Cannot disable Transmission-Daemon from starting at boot

0

I'm running Raspbian, and I want to disable Transmission-Daemon from running automatically at boot-up.

According to this post, I should simply edit /etc/default/transmission-daemon and set the option ENABLE_DAEMON=0.

Despite doing this, Transmission-Daemon insists on starting at boot. What could be the reason for this?

Startup behaviour of Debian recently changed. We'll need to know which Debian version you run. Additionally, it might be valuable to learn how you installed it (via apt or manually) because that may make a difference. Finally, did you read the comments regarding the selected answer of the question which you refer to? – Run CMD – 2015-12-02T15:46:07.513

Thanks for your reply. TBH I'm running the latest version of Raspbian. I installed transmission-daemon via apt-get. I've read those comments but I'm not having that problem, I can't get it to disable on startup. Also, I'm not sure what ip netns exec vpn does. – Winterflags – 2015-12-02T15:48:35.027

I've never used Raspbian but try running this command:

systemctl is-enabled transmission-daemon.service

If you get some error Raspbian is not using systemd to start the service at boot. When you don't get feedback then run this command to disable:

systemctl disable transmission-daemon.service
