Google Cloud SDK causing numerous problems, how to fully/properly uninstall?












0














I'm using Ubuntu 18.10 on my HP Pavilion 15-AU003TX laptop. Few months ago, I had installed (not using apt) Google Cloud SDK for some reason which I dont remember, and I didn't end up using it pretty well. But since then, bootup time has significantly increased but not until now I realized that it was this redundant/unused gcloud SDK installation that was causing it. Here's how I found out:





  • The first clue: often while booting, I see this message for a few seconds:



    A start job is running for Google Compute Engine Instance Setup.



  • Following the instructions mentioned in this answer, around 10 mins after boot, systemd tells me that bootup isn't finished yet.



    $ sudo systemd-analyze plot
    Bootup is not yet finished
    (org.freedesktop.systemd1.Manager.FinishTimestampMonotonic=0).
    Please try again later.
    Hint: Use 'systemctl list-jobs' to see active jobs



  • Then when I ran systemctl list-jobs:



    $ systemctl list-jobs
    JOB UNIT TYPE STATE
    123 google-startup-scripts.service start waiting
    152 google-accounts-daemon.service start waiting
    112 google-clock-skew-daemon.service start waiting
    144 google-ip-forwarding-daemon.service start waiting
    1 graphical.target start waiting
    172 google-shutdown-scripts.service start waiting
    91 google-instance-setup.service start running
    2 multi-user.target start waiting
    143 google-network-setup.service start waiting
    183 ureadahead-stop.timer start waiting
    168 systemd-update-utmp-runlevel.service start waiting

    11 jobs listed.



This tells me that its indeed the Google Cloud SDK scripts that are causing the delay in bootup & shutdown, and sometimes random freezes & lags too. There's an article here about uninstalling it, but that wont do anything as simply deleting the installation directory without removing its system-wide influence (init services, bash scripts etc) will only worsen problems. So, how can I entirely wipe out this nuisance out of my system and make things normal again ? Thanks in advance.
