Disable peridocal apt checks (for performance increase)

Hi all!

I have some troubles with my little poor arm box. It has only around 250 BogoMIPS (resulting from a 400MHz CPU and 128MB RAM).

BogoMips (from "bogus" and MIPS) is an unscientific measurement of CPU speed made by the Linux kernel when it boots to calibrate an internal busy-loop.[1] An oft-quoted definition of the term is "the number of million times per second a processor can do absolutely nothing".

I figured out that omv periodical does apt-checks:

Open the OpenMediaVault WebGUI. Updates are listed in the section System > Update Manager. A cron job automatically checks for new updates once a day.

I added a picture where you can see the apt-check and how it affects the speed: From 20MB/s to less than 1MB/s

There's a way to do the updates check's only manual? How can I do this?
And are there other things going heavy on cpu?

You can do this using the following CLI command:

Code

# update-rc.d cron-apt remove

Thanks, I did it!

Output:

perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
    LANGUAGE = "en_US:en",
    LC_ALL = (unset),
    LC_PAPER = "de_DE.UTF-8",
    LC_ADDRESS = "de_DE.UTF-8",
    LC_MONETARY = "de_DE.UTF-8",
    LC_NUMERIC = "de_DE.UTF-8",

    LC_MEASUREMENT = "de_DE.UTF-8",
    LC_NAME = "de_DE.UTF-8",
    LANG = "en_US.UTF-8"
    are supported and installed on your system.

But most important is this line I guess:
