Enabling services in Joatha
Joatha by default runs the following services: cpid, cron, dbus, hotkey-setup, kdm, klogd, sysklogd and they get updated whenever a dist-upgrade is done. All services that are installed but not active will become active after a dist-upgrade.
To start a service for a session use only
/etc/init.d/service start
To enable a service at startup start the boot configuration dialog: Click Kmenu>Advanced Settings>configure>boot:
Or - if you don't like the graphical way, you could open a terminal,type the following:
rcconf
Note on using rcconf: Use: arrows to move up/down, space to select/deselect, tab to highlight, ok or cancel, `enter` to apply changes
An alternative to rcconf is:
update-rc.d service defaults
Lost root passwords
You cannot recover the lost password but you can set a new one.
First boot from the Live-CD.
As root mount your root partition (for example /dev/hdb2)
# mount /dev/hdb2 Now chroot into your old root-Partition with # chroot /media/hdb2 and use the passwd command to set a new password: # passwd
