General :: Run Setxkbmap At Startup?
Feb 23, 2011
I 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.

I'm trying to execute a custom setxkbmap command upon startup so that I have the correcty layout when logging in.
I have tried placing the command in different files after reading through the man pages for Xsession, Xsession.options, xinitrc etc.
~/.gnomerc
~/.xsession
~/.xinitrc
but to no avail.

I've only recently learned how to use the "Multi_key" function of the X windows system... I learned how to set a compose key from: [URL]... Which I found via google. It gave both directions for defining a compose key in the xorg.conf file. which method did NOT work for me on Arch Linux even after a full reboot. I'm not all that concerned about that however, because I find the temporary setxkbmap method more appealing anyway. A simple ~/bin bash script which if $1 begins with -h will less /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose and will otherwise run the command
[code]...
IF I use the above setxkbmap command to enable a Multi_key, is there also a setxkbmap command I could issue to disable it?

When I change my keyboard with setxkbmap I want to see the updated layout via xkbprint, however xkbprint always seems to print the same thing regrdless of any changes i make. Am I missing some option or something?"xkbprint :0" before viewing it?

To reeanable CTRL-ALT-BKSP (since 11.2), you use:
setxkbmap -option terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp
It works. However if you map keys with xmodmap, it's gone. In whatever order you use them, setxkbmap and xmodmap are always conflicting. Running xmodmap immediately disables CTRL-ALT-BKSP, while running setxbbmap reverses key mappings to their default.

Is it possible to mount a partition on the hard drive that somehow is also scanned along with rc.local (or wherever the appropriate startup files go)? I want to boot a live image and have something automatically run but I can't change any files in the Live Image.

I'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 .

I want to measure the startup time of any GUI app (e.g. firefox) using the time(1) command. However, timing is measured until the app is closed, which has to be done manually by exiting it or clicking X.
How can I get the app to load, terminate immediately and give me the startup time?

my problem is that an application which I want to start at the startup is creating some problems if it is started at the startup. But if it is started after a few seconds or say a minute of the startup, it doesn't cause any trouble.

I have an embedded box on which I am developping a driver using a linux kernel. I frequently need to reboot it and relogin as root.
I wounder whether I can modify the boot sequence so that it directly boots into a bash belonging to user 'root'.
I know that this represents a security issue -- looking at my "use case" this is of concern.

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

I had windows vista on one partition, xp on another documents on another and programs on another.When I installed ubuntu on a new partition it very kindly let me see all the other partitions and mount them as necessary. I would like all my ubuntu files, documents music downloads to go right on to the documents partition so when I back up that drive to an external I have it backs up the documents drive it has all the files I have created in vista or ubuntu. Eventually I want to leave windows completely but I would still want to store all the ubuntu files on the documents drive.
I can go to "places" and mount the documents drive but what I would like to do is when I fire up ubuntu that the documents drive mounts automatically.

I 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.

I want to start a service and a script SiteMonitor.sh at startup.
Here is brief working of SiteMonitor.sh(This script monitors the ip addresses of machines which are using http service of the host. This script checks this after every 5 seconds therefore i have run it at background.)
To start with i have modified /etc/rc.local file.
Here is the content of my /etc/rc.local file.
Code:
#!/bin/sh
#
# This script will be executed *after* all the other init scripts.
# You can put your own initialization stuff in here if you don't
# want to do the full Sys V style init stuff.
[Code]....
