Sarge to Etch, slighrly botched
Today I followed the official Etch release notes to upgrade from Sarge
to Etch and all went pretty well, except for some X services, i.e., the
XDM and XFS services are no longer started at boot, nor can I start them
manually with /etc/init.d/<service name>. Other TCP services like SSH
and MySQL listener fire up just fine at boot, so the problem seems
restricted to X-related network services.
I do recall that during the upgrade I was advised that some TCP and UDP
portmapper services would have to be manually restarted, but I am too
much of a newbie to understand if that means something different that
running a script from /etc/init.d/.
All hints welcome!
Thanks
