Services do not restart at boot

[jarome]

I go into Yast2 Services managed and enable and start smb. nmb, firewalld. But every time I restart, they are not automatically started. Even worse, the firewalld app does not remember my added ports.
How do I get my daemons to start on boot, and how do I get the firewall to remember its ports?

The YaST > System > Service Manager entries do not only have a checkbox for Start, but also for Enable. Use that to enable the service to be started at boot.

When making settings, be sure to toggle firewall-config to “Permanent” instead of “Runtime”. Otherwise you only make temporary changes.

I am not sure this is a separate question about the firewall. The OP does not say he changed something to the firewall configuration .

I assume that YaST > System > Services Manager will not only start/stop a service, but also open/close posts (that is why we have a good system managers tool, to help you to do those things you might not have thought of).
Then I assume that on enabling the service, YaST will also make the opened port(s) permanent. Or am I wrong here (I am a bit guessing here, because I have the firewall off).

Both are checked!

Thanks on that. The new interface is not very intuitive. There is a menu item “change runtime to permanent”
Who would think to look?

I do not think that Services Manager knows the ports of “strange” services like ejabberd, subsonic, openfire,…
But I still must restart everything at boot, even though both enable and start are checked in systemd. It comes up as enabled, but not started,

I think your thinking is correct ;). YaST would not know which ports belong to which service it has never hear off, but is for which there is only a systemd unit.

To the OP.

You better provide people here with more information like listings of the systemd units or whatever you think others could use to get a good discussion going on what might be wrong.

Also the name of those services you kept secret for us might trigger people into saying: Oh, I had that also, but i solved it …

More info, more chance that somebody jumps the wagon.

[jarome]

What more information do you want?

[hcvv]

What about

systemctl status firewalld

Maybe also forthe others.
