Disabling the oneconf service in Ubuntu

Oneconf was eating up a lot of memory on my system. But if you purge the oneconf package it also removes the ubuntu-desktop and software-center package. And I wanted to keep those. Especially ubuntu-desktop.

David Anderson had a nice post about this on the Ubuntu launchpad. He suggested to do the following:

sudo chmod a-x /usr/share/<wbr>oneconf/<wbr>oneconf-<wbr>service
sudo chmod a-x /usr/share/<wbr>oneconf/<wbr>oneconf-<wbr>query
sudo chmod a-x /usr/share/<wbr>oneconf/<wbr>oneconf-<wbr>update

So I did and it works great. No more oneconf service and I didn’t notice any other problems (yet).
