doesn't register that I've already updated all the plugins that it can find
* And in case anybody from this plugin check project is reading this, please, ''please'' add in a way to stop this check from running on startup. I know you want to help, but you're just annoying the userbase.

I had no luck with other alleged solutions, and one I tried caused Adobe Flash Player to screw up (as others have reported elsewhere). Here’s what I did to help alleviate (not solve) the Plugin Check problem:
1. Type “about:config” (without quotes) in your web address box and hit return. This should take you to a (not-so-secret) Firefox configuration page that lists the many Firefox settings.
2. If you first get a warning message, click the "I'll be careful, I promise!" button. Do be careful not to mess up any settings unintentionally. (The worst scenario might be that you have to re-install Firefox—do you have your preferred Firefox version [e.g., 3.6] setup file saved somewhere? You may want to download it first, to be safe.)
3. Once on the about:config page, in the “Filter” box at the top type “plugins.update” (again, no quotes). This should reduce the visible list down to only two (or so) settings. (Don’t worry--doing this does not change or remove anything, just makes the list you see more manageable. The full list will still be there if you remove the filter.)
4. Double-click on the “plugins.update.url” setting line to change the address “https://www.mozilla.com/%LOCALE%/plugincheck/” to anything else you want, for example “http://www.google.com”, or “http://my.ebay.com”, or your homepage address. Then exit Firefox (there is no "save" action needed).
Now when you start Firefox again you will have two tabs, one with your homepage and one with that other address in place of the Plugin Check page. This doesn’t solve the problem, but at least you do not have to look at the annoying Plugins Check page. (You can always put the original address back in the about:config page if you do want to see the Plugin Check page.) If you make the address your homepage, you’ll have two homepage tabs and can ignore or delete the second one.
Let’s hope a real solution (for FF 3.6 users) is found soon. I suspect that Mozilla wants everyone to switch to Firefox 4, which may be the real answer. Annoying.

How can I disable the Emergency Calls feature.

It is my understanding as well that it can't be, due to federal laws that 911 call must be available.

How can I disable the event sound played when a new window is opened?

When Firefox starts, or when a new window is opened there is an annoying click.
How can I disable this?
The only way I have been able to stop it is by disabling all event sounds from the control panel but I'd rather just disable this particular sound.

No, it's Windows XP. Hmmm, I don't know! I only started noticing it recently and as far as I remember, the only new add on is NoScript. I found the event that was being triggered (Start Connection) and disabled the sound in Windows. So the problem is solved in that I don't have the annoying sound ... but don't know why it started and hope nothing sinister is going on.

How can I disable the HP Updates Agent from running?

HP pavilion D4100Y
Windows XP SP2 or 3 (not sure)
No error message
No recent changes
Problem: The program "Updates from HP Agent" runs frequently and on no particular schedule, certainly not one I chose. It takes over my computer for hours and uses most of the CPU, fluctuating from 13% to 87% to 1 etc.3% to 6%, etc. The computer hangs and I cannot use it for anything else. On the HP Updates screen, I set the updates to "NEVER" but that didn't work. The programs still run. On the Windows Task Manager window the program is called "Updates from HP Agent".
I cannot find anything about this problem in the support database.

How do I disable call waiting when sending a FAX on a Photosmart C410a All-in-One?

When sending a FAX from my computer, I added *70 to the dialing prefix to disable Call Waiting. The problem appears to be that either my C410a does not recognize the * or perhaps I must add a pause after the *70. The user guide says to hit the up arrow to insert a pause but I think that might only work for FAXes that are dialed from the All-in-One, not the computer. In another place in the User Guide, it instructs to hit asterisk twice ** to get a pause. When dialing from the computer, if I hit ** I get ** not a pause. (I use Comcast and they do not give a new dial tone after hitting *70 so I don't think the pause is necessary.)
If I remove the *70 from the dialing sequence on the computer, the FAX goes right through but a Call Waiting signal might stop the FAX.
Anyone know how to include *70 for computer dialing?

Hello LCHutton, I hope you are well
I read your post about your attempts to disable call waiting when sending a fax. I would suggest looking in the fax menu on the printer and turning off the ECM (Error Correction Mode), and also changing the Fax Speed to slow.
I hope either of those steps help you!
If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see what their options are for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions: click here.
Also, I have found this thread that is related to your scenario that might help you!
