Bug Description

In System Settings, advanced tab, "System Services" is no longer available (not the KDE service manager). I've searched for packages and cannot find any that would create a system services entry in system settings. Unfortunately this means that I can't control (in a GUI) what services start at system boot.
This modules was not present in Hardy as well, the workaround was to use the KDE3 system settings but that option is not available in Intrepid. Is there no KDE4 port of System Services, or at least a KDE4 system services app (like KUser provides a workaround to the missing User module in System Settings).

Thanks for any help.

Hi James!

Unfortunately there is neither a port, nor another KDE application available. There is however a pretty decent GTK application called BUM (if I recall correctly). I am moving your bug to the appropriate package and mark it wishlist.

Have a nice day :)

There is rcconf also. Very spartan.
