Ubuntu – Ubuntu 18.04 – Can’t install sysv-rc-conf package for managing startup services

18.04software installationsysvxubuntu

I am using Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS

I am not able to install sysv-rc package. Tried to install from deb package but there are so many dependencies that I failed by downloading them one by one.

Why sysv-rc package is not anymore supported in ubuntu 18?
I tried also apt-get install rcconf, but it is not found anymore too.

Is there any alternative for sysv-rc-conf or maybe a solution to install this package in ubuntu 18?

SysV was replaced by systemd.

You can get some background information why in this article for example https://fossbytes.com/systemd-vs-sys-v-vs-upstart/

And here is a cheatsheet to get you started with systemd https://www.2daygeek.com/sysvinit-vs-systemd-cheatsheet-systemctl-command-usage/#
