General :: Ubuntu 9.10 Stuck At Startup?
Jan 14, 2010I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 inside VMWare Workstation on Windows XP (Yo dawg... I put an OS inside yo OS), and when I rebooted my virtual machine tonight it happened that I couldn't reach the login screen. I've rebooted several times and after going through the usual boot sequence and showing me the boot progress bars, Ubuntu hangs at what should be the login screen with the "busy" cursor spinning round and round.
I can press CTRL+ALT+F1 to get to a console, however, and then I can login and use my computer normally (albeit without a GUI). The only thing I can think of that I've changed recently was I installed a new window manager, XMonad -- but I don't see how that could affect the login screen.
General :: Script Run At Startup Does Not Work Under Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Apr 29, 2011I've got a script than ran fine under Ubuntu 7.10 but I'm having a problem with it under Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. The script runs fine when executed via sudo. The script is in /etc/init.d, it's executable, I registered it with update-rc.d, and (according to ps) it's running. It just doesn't work.
Here's the script:
#!/bin/bash
cd /home/xxxx
while [ true ]; do
kermit -q <pc.kcs
sleep 5
done
kermit is installed and runs properly, the directory /home/xxxx exists, the file pc.kcs exists (remember: the script runs when executed via sudo).
General :: Ubuntu 10.10 Blank Screen On Startup?
Nov 25, 2010and I've had Ubuntu Linux (10.10) for maybe a month and a half now. Im very satisfied with the whole system, no problems up until an update about maybe 2 weeks ago from today (rough estimate). Anyways, when I start my computer and choose to start Ubuntu, about half of the time it will load with some weird new login screen (because of update), and their are other times where the screen will go blank. I dont think its very safe to cut the power from the computer through the power button :/ I realize there are other posts regarding this, and I apologize if this is against the rules, I just thought maybe it would be appropriate to start a thread with this problem for 10.10 users
View 2 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Ubuntu - Create Several Screen Sessions On Startup?
Oct 10, 2010Firstly, what's the best way to execute commands on startup, cron? Can I use su in a shell script to switch between different users, if so how?
How do I create several detached screen sessions on startup? screen -A -m -d -S test ./script.sh seems like it should work but using it in a script started by cron doesn't show any screen sessions running after booting.
It looks like the screen session is closed after the command finishes executing, can I keep it open so I can see the output?
General :: Ubuntu Init.d Script Not Being Called On Startup
Oct 29, 2010I've got a script in ubuntu 9.04 in init.d that I've set to run on start on with update-rc.d using update-rc.d init_test defaults 99. All of the symlinks are there and the permissions appear to be correct
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 642 2010-10-28 16:44 init_test
mike@xxxxxxxxxx:~$ find /etc -name S99* | grep init_test
find: /etc/rc5.d/S99init_test
[code]....
The script runs through source and ./ without issue and behaves correctly. Here is the source of the script:
#!/bin/bash
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: init test script
[code]....
When the machine starts, I don't see "script called" or "start called" in the test.log at all.
General :: Config Service Startup Options In Ubuntu?
Jan 23, 2011I'm not used to using Ubuntu or Debian as a server. I'm more accustomed to Red Hat/Fedora ways and even Gentoo (yikes).
Under Red Hat installs, you can often configure most services that start from init using config files in /etc/sysconfig named by the service. Is there and equivalent thing under Ubuntu?
Specically I'm trying to control how the libvirtd and kvm processes are started as far as command line options go. I need to add the --listen option somewhere.
General :: Run Setxkbmap At Startup?
Feb 23, 2011I have a problem with my keyboard on Kubuntu 10.10. The specifics of the problem are not really relevant right now. I can fix it by running 'setxkbmap br' on the command line. It's good for the entire session (KDE). But I often forgot to do that, so I want to have that done automatically. I tried adding it to my .tcshrc file, it didn't work. I tried adding it to /etc/rc.local, it didn't work. Where can I insert that line and have it run automatically? Please note that my login shell is tcsh, not Bash.

General :: Theme In Ubuntu Not Applied To Menu Bars At Startup
May 30, 2010The theme I have chosen in Ubuntu 10.04 (Ambiance with buttons in the upper right-hand corner) is not applied to the menu bars at boot/login. Menu and title bars should be very dark with a white font. When I boot the computer, the application title bar is correctly formatted, but the main menu bar of gnome and the menu bars of all applications are black font on gray background. When I open the theme selection (in German Einstellungen | Erscheinungsbild, in English likely something like Preferences | Appearance).
The correct theme is applied to menu bars without that I have to select the theme again; simply opening the Appearance dialog suffices. First I did not name my modified theme (showed up as first theme in the theme selection dialog, user modified). In trying to solve the above issue I gave the theme a name, but the strange behaviour persists. Where I can make the theme automatically and completely applied at boot.

Mar 1, 2011I've recently installed virtualenv + virtualenvwrapper on Linux Mint 10 LXDE. For convenience I've added the standard WORKON_HOME settings to my ~/.profile
export WORKON_HOME=$HOME/Envs
source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh
Then I've noticed that workon does not work after login, which means the above commands were not run. If I source ~/.profile then it works. I'm really not sure what could cause .profile not being run? I've checked and I don't have .bash_profile or .

Aug 9, 2011I have a program I have made, and I would like it to run as soon as the system is finished booting. I am using Ubuntu Mini Remix to recreate a LiveCD/USB stick. After booting, it drops me to a command line where I can enter "sudo qct" and it will run my program (which is called qct, and it has to be run as root).I want this to be automated.Instead of going to a command line, I want it to run the program itself at that point. How would I go about doing this? I have read many tutorials about scripting but I cannot seem to get it to work.
