I just upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10, and I noticed my laptop now takes about 2 minutes longer to boot up. I'm a linux newb, but following the advice I have found thus far online, I ran dmesg and I see the following:


[ 19.101598] type=1505 audit(1226119479.352:3): operation="profile_load" name="/usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-pdf" name2="default" pid=4246

[ 91.087809] ACPI: \_SB_.PCI0.FNC2.IDE1.ODD1: found ejectable bay


There are obviously a lot more things, but that one had the largest gap in timestamp. I look in the package manager, and I have 2.4.4 installed, not this 2.4.2. I can't find any mention to this anywhere in the package manager. This might have been something I manually installed when trying to get my Sprint EVDO card working, i just don't remember. Any ideas on how to get that thing out of there? Thanks in advance!

Guess this got moved to the Installation & Upgrades, even though I don't think that is the sole place this thread could exist. Can nobody tell me how to remove something from loading at startup for Ubuntu?

Thanks in advance.
