Several services don't start at boot

[trx64]

I'm having some strange problems in my system (Ubuntu 9.10 32 bits). Several services (Cups, MySQL, VirtualBox kernel driver, etc) aren't starting during boot time. It's possible start them manually (e.g. /etc/init.d/cups start). The other problem is that my virtual terminals (ctrl + alt + f[1-6]) aren't starting with the system too. Any idea?

i have exact same problem, it just started, not sure when,
almost all of the services dont start and i must start them manually, is there a way to do some interactive boot to see what is happening?

thx

I too am having issues with services I installed, notably at the moment nfs-kernel-server and the vmware modules for my vmware workstation, not starting up. I have all their runlevels set up correctly, or at least what has been correct on linux for about 20 years....although I'm guessing this new upstart service is the cause of all this frustration....I'm running ubuntu 9.10 btw

Just to let you guys know, I figured out what was going on with my services...don't know if this will help you, but I had forgotten that I changed a setting in /etc/init.d/rc that enabled concurrent booting, which must have messed up the order of my services starting, because after changing the setting back, all my problems were fixed

That didn't work here. I've started a bug report in Launchpad.
