The folks at Maemo Integration have created a simple Control Panel applet that lets you control the services that start when your tablet boots up.

Installation:
Open Application Manager => install “maemo-control-service”

Use:
Open Control Panel => Click Services (in “Extras” section)

Works as advertised => Enjoy!

Works great on my 770 with 2008HE to turn off the media scanner, Thanks.

Thanks. Are there any (system) services that are known to drain the battery or take up uneccessary resources? I think I don't need metalayer-crawler, GPS device pairing, since I have an n800, and probably mce since I'm using powelraunch. Too bad I could not turn off the system daemons using the gui. Still nice to have graphical overview.

Well... it depends whether you're using a GPS (BT) with your N800; you'd want GPS device pairing in that case. The only one that really needs axed is metalayer-crawler. Powerlaunch stops mce automatically when it starts, so better to leave mce started as a fallback in case something goes awry with powerlaunch, imho.

Enprocess is accused of using up process time (battery life). It can be an important process for you though. It's part of the mail client (checks for new e-mail?). From what I read it may be caused when you lose connection while it's checking/downloading mail. Seems to be ok to disable if you don't use the built in mail client.

It might have been fixed though, on top of that I don't see it listed.

This one has existed for a long while now, but make sure you don't disable tablet-browser-daemon. I disabled it by accident in the diablo betas and I only figured out the problem by looking at the syslog.

You, too, huh?

First, after installation, Control panel scrolled only to half of Extras, I can kind of figure out the Services on the 1st section. Is that what everybody getting?

This is the list Services started during system boot process: After Hide system service: N800 running Diablo shows the follow with everything checked,

hal
hildon-app manager
icd2
maemo-pan
osso-ipv6
suplistenerd
tablet-browser-daemon
wide-dhcpv6-client

N800/N810 running 2.2007.51-3 shows nothing when Hide system service.

The above are all internal flash boot.

On mmc boot

N800 shows nothing when Hide system service
N810 shows cups mdns vnc-xrdp, and mdns is unchecked.

what is a blue checked vs a white checked?
If I uncheck it from startup, can I later turn the process on when I need it, for example Wlan connectivity? Or one needs reboot?

Upon unhide system services, N810 int flash boot (notDiablo)
app framework (3 of them)
alarm dispatcher
bluetooth tools
battery event proxy
bluetooth connectivity
cups
D-Bus message bus
DNS proxy and DHCP server
DSP loader
Enlightenment Sound
GPS driver
Hildon desktoop
Software upgrades
Kernel events proxy
kernet events proxy
GPS device pairing
App launcher
Machine control entity
mdns
mediaplayer engine
metalayer crawler
multimedia daemon
OBEX server
Internet Connectivity
System UI
System UI
vnc-xrdp
WLAN connectivity
X11 server

800 running Diablo, int flash boot, after unhide system services, shows the above plus
hal
hildon-app manager
icd2
maemo-pan
osso-ipv6
suplistenerd
tablet-browser-daemon
wide-dhcpv6-client

Want to talk about what can be or cannot be unchecked during boot up?

Metalayer crawler, alarm dispatcher, maemo-pan, OBEX server, X11 server

Suggestions? I would research a bit more about the other process, see whether that would make my tablet runs a little longer, say a couple month straight


Tia,
bun

uhh what would i have installed that would give me
Scratchbox remote shell
n800 using pbs clone...deb
booting from mmc

I think the blue is just a checkbox highlighted...?
