Disable Start-up Applications

Disable Start-up Applications

I followed this tutorial on youtube to disable start-up applications in Ubuntu Sever 13.10. What happened is all unchecked apps are being checked again when I close then open the box! What should I do to keep them unchecked?

sysv-rc-conf is the tool you want:

sudo apt-get install sysv-rc-conf

You have to run it as root:

sudo sysv-rc-conf

then use the arrow keys to navigate, spacebar to select, q to quit. Be sure you know what you are doing.

PS: the video you posted is for ubuntu desktop (unity). You didn't install X on your server, just for that, right?
