   Why are you obsessed with removing everything? I believe this is the root of your problem - besides maybe a hardware issue. Is the system too slow? I bet not - why not just leave a default crunchbang install and see how that goes. Stop removing stuff because you are actually making it way harder to figure out what is wrong by introducing way too many variables into the situation.
   
   It sound to me like you are obsessing on this stuff to avoid your real work but then you justify it by saying, this somehow contributes to your real work. Clearly, the benefits are not paying off it you have to keep reinstalling your os.
   
   Live-config appears to be "live-config contains the scripts that configure a Debian Live system during
   the boot process (late userspace)."
   
   That doesn't sound like something you would want to remove.anacron/cron is the service that runs scheduled tasks. You can use it in awesome ways and the OS probably uses it for log rotation or other stuff that needs to happen on schedule.
   
   Off topic - are you going to the party tonight?

   Valid points. I am stopping the removing right now. :) It definitely does not contribute in any way to my work at all. It's kind of annoying as it is too much information. I am determined to be happier with how things are right now because they are working well for now. The weird selection problem has gone away with this new install and I want to keep it that way.
   
   I don't know yet about the party.. Could you please message me the address? I will see where I am @ 8:00 PM today.

   If you were using virtual machines his would be a great place for a snapshot.

   Hold on! that's a fabulous thought. Is there a way to do a snapshot of this real one?

   use dd and clone the drive to an external one that you can restore from later. Thats a long process that requires lots of storage but it might be faster than always rebuilding. A virtual machine on the other hand it would take like 30 seconds and store just the differences.

   seems like it could be problematic with a live system using that tool: :::link:::

   i would disable bluetooth, openvpn (unless you do virtual private networking), and pppd-dns (unless you use dail-up). I'm with @paul you do NOT want to disable anacron and cron. Bad shit could happen.

   Why is the blue not coming off cron and anacron?

   LOL, you are tougher than I thought. It's done now! :) aumix is in blue because it's not really useful to me. System76 has THE WORST soundcard and I seldom use this comp for anything media related anyway. Sound is rock-bottom to say the list. Who cares about mixer levels in that pit of mediocrity?

    I think you have to stop thinking about what is useful to you. I am not saying this is for sure the case with the audio mixer service but there is a good chance something else might expect it and then freak out when its not there. I doubt it really uses any resources when not in use.

    I promise I have stopped thinking about it! In fact I have completely laid off messing with my system after comment #64760. I just got lazy and didn't update this post.
