Bug Description
Binary package hint: ksysv
kcontrol->system administration-
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?
The part that say: "[Incidentally, the udev service is also marked as "not running", which is not true either]" is bug #89580.
