Software :: Start And Stop Xscreensaver From Cronjob?

Sep 5, 2010

Im running ubuntu 10.04 lts. Ive been struggling with automating a screensaver to come on and off at shceduled times. all is working fine except I cannot seem to get xscreensaver to start from cron. when i run it manually i need to use:

xscreensaver & and then hit enter. I'm not sure whats happening as i only get the line that it ran in my logs but no error. i am using xset to turn the display power on and off, then xscreensaver-command -activate and deactivate, after loading the xscreensaver daemon. everything automated works fine except starting xscreensaver daemon. if i run the same commands manually it works fine. if i leave the xscreensaver daemon running and shutoff display with xset it will come on again unless i kill xscreensaver. fyi what im trying to do: my linux file/web/music server is on a tablet netbook and i flipped the screen around and am trying to also use it as a digital picture frame. which works fine, i just dnt want to run it needlessly 24/7

Ubuntu :: X And GDM Not Starting Automatically?

Dec 12, 2010

played around with Plymouth Manager yesterday, and today, my system would not start. I got some help from #ubuntu, and to my surprise, startx ran without problems. sudo service gdm start also worked perfectly. However, when I boot up my computer, I am always taken to the recovery screen. How can I stop this from happening, get my boot screen back, and make everything work as it should?I'm on Ubuntu 10.10 32-bit with an nVidia GeForce 8800 GT and version current on the nVidia restricted drivers.

What is the proper way to stop tftpd from starting up? There is no numbered rc script symlink for it so I can't use update-rc.d. I don't want to just hack a file unless that is considered "the way".

Ubuntu :: Bash Not Starting Automatically?

Apr 28, 2010

everytime i open a terminal window, all i see is:

$ _

and i have to type bash everytime to get it running. i found a bandaid fix by having it type bash at the "custom command" profile preference... but i still consider the problem to be unsolved, because i still have to manually type 'bash' whenever i log remotely (putty). it seems like something happened, and now bash is not loaded by the terminal by default like it should.

PS: i already tried 'cp /etc/skel/.bashrc ~./bashrc', and it didn't seem to do anything.

I am using Ubuntu 9.10, fairly fresh install. Had one hard reset since I installed it, which could be when the problem started. Also, I was messing a bit with profiles, switching their ID's and adding/deleting them (not sure if that would be the problem).

OpenSUSE :: Sound Turns Automatically On While Starting The Pc?

Mar 8, 2010

i run opensuse 11.2 with kdebase4-4.3.5-0.1.1.x86_64 on a hp elitebook 8530w. when i start opensuse and the sound is initially turned off, it will be turned on while starting. if i turn it of manually (by pushing the appropriate button) it will be turned on again. I assume that there is a script like .bashrc for bash scripts which tells the system to turn on the sound. Does anyone knows whether there is such a script and if yes, where can i find it and edit it?

Ubuntu :: Starting X Automatically In A Minimal Install?

Aug 24, 2010

I'm moving a homebrew arcade cabinet I have in my sitting room over from Gentoo to Ubuntu. Gentoo's served me well for a couple of years, but it refuses to recognise a touchscreen I recently installed on the cab, so I thought I'd give Ubuntu a try.

There is very little space on the SATA DOM inside the board in the cab, so I try and put as little OS on there as possible. To that end, I installed the minimal iso, and then apt-got X. I manually configured xorg.conf to make both monitors attached to the cab work, and I can enter X fine from the command line.

But what I need to do is have X start on powerup and automatically run my game. In Gentoo this is as simple as putting "xinit [GAME]" into /etc/init.d/local.start (the equivalent of rc.local). No login required, the prompt didn't even come up until I'd exited the game.

However, if I try and do this in Ubuntu, X can't find any devices, even though rc.local is at position 99. I've tried putting the lines in rc.local as well as manually update-rc.d-ing my own files, but no luck. X refuses to start until after the login.

So what seem to need is some way of automatically logging in as root on the command line, starting X, then running my game.

Ubuntu Networking :: Stop Network Manager From Starting On Boot?

Jul 10, 2011

I would like to stop network manager from starting up on boot. I have tried moving

Code:
/etc/init.d/network-manager stop
to rc.local and it did nothing but boot me into the CLI

I have also tried to put

Code:
sudo service network-manager stop and that did nothing also.

After I get network manager to stop on boot up. How do I make it so it will not auto connect to networks? My computer keeps on joining a different network on boot up. And I don't like this as some times I go to my banks website and I am on there network with out realizing it (because of the auto connect) Is there a way to stop this also?

OpenSUSE Network :: Nfs No Longer Starting Automatically With Wifi?

Jul 27, 2010

Running openSuse 11.2-64 on a DualCore / 2Gb machine.I have 3 nfs shares described in my /etc/fstabAll three were mounted at boot time when I was connecting to the network through the wired interface (eth0).I need to use the wireless interface, and even if that interface is up and running well (I use ifup), the nfs client doesn't start... if just after boot I do a mount -a or simply a nfs start, everything comes up and runs well.This machine will not be used by myself, and the users cannot just jump into a command line and type nfs start or even mount -a (they would need su privileges...)I have disabled the eth0, killed the eth0 config (with yast) edited /etc/sysconfig/nfs and setted the NFS_START_SERVICE to yes to force the gssd and idmapd to always start even if there was no nfs entry in fstab, but nothing changed.

Ubuntu :: Queue - Prevent From Starting Automatically Upon Logging In?

May 8, 2010

I have a couple apps that I cannot figure out how to prevent them from starting automatically upon logging in. They are NOT listed in my Startup Applications under preferences. For example, pidgin. Pidgin automatically starts at each login even though it is not in the startup apps nor can I find an option in pidgin itself. Tomboy is another. I always get an error that tomboy cannot be added to my panel when I restart. The error in the tomboy panel log is that tomboy is already running. Does ubuntu have a hidden "start up" folder like Windows does in the start menu? Where can I clear this file/folder?

Ubuntu :: Not Automatically Starting Smbd (upstart Event)

Jan 9, 2011

I have posted this somewhere here before and solved it but can't seem to find it. Just waisted 50 minutes googling and checking man pages for upstart. By the way; are man pages written by someone using their tows to type and getting beaten by a stick for every character they type? It seems missing a lot of info. Anyway, I know smbd is started with /etc/init/smbd.conf and there is a line like:

Code: start on local-filesystems Now it needs to be started on? (manually) I can't seem to find any useful information but did seem to find the upstart man pages a hundred times or so (same info same missing parts). I would love to get involved writing documentation for these things if only I know what I was doing.
