Some Linux distributions install services that can interfere with Klipper’s ability to access the printer board. So far known are

- ModemManager
- BRLtty

In order to facilitate checking for such services and disabling them, I have written a little shell script: [https://github.com/Sineos/useful\_bits/blob/main/Linux/disable\_unwanted\_services.sh](https://github.com/Sineos/useful_bits/blob/main/Linux/disable_unwanted_services.sh)

Run it via

```auto
curl -sf -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Sineos/useful_bits/main/Linux/disable_unwanted_services.sh | sudo bash

```

Above command will run the script as **root**   
Only do this if you trust me or if you have verified the script beforehand.

Any tests would be appreciated. I did test it, but additional tests would be highly appreciated

Edit: Screenshot from testing it how the output looks like:
