system administration menu

Am I missing something? I wanted to look at services, system->admon -> menu only has 7 things on it?

I think it should have a lot more???

This seems to be the standard with F12 (and also in Rawhide). If you don't mind using the shell, you can use

chkconfig --list

to display services and runlevel information.

If it's a standard Fedora installation you should also be able to run:

Code:

system-config-services

from the command line.

If it isn't installed:

Code:

yum install system-config-services

should get it for you.

It seems as if system-config-services is no longer installed by default, but is in the repositories.

Hello CSchwangler

Just curious, what was the source of your install? I've installed from the 32bit DVD and the KDE Live CD. I'm sure that I haven't had to post install 'system-config-services on any of my installs.

I've installed from the stock Gnome liveCD and system-config-services is neither in the menu nor installed on disk.

Code:

[root@D400 cschwangler]# system-config-
system-config-authentication  system-config-network-cmd
system-config-date            system-config-network-tui
system-config-firewall        system-config-printer
system-config-firewall-tui    system-config-printer-applet
system-config-keyboard        system-config-users
system-config-network

Hello CSchwangler

Very odd. I find it hard to believe that all the people who use the Gnome LiveCD don't get system-config-services with it, but I'll bear it in mind for further forum questions.

Thanks for the info.

CSchwangler · #8 18th December 2009, 09:25 AM

Yes, it is really odd, but since I did at least five installations and it was always missing, I guess thats not an installation issue.

Strange indeed. I never installed it. It's just there.

Code:

[glenn@leonardo ~>$ system-config-
system-config-authentication  system-config-language        system-config-printer
system-config-boot            system-config-lvm             system-config-printer-applet
system-config-date            system-config-network         system-config-selinux
system-config-firewall        system-config-network-cmd     system-config-services
system-config-firewall-tui    system-config-network-gui     system-config-users
system-config-keyboard        system-config-network-tui

Hi Glennzo

It's odder because I have someone on this thread who is missing "Services" as well. They also seems to be missing the NetworkManager GUI.

Like you, I'd always assumed that Services was an integral part of any Fedora install.

I'm with Glennzo.

I have it installed from the DVD.

I bothered to check my /var/log/yum.log file, not listed, so it definitely came with the DVD installer.
