How to disable the Raspberry Pi power, status, and network LEDs in Ubuntu
04-19-2021 · 1 minute read · 104 words
I just picked up a new Raspberry Pi 4 to play with and spent some time digging around to see if I could disable the status, power and network interface LEDs since I keep the Pi in the same room that I sleep. Here are the directions if you are running a Ubuntu.
Edit:
/boot/firmware/syscfg.txt
And append the following contents
# Disable the PWR LED
dtparam=pwr_led_trigger=none
dtparam=pwr_led_activelow=off
# Disable the Activity LED
dtparam=act_led_trigger=none
dtparam=act_led_activelow=off
# Disable ethernet port LEDs
dtparam=eth_led0=4
dtparam=eth_led1=4
If you are on Raspian, edit:
/boot/config.txt
Instead. After rebooting your Pi should go dark! And you’ll sleep once again in pitch black.
