brent Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 The Issue We want to disable snapd service on system startup/prevent snapd service startup automatically on system boot on Ubuntu or remove Snap completely. 1 Disable snap services 1.1 Bring up the terminal or login via SSH 1.2 Execute following commands to disable snap services sudo systemctl disable snapd.service sudo systemctl disable snapd.socket sudo systemctl disable snapd.seeded sudo systemctl disable snapd.snap-repair.timer 1.3 Restart the system sudo reboot 1.4 Now the snap service will not start on system startup 2 Removing Snap To uninstall snap (If necessary), we need to make sure snap is not used at all. If we want to uninstall/remove snap just follow the below steps 2.1 List all snaps snap list 2.2 If there is any installed snap pckage e.g. bashtop, remove all of them one by one sudo snap remove bashtop 2.3 Find the snap core service directory ID df From the output, under the “Mounted on” column, find the ones with “/snap/core/xxxx” 2.4 Unmount the snap core service sudo umount /snap/core/xxxx 2.5 Remove all snapd package sudo apt purge snapd 2.6 Remove all directories (If necessary), be careful with the rm command, we will lose data if done incorrectly rm -rf ~/snap sudo rm -rf /snap sudo rm -rf /var/snap sudo rm -rf /var/lib/snapd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
