Hmm, the weird thing is that 'rc-status -a' and 'rc-update show' show |
| 57 |
different things (no xdm and virtualbox-... in the first one) but I have |
| 58 |
no idea what might be causing that... |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
Few random thoughts: |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
Did you check the file permissions on those scripts? |
| 63 |
|
| 64 |
Any pending etc-update stuff (esp. in /etc/init.d) ? (not that it should |
| 65 |
affect this in any way...) |
| 66 |
|
| 67 |
If anything else, you can try running 'strace -e trace=file' on |
| 68 |
rc-status and rc-update show and might notice something there that would |
| 69 |
explain while those two tools come up with different sets of scripts... |
| 70 |
|
| 71 |
|
| 72 |
You can also look around the dirs/files in /lib/rc/init.d/ to se a more |
| 73 |
complete state of the rc system... (/lib/rc/init.d/softlevel should show |
| 74 |
the current runlevel) |
| 75 |
