Uhhh maybe you could tell us *what* services you think should be running??

Many services are not needed and therefore are not started.

I have a service called 'noip' that is supposed to start at bootup.

In the left hand pane is says start at bootup 'Yes' and 'service is not running' (but is is running)

When I start the service I get this error,

Starting dynamic address update: /usr/bin/noip2 already running.
noip2.


There are other services, like postfix, that are supposed to start at bootup but aren't.

Are these other services enabled in your:

system settings --> advanced --> System services ??

If so, then check your boot messages (dmesg) and see if there are errors.

Also check /var/log/messages or /var/log/daemon.log
or /var/log/syslog

There's lots of places to look for the problem.
