Unable to enable "start on boot" in services

Support

Hi

Some of the services do not start on boot. I tried to enable them in the services,but failed to do so.

Start on boot remains disabled. I have to manually enable the services on every boot.

The error messages are:

Glances
Unable to enable service ‘glances’

mumble-server
Unable to enable service 'mumble-server’
Unable to execute command ‘update-rc.d mumble-server defaults’

transmission-daemon
Unable to enable service 'transmission-daemon’
Unable to execute command ‘update-rc.d transmission-daemon defaults’

ethercalc
Unable to enable service 'ethercalc’
Unable to execute command ‘update-rc.d ethercalc defaults’

gateone
Unable to execute command 'update-rc.d gateone defaults’
Unable to enable service ‘gateone’

Further I installed Btsync and then uninstalled it , but it still shows running in the services. How can I completely remove Btsync?

Try to execute manually those commands:

sudo update-rc.d glances defaults
sudo update-rc.d mumble-server defaults
sudo update-rc.d transmission-daemon defaults
...

And give us the results

If you want to remove btsync, you shoud manually exectue

sudo update-rc.d -f btsync remove

Hi @kload and @kanhu
I have the same problem for Gateone: the service doesn’t start on reboot.
So, I run sudo update-rc.d gateone defaults
And that didn’t change anything for me…

@Novakin Thank you

@kload and @xof
I tired to the commands

sudo update-rc.d glances defaults
sudo update-rc.d mumble-server defaults
sudo update-rc.d transmission-daemon defaults

the output for all command was

update-rc.d: using dependency based boot sequencing
insserv: warning: script ‘ipUpdate’ missing LSB tags and overrides
insserv: There is a loop between service boot_prompt and ipUpdate if stopped
insserv: loop involving service ipUpdate at depth 2
insserv: loop involving service boot_prompt at depth 1
insserv: Stopping ipUpdate depends on boot_prompt.sh and therefore on system facility `$all’ which can not be true!
insserv: exiting now without changing boot order!
update-rc.d: error: insserv rejected the script header

There was an error about loop between ipUpdate and boot_prompt.
