Enabling services in sidux

sidux 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

/etc/init.d/service start

or

rcconf

to enable service at startup

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
