#3880 Bootup actions not changing.

No

Operating system: Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS
Webmin installation: 1.540

Problem: when I change a program to start/not start on bootup, it will say the bootup option saved successfully, but when I return to the program list, the program will still show the old preference. For instance, I don't want dnsmasq to start on boot, but when I change it to "Disable On Boot", it will still say that it starts on boot.

Workaround: "update-rc.d -f <name> remove" will remove the program successfully.

Notes: my bootup list will randomly switch between showing the majority of the programs as not starting at boot and showing the majority of them starting at boot (screenshot). The switch will normally happen when I change a system program (like hostname) from No to Yes.

    If you try to disable an action with the command "insserv -r actionname" does it report any error?
