I have been using Sabayon 5 64-bit edition , Everything has been going great . Last month I accidentally clicked on "automatically remember running application on logging out" option in startups applications preference box -> options tab.
After which some 5 applications incl. firefox and someothers running then start everytime i boot the computer.
Its annoyance increases day by day as it makes startup slow.
I could not find a file in which this information(Apps to startup) is written.I checked /etc/runlevels/default after some googling , but cant find anything interesting there , at last gave up
how to disable startup applications in GNOME 2.30.2 running on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (64-bit). When I open Startup Applications (System --> Preferences -->) and uncheck a startup program, close Startup Applications and open it again, the program I unchecked is checked again. Even if I remove a program from the list it's there again the next time I open Startup Applications and the program opens when I restart.
I'm using Kubuntu 10.10 and since I don't need Bluetooth I've disable startup for BlueDevil. Can I also disable startup for obexftp, or is it require by other processes?
I have an Acer Travelmate with an external Bluetoothswitch. Everytime I boot Linux Bluetooth is automatically activated. I'm running Kubuntu. How can I disable my Bluetooth so that it doesn't start on Startup?
How do i disable startup programs in fedora 11. actually pulseaudio sound system starts up every time i log in. It interferes with the vlc media player running on wine 1.1.13(compiled from source). i killed the pulse audio process, and every thing works fine, but i have to do it every time i log in
In order to preserve resources and to have more secure machine I want to disable services which are of no use to me. But being relatively new to Linux I want to make sure I'm disabling those really unnecessary and that my actions wont have a negative impact on overall system health / usability.code...
I'm running Ubuntu maverick meercat 10.10. I don't think it's very necessary to mention my hardware to get an answer to this question.I found out about the Cairo-Dock and fell in love with it. It annoys the hell out of me to have to start it every time I boot. I navigate to- System> Preferences> Startup ApplicationsUnder the startup programs tab I click on add... Now what??? Put the name as Cairo... what about the command. I don't know what file to navigate to.
I just installed fedora 15 and I can't seem to find my way around Gnome 3.0.1. In fedora 14 when I connected an external hard drive it used to automount itself. I can't find it in fedora 15 though.
How do I set startup applications in fedora 15? In fedora 14 I used to have this wizard to which I could add an application that I would want to run on startup.
I have a nice script that I've placed in the Startup Applications that open some windows for me when I reboot the computer and login. But when I connect remotely via RDP it runs this script too... and that isn't desirable. Is there a way I can prevent the script from running when I login through RDP?
I've searched all over Google and searched the forums and I have not been successful in finding out how to disable the System Bell (Beep) computer-wide. It's annoying hearing this extremely loud "BEEP" when I hit backspace one too many times, even when my sound is muted. People look at me like I'm crazy. Even if I try to backspace a non-existent character in my Google Chrome browser, I am struck with a crazy Error Beep. Long story short, how do I disable the System-wide "System Bell" ("BEEP") permanently? I'm on OpenSuse 11.3 using the KDE 4.4.4 Desktop.
I have searched for this problem, but couldn't find a solution anywhere.
How can i disable the transparency of minimized applications. I attached a SS to explain it. I want the icon pointed by arrow to be non transparent, same as icon at the right of it.
So...without editing ~/.config/autostart (which I can't find in F15...) How does someone set a startup application?I notice Gnome 3 does not have the "startup programs" option available any longer.. So, I went searching with the hopes of running it with trusty terminal:
Code: #yum whatprovides gnome-session-properties You can use "*/gnome-session-properties" and/or "*/bin/gnome-session-properties"
While recently tweaking my system i deleted some startup applications from System->Preferences->Startup Applications. Now my themes and some other settings are not showing up while I login.
here the default set of startup application entries that come when you do a clean install? I am using Ubuntu 9.10 64bit
I tried to put a terminal in the desktop using more or less the procedure described in this article:
[URL]
It worked fine, but then I installed avant-windows-navigator and I think it created some conflicts with compiz and other applications.Both the desktop terminal and Skype started to appear in duplicate when I logged in. So I went to the startup applications menu and disabled them both. When I logged back in they both appear only once, but the terminal is in the wrong spot in the desktop.So there are probably some startup registers somewhere that are causing this.i've tried reinstalling compiz and I uninstall AWN and it didn't work.
I've just moved to Ubuntu and using Linux on the desktop in general. I use RHEL on a daily basis for work so don't really have much experience with window managers etc but like to understand how I'm doing what I'm doing. In that regard, I've configured a couple of scripts to be run when I login using 'System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications' but what I want to know is where do these settings actually get stored within the file system?
I'm having a hard time with my xfce netbook. Yesterday i was adding Tomboy note to my startup applications and i don't know why but since that i'm having a 50 seconds delay between the time i see my wallpaper and icons and the time my startup applications start to load. In this delay my CPU is stable and don't work at all.
Xfce is on my girlfriend netbook too and it seems that we have the same configurations when i look in "session and startup".
I am running Ubuntu 10.10 netbook edition as a virtual machine on a Windows 7 Host laptop. I install VirtualBox guest additions. Then I installed Chromium. I want Chromium to autostart whenever the Virtual Machine (Ubuntu) boots up. When I add the entry (system/preferences/startup) I use the command chromium-browser. It stays there until I reboot. After I reboot it disappears from the startup applications and does not startup like it should.
I need to be able to launch a GUI application for all users after they login. I know I can go to Startup Applications and add a launcher, but I don't want to have to login as every user and do that. Is there a file I can edit from the command line with elevated privledges? Something I could script, like appending to an XML file or something?
I installed the maverick server, and tightvncserver. I wanted a light desktop environment so I installed lxde. I am running this on a KVM virtual machine.. I want the KVM console to fall to text as the default ubuntu-server does, however after installing lxde it seems to start lxdm from somewhere... It is disabled in the rc.*/* setup...
Code: root@srv:/etc# ls -ld rc.*/*lx* init.d/*lx* ls: cannot access rc.*/*lx*: No such file or directory
I want to disable the graphical desktop automatically starting up at boot. I want it to boot only to terminal. I don't want to remove it completely and still want to be able to start it up with for example "startx" if I need it.
There are a couple of applications that I want to start at bootup when I load GNOME but not when I'm using KDE. There doesn't seem to be any option for that. Is there any way I can accomplish this?
About a month ago, I had something go very wrong in my Karmic and my account (with an encrypted home dir) was essentially inaccessible. But I was eventually able to create a new account, and retrieve all my data, but now, for some reason, I cannot edit the 'Startup Applications'.
I open its window and make any changes (which the window seems to accept), but then when I hit close, and restart it, it has been reset to everything I had set from my other account. Which makes little sense.
After that problem, I did have some trouble with permissions of certain files, and am afraid that I inadvertently gave up permissions on my startup applications, but can't imagine what I'd have to do to fix it.some guidance?
I use to auto start Firefox and Thunderbird. I would like to add others but using a delay. For instance, Firefox starts with 10 seconds of delay, Thunderbird with 30 second an so on. I tried to make a script using "sleep" command, but I am not expert and nothing worked. So, do you know if already exist an application that does this if not, are you able to show me how to create the script?
Since several months ago (I think when I upgraded to Karmic), whatever program I add to session startup won't load on boot, and no icon appears at the top-right of the screen, only clock and shutdown button (no audio etc.). [URL] didn't help, nor did searching in forums and bugs. I've enabled debug to /etc/gdm/custom.conf, and this is my .xsession-errors first part:
Code: Unable to create /home/name/.dbus/session-bus (gnome-settings-daemon:1957): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_propagate_error: assertion `src != NULL' failed (gnome-settings-daemon:1957): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_propagate_error: assertion `src != NULL' failed Avviso del window manager: Lettura del file della sessione /home/name/.config/metacity/sessions/10202b25c953eedbf3128344035910216700000019440001.ms non riuscita: Apertura del file "/home/name/.config/metacity/sessions/10202b25c953eedbf3128344035910216700000019440001.ms" non riuscita: Nessun file o directory Unable to find a synaptics device .....
I removed .recently-used.xbel to avoid recently opened files to be logged, so this explains part of these errors. I had disabled gnome-screensaver but now I would need it to automate screen lock and looks like dbus may be the problem. My .dbus directory is empty.
what exactly is SSH Agent as listed in Startup Applications? And can I safely disable it? I've read around a bit and get the impression is has to do with others connecting to my machine/network which is not an issue for me as I'm the only user, but I'm not clear.
Im not sure why they aren't working - but my startup applications are not running at boot. They run fine from terminal.
I have a startup application for Xchat and the command is just xchat (which works fine from terminal) but it isn't loading at? - I have checked and im not running in safe mode or anything like that - just the standard ubuntu desktop).
Unrelated Question:
Is there a 'global' i.p address I can use to represent all devices on my LAN - so I can mass whitelist in firestarter?
