    System services not autostarting

    I upgraded to Karmic, and have found that certain system services i.e. cron,ssh,atd,samba all need to be manually started. They used to autostart. I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out how to get these back to autostart.

    Try running

    Code:
    chkconfig --list
    in a Terminal window. Are the services you need autostarted listed as 'on' in runlevels 3, 4, and 5?
    -Tipo

    No they are not. How do I get them where they need to be? Not sure whether I need anacron or cron to be autostarted. I think in Jaunty it was anacron.

    Solution: I installed sysv-rc-conf and was able to set the correct startup levels for the services.
