ilia_kr Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 After fixining my HD problem on a linux box, i desided to go for Ubuntu. I have 6.06 Dapper now. My question is, how can i view and edit all services that start on boot? Mandriva and Fedora have a gui tool for that, but here I can't find one. Please help me with that. Thanks.

tyme Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I'm not at an Ubuntu box right now, but IIRC you should be able to find it under System > Administration > Services from the menubar (this is in Ubuntu [GNOME] not Kubuntu [KDE] ) Some people prefer using BUM (Boot Up Manager) which should be available for install from the software manager, IIRC.

arctic Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 You can try rcconf, which you have to install from the repos. It is a ncurses based manager for system-services. Simply launch it in a terminal. It works well (at least in debian) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianw1974 Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 You can also install a gui package called bum. This also exists in Debian too: apt-get install bum or use synaptic package manager to install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scarecrow Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 There's also webmin (AIO web based administration interface). Very convenient, not only for headless machines, but for all purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
