RNBO - raspberry pi - apt-get on startup

Hey all!

I'm working with my first raspberry pi RNBO patch, and after the patch is exported and the device boots, it is very slow because the machine seems to be doing a software update (apt-get is top in top). This happens every time power is cycled. I've disabled automatic updating and even the daily apt updates.

I think the rnbo software is triggering the apt-get at startup, is there anyway to disable this? I do not want to the system to update itself without my knowledge.

the rnbo software doesn't apt-get install without you triggering it but the rnbo-update-service does request an updated list of packages (just the list, not actually installing anything) when it starts up or when you trigger an update. You could uninstall that and then manually apt-get install rnbooscquery in the future when you want to upgrade. It used to be that you'd lose your data if you did that but recent releases have made it so that you can recover exports etc after you upgrade your runner.

Yes you're right! It was the update service. I masked it with systemd and now it doesn't start up every time.
