[Bug 77875] ksysv "start at boot" does not know about rcS.d

[RichardNeill]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ksysv

kcontrol->system administration->system services offers a nice way for
kubuntu users to edit start up scripts. Except that it doesn't get it
right.

For each service, there is a checkbox marked "Start during boot". This
checkbox is unaware of /etc/init.d/rcS.d, and so services which actually
*ARE* started at boot (eg udev) are marked as "Start at boot" -> "No".
[Incidentally, the udev service is also marked as "not running", which
is not true either]

[The runlevel in the kcontrol GUI that I am talking about is the
default, i.e. 2]

This is how I fell victim to bug 63031: I saw that udev was not
(apparently) starting at boot time, so I enabled it to do so. As a
result, udev was actually started in rc2.d as well as rcS.d, and bad
things happened.


P.S. I haven't filed this upstream with KDE - should I have?
