[14:41] <davef> Can somebody tell me how to completely disable wpa_supplicant from starting on a Raspberry Pi? I've disabled both wpa_supplicant and bluetooth services, but each time it boots, it still starts up.
[14:56] <zxmpi> some mention of it and difficulty in killing the bugger here https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=212574
[15:02] <davef> ah, it's in if-up.d
[15:04] <davef> huh, so unlinking them didn't work
[15:05] <davef> it still starts :/
[15:06] <davef> so..
[15:06] <davef> $ systemctl status wpa_supplicant.service
[15:06] <davef> ● wpa_supplicant.service
[15:06] <davef>      Loaded: masked (Reason: Unit wpa_supplicant.service is masked.)
[15:06] <davef>      Active: inactive (dead)
[15:06] <davef> yet...
[15:06] <davef> $ ps aux | grep wpa
[15:06] <davef> root         521  0.0  0.0  13852  2408 ?        Ss   11:05   0:00 wpa_supplicant -B -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -iwlan0
[15:08] <davef> I suspect it's being fired up by dhcpcd. It's even weird that I have to configure a static IP in dhcpcd instead of /etc/network/interfaces
[15:12] <davef> While I appreciate that Raspberry Pi OS is great for beginners, when it comes to removing services from running when they're not needed, it's annoying.
[15:14] <waveform> davef, oh this is raspios? Was about to say, running systemctl disable wpa_supplicant seems to work on the ubuntu server image for pi
[15:15] <davef> yeah, it's raspios
