Who starts unattended-upgrades?
3 answers
I recently installed Trisquel 8.0 LTS (Flidas) on my Desktop PC which was running on Trisquel 7.0 for 4 year. The system became very slow. When I check the RAM and CPU Usage, I found that CPU is almost at 100 % I tun top to see what is going wrong and found that unattended-upgr is consuming whole CPU.
I tried to kill it by PID using sudo kill 1803 but after sometime, it started again automatically. I know that Unattended Upgrades are purposed to install important security updates automatically, however I need to disable it being launched automatically.
How do I do that?

@StephenKitt This answer looks good and useful. I'll try it (currently powercut due to rain).

You would need to stop the automatic updater as follows:
Run the following command
sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow unattended-upgrades
You'll see prompt for Configuring unattended-upgrades :
Select No to disable automatic download and install of updates and press Enter.
For more information on configuring packages, see man dpkg-reconfigure
--configure package...|-a|--pending
Configure a package which has been unpacked but not yet configâ€Â
ured. If -a or --pending is given instead of package, all
unpacked but unconfigured packages are configured.
Configuring consists of the following steps:
1. Unpack the conffiles, and at the same time back up the old
conffiles, so that they can be restored if something goes wrong.
2. Run postinst script, if provided by the package
dpkg-reconfigure - reconfigure an already installed package
-pvalue, --priority=value
Specify the minimum priority of question that will be displayed.
dpkg-reconfigure normally shows low priority questions no matter
what your default priority is. See debconf(7) for a list.
-a, --all
Reconfigure all installed packages that use debconf. Warning: this
may take a long time.
--no-reload
Prevent dpkg-reconfigure from reloading templates. Use with caution; this will prevent
dpkg-reconfigure from repairing broken templates databases. However, it may be useful
in constrained environments where rewriting the templates database is expensive.
