This holds certain attributes that systemd can use to locate and launch the program, and to define some of its behavior. We need to create a unit file for our new service, but it is prudent to make sure none of the existing unit files have the name we want to give our new service. sudo systemctl list-unit-files --type-service >> Howell : $ sudo systemctl list-unit-files --type-service [sudo] password for bill: systemctl: unrecognized option '--type-service' $ sudo systemctl list-unit-files >"$d_temp""systemctl list-unit-files.txt" >> 317 unit files listed : [mount, path, service, socket, target, timer] types >> no indication of firewire (??) Verifying the Service After manually starting the service or after rebooting the computer, we can verify that our service is running correctly. sudo systemctl status htg.service Stopping and Disabling the Service If you need to stop the service, you can do so with this command: sudo systemctl stop htg.service This stops the service, but it doesn’t prevent it from restarting next time the computer is rebooted. To stop the service being launched at startup, you need to disable it: sudo systemctl disable htg.service If the service is running, this command doesn’t stop it. It simply tells systemd not to launch the service at the next reboot. If you want to stop the service and prevent it from launching at startup, use both commands. 08********08 21May2021 search "LibeOffice Calc and time lags" cell selection in LibreCalc is [dysfunctional jerky, slow, doing cell moves] other processes may be [interfer, slow]ing +-----+ https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?p=426396https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?p=426396 [Solved] Calc lags for 5 seconds after "copy". Re: Calc lags for 5 seconds after "copy". Postby John_Ha » Thu Sep 07, 2017 11:46 am Are you running a clipboard manager - they often interfere with AOO copy and paste. Start the PC in SAFE MODE (google it or check help) as this stops all such programs starting. Does it now do it? Re: Calc lags for 5 seconds after "copy". Postby thelostraver1 » Thu Sep 07, 2017 11:10 pm Yes I am running a clipboard manager "Ditto". I found the problem. I have a program that I do not use called "Bluestacks". It's used for emulating an Android tablet. It automatically loads at bootup. I disabled it, and the problem is fixed. >> Howell - what processes do I have?

I would guess that bioset stand for "Block layer IO scheduler ...something". The links already provided in previous comments will explain it in more details. But here is a full picture of the Linux IO subsystem.

It starts with a parent process of 2. It encyrpts all internal communication. Previously, I caught hacker on my serial terminal. After digging around it seems that I had been compromised by several items. Maybe windigo and ebuny. Trojanish type. I can connect to the internet with low priv user, root connects to keyserver, and soon I have lots of dns/udp processes and kernel sockets open up. This guy loves communication with udp packets to its primary servers. Just letting you know my experience. Also if you are connecting to servers, you should remove all your local private keys and update your server keys. It spreads by via ssh. Recommend everyone install ids, auditd, and configure their firefox really well. It has been a learning curve for me. answered Feb 16 '17 at 20:40 Wesley Davidson crypto https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=265536 karlchen, Joined: Sat Dec 31, 2011 7:21 am, Location: Germany Re: What is this?
