Software :: Make An Application Startup On Boot Time And Instantly Minimize?
Nov 12, 2010
Me and my mom are sharing a laptop.My mom likes to use Google Chrome. I like to use Opera. Is there any way I can tell the system to start the Opera application , but then instantly minimize it to the tray bar? I want that because : if my mom starts the computer and I'm not around , I still want all the tabs in my Opera to load , without my mom knowing anything about my "malefic" plan ...
An application that can make sound equalization but I couldn't find any powerful tool so I decided to do one my self I know it will be very hard task but their is no other solution my program will do some audio effects like (echo, repeat, trible, bass, filtering, fading,...)and (fft,addition,....), I will take the signal from the mic and put it on the speaker after my operation is done I think I must take into consideration that application is a real time but i don't know what to do! i don't know should I use java or C/C++! I don't know how to deal with the audio driver (take signal from mic and put it on the speaker)
I am writing one simple server daemon and running with /etc/init.d/server its running properly but when i want to run one simple QT GUI with system() function , its not able to run it and returning 256 as return code .
If same daemon i m running from terminal then its working properly and also system() function is getting success with return value 0 and GUI is getting popped up.

I use slackware 13.1 with KDE 4.4.3 When I minimize an application windows, I don't see it no more in my task bar but the system Monitor still show me this application is running. and I can only see it again using

show application window in the system monitor.Otherwise I have to run it again and then my data are losted.
recently installed via synaptic some packages about netbook to try the new appearance. Having decided that I didnt like it, I chose to revert, by uninstalling those packagesMy problem now is that on every application I execute, the icons that are usually found on top right of the screen (minimize, maximize and close) cannot be seen and, if I want to shut an application down I must do it via control q or control w depending of the application. I mean every application, be it firefox, opening folders on the hard drive, open officeIt may be that there is still a package I must uninstall.
I am using GNOME Ubuntu 64 bit Lucid Lynx with Cairo Dock, Compiz Fusion, Screenlets
Sometimes when I start up linux the buttons to close, maximize, and minimize windows and the Application title bar disappear. Restarting usually fixes the problem.
Do you have any ideas why this would happen? Is there a command that will restart gnome without having to restart the computer?
I just installed 5.6 using the x86_64 netinstall - all appeared to go well, albeit a little slowly. At the end of the install i rebooted the machine but CentOS won't load. If I select the CentOS option from grub (only other option is 'other') the machine instantly reboots.
Only options selected for install where 'server' and 'server gui'.
Editing the CentOS options shows the following but I've no idea whether this is correct or not (assume it is):
so as my title implies I like to login to my headless debian box after it reboots yet havent found any info on that. Can someone please tell me of script which I suppose would be used to make vino start as a process right after boot

I was messing with the color for the panels and some how every time I minimize a window the tab never shows on the bottom or the top panel, you know to reopen it. It just disappears and then I have to reopen the program.
How to make the system boot faster by removing the idle time between 5s to 10s? bootchart attached. It is Ubuntu10.04LTS by the way. One more hint, the screen black out for ~4s after "Begin: Running /scripts/init-bottom... Done." I don't know what is going on during that 4s, but my best guess is there is a way we can get rid of it. Bootchart can be found here:
How do I make an application launcher in the panel launch more than one application? Is there some sort of a symbol I type between the apps in the command line? Like ;
I am relatively new to scripting, but I was wanting to open a firefox window from a bash script, but have it open, then minimize. In the script, I have a single instance of: firefox & but is there a way to minimize it, versus have it displayed on the screen? I was wanting the command terminal to remain visible and it can't since the firefox window is open in front of it. I looked all over the place, including the man pages, but to no avail. I can make the height and width changes, but no minimize. Either that, or to be able to bring the terminal window back to the front automatically.
trying to make a startup script that executes a simple php script at boot. The stipulation is that it must be run after fstab is processed because it requires access to a volume that fstab mounts. As it is, it doesn't seem to be running properly at startup, and I suspect that it is simply running before the volume is mounted. The script does not need root access. If I run it once I login, it works fine.
Also, is there a way to determine the output of a startup script?I am have configured a bash script called module.sh that cd's to the scripts directory (in the external volume) and then executes the script. I didn't forget the ampersand after the php invocation. I used update-rc.d module.sh defaults to configure it.
My computer has different time when booting to linux or Windows.How to make the time the same?My computer time is 10:57pm Apr 14 when booting to linux.My computer time is 2:57am Apr 14 when booting to Windows Vista Home Premimum SP2.Both OS are set to the same time zone (GMT-5. Eastern Time US & Canada).
I am quite aware that one can add a startup application to the gnome session by going to System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications (Sessions). But, is there a way to achieve the same thing via the terminal? I want to know because I am writing a simple bash script that installs all of the programs I commonly use. One such program is compiz fusion with fusion-icon.And so I want to add the fusion-icon into the gnome session with my script (strictly within the terminal).
I am trying to run my tomcat 5.5 at startup.. I went to System-->Preferences-->Startup applications and entered the command to launch my script: /bin/sh /home/marco/apache-tomcat-5.5/bin/catalina.sh run
But when i restart ubuntu, my tomcat does not run and i dont know where to find the proper logs to see what happened.
how to get Vuz installed properly and running, however I would like to make it start the gui interface automatically on login/startup and minimized. I tried adding it to the SYSTEM->PREFERENCES->STARTUP APPLICATIONS as that seemed the obvious way to do it, however it does not startup automatically after I restart the system.
I am running: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Java 1.6.0_18 Sun Microsystems Inc. SWT v3555, gtk Linux v2.6.32-23-generic, i386 Vuze V4.3.0.6/4 az3
I am running Unbuntu 10.10 on a HTPC, and also XBMC. With some effort it worked ok, sounds, remote etc. Via systems>preferences I managed to add XBMC to the startup. It now starts when I start the PC. However it sort-of hijacks the PC, so the WiFi does not start among other things. Also I am no longer able to log into the desktop, so I am not able to emove XBMC from the start-up of the computer. If I exit XBMC I get to the log-in screen for the desktop, but when I log in it starts XBMC directly.
How can I remove it via the terminal? I cannot find a .config directory, any autostart, any .xsession, .xinitrc or anything else that looks like startup-script. How can I get access to my desktop again?
I have downloaded Ubuntu within windows 7, with wubi. It shows itself as Ubuntu 10.10, though I had selected 11.04, not to worry, this is for information only. I downloaded Q Cad, a drawing programme from the Ubuntu software centre and it shows in the list but I do not know how to launch it.I will have to down load some more applications and I think I will run into this wall again. I can enter CLI through Ctrl+Alt+F1 to F7 and probably do nothing more.
My karmic install locks up whenever I try to launch an application. Open office, firefox, doesn't really matter. about the only thing that works consistently is terminal.
I like to use Tilda in transparent mode. In Karmic I just added tilda to the startup applications and everything worked well. Now in Lucid, it starts up before Compiz and I don't get Compiz transparency. I have to quit Tilda and load it again before I get the transparency right. Is there some way to force tilda to start after Compiz? (I have tested this on several comps. it seems to hold true)
I want to launch qiv upon startup to show a series of photos in slideshow fashion (this will be the sole purpose of this particular laptop). I tried adding the command via System->Preferences->Startup Applications but this does not produce the desired result. In fact, the slide show doesn't even start.
I have an embedded PC104 application where I am trying to get my program to start automatically at power up. The program contains a graphical user interface, using an old SVGALIB (no longer supported). It works fine if I start it after log in.But when I put the path in rc.local, it will only run if I disable all the graphical stuff. The program bunts if it looks ahead and sees the call to vga_setmode(), where I set it for 480 x 640 resolution.
