Ubuntu – How to uninstall the HUD altogether

hud

I don't want to just disable the key binding to invoke the HUD, I want to remove the HUD.

I notice in System Monitor that something called hud-service is taking up 65 megabytes. Besides that, I'm always invoking the HUD by accident merely by going back a page in a web browser. So I'd like to just completely uninstall anything pertaining to the HUD.

Is this possible?

I don't think is possible, since the HUD is part of Unity itself, you can check:

Use the following commands:

sudo apt-get install ppa-purge
sudo ppa-purge ppa:unity-team/hud

If you've already manually removed the PPA from your sources, re-add it so the purge can be conducted.

You may need to reboot before the uninstallation takes effect.
