Hi Everybody, This is a problem that keeps bothering me. I have a HP Laptop that I installed Mint 17 a few months ago. When I turn on my laptop, I scan it for open ports and find stuff like cups, smbd, avahi-daemon.. I have disabled them with service and removed them from start up with update-rc.d -f remove. But when I restart my computer, they are back. I have a desktop with Ubuntu 12.04 that I did this with and it was fine. I doubt that Mint 17 which is suppose to be like Ubuntu 14.04, should be having this trouble. Does anyone have a thought? -- Stephen Melheim 602-400-7707 SMelheim85@gmail.com
