cannot install sysv-rc-conf

[krabbie]

Hi, I am new to linux and please pardon me if this question sounds stupid.

I am trying to install sysv-rc-conf on my newly installed kubuntu, but I am hit with the following problem. Can someone tell me what's wrong? Thanks.

$ sudo sysv-rc-conf
sudo: sysv-rc-conf: command not found

$ sudo apt-get install sysv-rc-conf

Re: cannot install sysv-rc-conf

Most likely scenario is that you haven't enabled the 'universe' repository (sysv-rc-conf is in universe)

How to enable universe:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Kubuntu

You can also manage system services with SystemSettings>Advanced>SystemServices (Although I prefer sysv-rc-conf myself )

Yes, this solved my problem, thanks! So far, my experience with Kubuntu has been quite pleasant ... 3 days without windoze and I am not missing a bit.
