General :: Fedora Autologin In Runlvel 3 And Autostart Application?
Jul 6, 2010
I have a single kernel with 2 menu entries in grub like following:
Boot(gfx)
Boot(text)
First entry boot the fedora in graphical mode running the gnome.
Second entry boot the fedora in text mode.
First thing is working fine but i want to know how to do the second thing. i added 3 at the end of second entry in syslinux.cfg and after booting it dropped me at console asking for login.
So how to autologin in runlevel 3 and start autostart an application(e.g python script)?

my system has an autologin as root defined by custom.conf which is located in /etc/gdm : Code: [daemon]
TimedLoginEnable=false
AutomaticLoginEnalbe=true
TimedLogin=root
AutomaticLogin=root
TimedLoginDelay=30
And I would like to have the program "expfit_spifunc2" executed after the auto login. So, I have added "xterm_expfit.desktop" inside of /root/.config/autostart
"xterm_expfit.desktop" code:
Code: [Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=0.9.4
Type=Application
Name=xterm_expfit
code....

Code:
# cat /etc/init/tty.conf
# This service maintains a getty on the sepcified device.
stop on runlevel [016]
respawn
instance $TTY
exec /sbin/mingetty $TTY
exec /sbin/mingetty --autologin user tty1
when i use this conf I'm auto logged back in again , and cant't execute any command
commenting pre-last line has no effect.
How to enable autologin on desired tty for certain user?

I am fairly new to linux.We have a machine running CentOS 4.4 and sometimes the machine has to be rebooted. Each time after the reboot, I have to SSH in and manually restart one of our application. I have been reading about doing this online and I am a little confuse.Seems like there are multiple possibilities for starting things up. My finding suggest using the inittab file. Then my question is what runlevel do I pass in? Should I use runlevel 1, 2, 3, or 5? Once the runlevel is determine, then how should I name my startup script? I know to use "S" but what number should I give it? Or, another way to approach this is to put my autostart script in the /etc/rc.local file?

I've been on 11.2 KDE for about a week (clean install). Previously on 11.1 Gnome. Everything's great except I can't get Autologin to work consistently. It worked perfectly in 11.1 Gnome! In 11.2 KDE sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I set it up as root in both Yast and System Settings.

I've built a system and installed Debian 5.0.7 on it, the one thing I'd like to do is to get it to autologin at startup. I've changed my /etc/inittab and ~/.bash_profile as per the instructions in this thread:
viewtopic.php?f=16&t=29333
so that they look like this:
/etc/inittab:
# /etc/inittab: init(8) configuration.
# $Id: inittab,v 1.91 2002/01/25 13:35:21 miquels Exp $

I upgraded to F13 this week. And autologin just sits with autologin present, but I have to click the autologin (rather than a user name) and then click again to actually login. That's not so "auto" anymore if I can't push the power button and come back in x minutes with everything and running.
I had this in my /etc/gdm/custom.conf
TimedLoginEnable=true
TimedLogin=marty
TimedLoginDelay=8
What changed and what do I need to do now to get autologin to get off it's ass and log me in?

What's the easiest way to make things autostart in KDE? The only method I know is to make links to the applications and then put them in the KDE autostart folder. Last time I did that, I had a lot of trouble with not being allowed to make the links unless I was root. Is there a simpler way?

i'm running fedora 10 Gnome ver 2.24.3 kernel 2.6.30.4
i tried to change my /etc/gdm/custom.conf by adding it the following lines:
[daemon]
TimedLoginEnable=true
TimedLogin=your_mike
TimedLoginDelay=0
after reloading gnome it's trying to log through "autologin" but than it give an error message "Unable to authenticate user", i tried using passwd -d on my account but still the error persisted, i saw that some users had this error after a fresh install just with logging into the machine without relation to autologin and they needed to change their password first i tried that as well.
i also tried to edit the /etc/gdm/gdm.schemas file
<schema>
<key>daemon/AutomaticLoginEnable</key>
<signature>b</signature>
<default>true</default> <schema>
<key>daemon/AutomaticLogin</key>
code....
But unfortunately the results were the same, i tried this procedure on a different Fedora 7 and on a virtual ubunto 9.4 machine and is was successful.

I'm a complete Linux beginner who wrote his first little script.I'm writing an 'installer' for it (so I can share it with friends) and I'm wandering if there is a universal method to add it to autostart in all Linux distributions.I was thinking about cron/crontab but it's not the best choice, as writing an uninstaller which removes a specific line from crontab is out of my league. I'd rather copy a *.desktop file to autostart folders and then be able to remove them.BTW do you have to put *.desktop files in ~/.config/autostart in Ubuntu, but ~/.kde/Autostart in Kubuntu even if they are shell scripts?

I'm trying to get a script to autostart and hitting some snags. I know the script works, because I can manually launch it from a terminal window. I've perused the forums and followed similar advice to put the script in the /etc/rc.d/init.d directory and then create a symlink in the rc5.d directory (S99my_script) I've even tried appending ". /etc/init.d/myscript" to the .bashrc file
I've managed to get the machine to autologin "myuser" upon startup (that's the owner of the .bashrc file I edited), but still the script won't start when myuser auto logs in. the system default is set for password protect on screen save so if I simple let that happen, as soon as I exit screen save the script launches, so it almost works.

I have this extremely simple script called startmyth:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
sleep 10
export DISPLAY=:0.1
exec /usr/bin/mythfrontend &
when I execute it as ./startmyth, it works fine. But when added to Gnome's startup applications (System > Preferences > Startup Applications), Mythtv does not start! What gives?

I just installed Fedora 11 (excellent work by the Fedora team!) and got my Verizon mobile USB CDMA device working after some file modifications (easily found via searching).
I have to click the network icon in the task bar, and select "Auto Mobile Broadband (CDMA) Connection" to get it to connect though. It then shows up via "ifconfig" as ppp0 and all is good.
But how do I get this to auto-start when the system reboots? It doesn't show up in the network manager, and I'm not even sure how to use command-line to start up the CDMA connection! I only can do it via clicking that icon.

I created a F14 x86_64 guest OS in VirtualBox4 (hosted by F14 x86_64) and configured it to get its IP from my router but it won't do so on boot. The other guest OS's (Fedora 14 i386, 2x Oracle EL5) are able to get their IPs on boot.
I checked the setting in the network manager and they show that the interface is to be activated on boot but it doesn't. When I log in and run ifup eth0 as root it works.

I've decided to give openbox a try with Debian testing. I set up my right-click menu exactly how I want it, and everything else is set up perfectly. I installed trayer and tint2, along with nitrogen. I added the following lines to my ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh file, but things aren't loading/restoring as they should. Tint2 and trayer don't load at all, and nitrogen isn't restoring my wallpaper. All I get is a black screen with my cursor, but the ability to right-click and open the menu, so it's not like X is dead. I did set the default wallpaper by issuing the command nitrogen /home/john/Pictures/Wallpapers, where "Wallpapers" contains all of my background images.
Here is my autostart.sh file: Code: # Autostart file for openbox nitrogen --restore & sleep 2s && tint -c /home/john/.config/tint/.tintrc) & (sleep 2s && trayer --expand true --transparent true --alpha 255 --edge bottom --align right --expand true --SetDockType true --widthtype request --margin 130) & I do have proper content in the .tintrc file located in /home/john/.config/tint/tintrc. Am I doing something wrong here?

I've got it to the point it will run when you login by adding a line to the /etc/xdg/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart file. Added "synergyc 111.111.1.11" and it works perfect. So the main question is, how can I add that line somewhere, somehow to start on boot and not by login?

So, I have this application called Impact, it is an explicit time integration Finite Elements code written in Java...
[url]
I untar the pack, and launch the application calling a script, from within the untarred folder,
Code:
This launches a gui which allows me to setup a case, which needs some setup file, tipically some *.in and a mesh file, tipically some *.msh.
Other mode of executuion consists of calling the setup file as argument to Impact.sh script ( CLI execution mode, for g33k5 )
My problem is : I have packed the whole stuff into a Slackware .tgz, that places it in /usr/local/Impact, and placed a calling script in /usr/local/bin,
Code:
Code:
I decided to hack the ImpactGUI_OGL_linux_amd64.sh script from
Code:
Code:
no avail,
Code:
even after adding /usr/local/Impact/bin to PATH... won't go...
I can run this thing from within its directory... but I do not like messing within the directories of my applications, this is why I sent this to /usr/local, and placed a calling script in /usr/local/bin...
