i want to start firefox on startup of my os.so i tried these commands:
ln -s /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.18/firefox /etc/init.d/firefox
ln -s /etc/init.d/firefox /etc/rc5.d/S99firefox
and then i restarted my pc i nothing happened.what should i do ?
the start up fails, but a process is left running. these machines are running the latest stable version of Centos 5, and we have been "messing" with the firewall. When I'm logged on through a console, I get error messages that lockd can not contact the server even though the nfs mounted home directories work fine.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a problem, I'm have a course at high school (webserver management) in class this morning we had to install apache, php, ftp and so on but I didn't finish on time so when I got home I was playing around. I'm on wireless here and changed the vm connection from bridge to nat.
normally we had to install apache using yum (yum install httpd) and start the service. that's what I did and then we had to go to firefox (or IE) and type the ip of our server. but when I do I get "problem loading page" instead of the apache default page. I've set httpd runlever 2 to 5 to on and rebooted. but still not working.
First of all I'm using Ubuntu 9.10.I have tried using System/Preferences/StartupApplicationsI added:java -Xint -cp /home/Edgar/dist/Edagr.jar:/home/Edgar/dist/Annotator.jar com.ionetrics.edgar.EdgarI don't know if I am calling this incorrectly or not. I know that I can call this from a terminal and it will run correctly.However it will not run at startup. I have added Teamviewer to startup and it runs properly.

I'm trying to think of the best way to have a job start up on it's own when a system (running CentOS 5) boots up. The job is a simple python script. However, there are some interesting conditions that need to be met:
- As stated, script needs to start and run in the background when the system boots up, but without anyone logging in.
- This script needs to be readable only by root, which means it will need to be run as root
- Only 1 person will have root access, meaning nobody else will have access to see this script or it's status.
The entire point is to have this thing running all the time, even if the system reboots, but to make it so nobody can see the script or view it's source, unless they have root access, which only 1 person will have.
I can think of plenty of ways to have things start up automatically when a system comes up, but they all involve having the user log in as part of it. How can I have a listening python script start up, at boot up, on it's own, without root actually logging in?
i want to run my program and when it starts up shows an option to say : do you want to start this program at start up? and then if yes copy this program at start up how i can do this?

I'd like to reconfigure vsftpd so that it does not start on boot (and I can enable/disable it using service vsftpd start/stop).
Though I've seen posts in the forums that stated that upstart jobs can be disabled by moving the /etc/init/job.conf file, other sites commented that the original file will be recreated on updates.
The other two suggestions were to alter the upstart script such that either the process starts on never:
Code:
start on (never
and filesystem
and net-device-up IFACE!=lo)
stop on runlevel [!2345]

I currently got Ubuntu 10.0.4 server edition running on my server. I got 2 network cards in it. One for (eth0) the pppoe connection and the other one (eth1) for dhcp and network.
When i installed dhcpd3 server a couple of days ago, it wouldn't start. So i searched the web and came on the conclusion that i have to do " sudo ifconfig eth1 down sudo ifconfig eth1 up 192.168.0.1"
Problem is i don't have connection with this pc all the time. So if i have to restart it, the dhcp server won't start.
I had a hard drive failure and have recovered (rsync) my backup root filesystem onto a new drive. This all seems to be fine, except that at least two services no longer start: mysql and apache2.I can start successfully both through
Code:
sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start
although mysql throws a warning about Upstart. Neither start automatically.My system is Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS x86_64. Part of my reolution actions has involved a kernel update to 2.6.32-27-generic.I have tried to resolve the mysql issue first:
Code:
sudo update-rc.d -f mysql remove
sudo update-rc.d mysql defaults
Code:
sudo apt-get remove --purge mysql-server
sudo apt-get install mysql-server
adding them /etc/init.d/... start commands to /etc/init.d/rc.local script and to a session startup script
checking the services are in rcX.d (using bum and sysv-rc-conf) Ensuring there's a .conf file in /etc/init (which there is).I can't see anything in syslog which would suggest if the system has tried to start these but failed, but then I may be looking in the wrong place. I think they're not starting at all. I wonder if it's something to do with the restore, perhaps symlinks?
I'm not very sure when this issue started. Anyway, the system finally boots and I haven't had any further problems, but I somehow notice the booting to be a bit slower since this error appeared and I don't like watching the red letters that say "failed" every time I switch the computer on. I googled this before posting it, and other users have had this issue, but the solutions that worked for them didn't work for me.
This is the content of my /etc/network/interfaces file:
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

Today, I try to update firefox by Package Updater but show error by bellow. "Missing Dependency: xulrunner >= 1.9.0.19-1 is needed by package firefox-3.0.19-1.el5.centos.x86_64 (CentOS5updates)"
View 6 Replies View RelatedI updated my Suse 11.1 distribution and suddenly Firefox stopped working. I went to a terminal and typed in "firefox" and nothing happened. No error message, no nothing. It just stood there.
If I did the sae as root or as another user, then Firefox would load as usual.
The issue for me was that I was using NoMachine (NX) to access my machine. It adds some lines to the LD_PRELOAD session variable. I removed the variable content et voila! I've got my Firefox working again
To check if you're in the same potential situation, do a "set | grep LD" and check the result. If you've got "LD_PRELOAD=" with nothing afterwards, you're not in the same case as me. Good luck finding our fix. If you see "LD_PRELOAD=some stuff here" then you may be in the same case as me. The type in "LD_PRELOAD=" and hit enter to clean he variable. Then in the same terminal type in "firefox" and it should just work.
I've set up a second user for myself on my laptop.
My user on the laptop is 'tiger'
Let's call the second user 'jrdobbs'
I would like to log on to gmail/facebook/etc using the jrdobbs, but I don't want to switch users via X... I just want a second instance of firefox open, which stores all of its login information under /home/jrdobbs.
My naive attempt looked like this:
Code:
su -l -c "firefox" jrdobbs
Here was my thinking:
start firefox under 'su jrdobbs' ... firefox should store its files under the current user's $HOME/.mozilla

I'm assuming it's Ubuntu One because of the sequence of events, but feel free to correct me if you think otherwise. How can I stop this?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI just upgraded to 10.10 and I was previously able to run the following command in startup applications preferences menu "command" box to have firefox launch around the time that my wireless card came up:
sleep 20; firefox
For some reason this doesn't work anymore. I can run the command from the terminal and it works fine. Is there something that I'm missing?
Every time I launch Firefox and go visiting some websites, I notice it freezes for about 10 seconds. Not always in the same websites, but it always happens sometime in the first 2 or 3 minutes of running. I can see the hard disk led is ON all the time the browser is hung.
My operating system is Linux and I don't currently have any extension/plugin installed here.
I have no form completion, no history and have no more than 20-30 bookmarks.
Has somebody noticed something similar, or know how can I debug this to find out what Firefox is doing or trying to do?
I have specified firefox should startup using the following procedure:
System > Preferences > Startup Applications > Add
And used the following details:
Name=firefox
Command=/usr/lib/firefox-3.6.11/firefox-bin
But it doesn't start up. I tried also adding a shortcut to the following location:
/home/USER/.config/autostart/SHORTCUT-TO-FIREFOX
The account I'm trying to get it working on is unprivileged. I'm sure it was working yesterday but can't swear if I had added extra permissions at that stage.
