Ubuntu 16.04. Best way to disable apport?

Question

I have been searching for ways to do this in 16.04, but most instructions that I've found are for 14.04. I don't think it will work, since Ubuntu 16.04 uses systemd. Can someone please guide me?

Solution

You should be able to use systemctl to accomplish your needs.

sudo systemctl status apport.service 

sudo systemctl stop apport.service 

sudo systemctl disable apport.service.

When learning to use systemctl you can often use tab completion, if you aren't aware of the full service names.
