Ubuntu :: Auto Logoff Command When Startup App Is Terminated
Dec 17, 2010
I am using Ubuntu as the client machine operating system. I have a start up program to connect to a Windows terminal Server. I am needing assistance in how I can force the client to logoff if the terminal connection is terminated for any reason. This is more of a security issue as we do not want the students using the computer to access the loacl machine at all. The program works great on boot, but it shows the home screen when terminated.

It is really strange as all the work is getting lost in mean of working, is some one has faced such issue.
What is the probable solution for this, any idea ?

I can use this at the end of bash_profile to autorun start x after logging on. code...
But what about to auto logout after killing the X session? I hit exit from fluxbox, but I could add a menu item I suppose to just kill the xsession. Wondering if there is a graceful way to do it with bash_profile.
Also, on a related note, if I switch to dash with the bash_profile method still work?

I know a program running in the background can be brought to the foreground by typing 'fg'. So, if
command_line &
really runs the program in the background, my question has just been answered. But then all reduces to this question (yeah, I know; but I'm asking in earnest): does the ampersand sign make the program run in the background?

Is there a way to set-up Virtualbox to auto-run upon startup.
I am working on my mothers computer and she has to have Windows for Internet Explorer. The websites she has to go on for work require IE6+, and there are a couple programs she has to run that only works with windows may work with Wine.
But she wants something more stable than windows... She has really bad luck when it comes to Windows, so I was talking to her about Ubuntu. After thinking everything over, If I could get her computer to startup with Virtualbox and run Win XP in it all her problems may be solved.She has 2 computers so I can play with one of them to figure it all out and she can play and learn Ubuntu.

I've been trying to unsuccessfully auto-mount my drives when starting up. I've made a script that sets me to the root using "sudo -s" and then mounts the drives. The commands to mount the drives work properly when entered into the command line, but when I try running them from an executable, they don't work. What might I be missing?

I was trying to automount a few NTFS partitions last night. Upon reboot, I got the following error messages.
/device/sda2 ... is not ready or present
/device/sdc2 ... is not ready or present
Then Ubuntu just freezes. I am using Ubuntu Natty, if that helps. I am currently unable to get into Ubuntu without a LiveCD.

I am trying to configure Red Hat ES to automatically start WebSphere Application Server (WAS) automatically upon boot after DB2 services (which already start on boot) are loaded to avoid WAS errors. Note that WAS runs under the jvm so there are processes named WAS or WebSphere when it is running.
My question is, do any of you know a way to setup Linux to automatically start WAS after DB2 services have been successfully started? The web apps running under WAS will have errors if DB2 is not up and running when WAS starts up. I think a 30 - 60 min delay between startup of DB2 and startup of WAS would work perfectly. I am not sure which config file would need to be updated with the call to command to start WAS (I have the command, just don't know where to put it) nor do I know how to ensure DB2 is running before WAS starts in a config file. Right now, I have DB2 loading on boot and WAS starting after I login to xterm.

I have a Broadcom 4312 wireless chip. I have use the STA drivers that Ubuntu recommends. I can connect quite easily just by clicking on the icon, so this is more than a niggle than a problem.
My network isn't protected as we live in the middle of nowhere (quite literally) and network theft isn't a problem. We also run a self-catering cottage, and let guests have free access to our network anyway, so it is easier for guests to access our network without me having to give them all the key. When I did use wpa, it would start itself up with the laptop, so I kind of know that this might be the cause. Is there any way I can fix it without encrypting the network?

I've got an Acer 7736 and had quite a few issues with no sound after my install of 10.10. After quite a bit of fiddling I managed to get that sorted and I now how have sound. I believe I'm using alsa although pulse also does seem to be on here. The reason I say I believe I'm using alsa is that after startup, I have no sound on speakers unless I unmute it in alsamixer.
As I understand it alsa's supposed to save your settings on logout/shutdown/reboot but this doesn't appear to be the case, and I'm not able to find any asound.conf or the like in the places they're apparently supposed to be.

Nautilus mounts NTFS partitions when I acces them, and before mounting, it asks for root password. Is there a method to auto-mount ntfs partitions on Debian startup, without requiring root password each time they are automatically mounted ? And without installing additional packages.

Dropbox will not start properly because my Lucid installation is on a SS HD (/dev/sdc) but my data, including my Dropbox folder is on an internal NTFS-formatted HD (/dev/sda), and I also have another internal HD for backups (/dev/sdb).
For some reason I can get the backups HD to auto-mount on startup, but not the data HD. My fstab file looks like this:

I have edited my /etc/fstab file in order to have it automatically mount a windows network share at startup.
The problem is, that it isn't really working during startup. After I log in, in order to make it mount I have to open the terminal and enter "mount -a".
The following is my fstab file:
Code:
I suspect this has something to do with my laptop not having made a network connection when the entries are mounted, but I'm not sure. How would I go about finding out about any errors?

Sometimes my Ubuntu keeps hanging when Unity crashes, or due to some other reason.
Logging out and logging in again seems to solve this problem, but sometimes I cannot even access the terminal from the Desktop.
Is there any command that I can use from the console so that my session at the desktop environment ends and I log out?
I already tried gnome-session-save --logout but it doesn't work

I work for a public school and we are implementing a number of Ubuntu NBR 9.1 netbooks. I wanted to use Likewise Active Directory for authentication, but have problems with the software so now I'm onto another solution for our problem.
We are going to have one login for all users (Students, is the name). The problem with this is that Website passwords can inadvertantly be stored, potentially compromising users personal data. Additionally, I don't want to have any files left in the Students profile in case people accidentally save personal information in their files.I'm thinking there are potentially two solutions:
1. The Students profile is deleted when the user logs off. This will erase web history and files
2. The Students account is always logged in with a temporary profile (or no profile, if that is possible) that deletes itself at logoff because it is temporary.
I'm having a hard time coming up with search terms for a solution like this, so I thought I would put the question to the experts.

I have a script that is basically a series of rsync commands called bkup_all.sh. This script is located in the /root/ dir.From the command line (su'd as root), I can run the script like this:/root/bkup_all.sh > /var/log/bkup/bkup_$(date +%Y%m%d).logThis excecutes perfectly, and all the rsync adn script output is saved in a log file in the intended destination. However, I want this command to run automatically, so again, su'd as root I enter:crontab -ethen enter the following:00 02 * * * /root/bkup_all.sh > /var/log/bkup/bkup_$(date +%Y%m%d).logI want the script to run each night at 2:00am.But, the script does not run. There is no log file generated and I do not see anything in the syslog or system messages to indicate an error.

When I log in using pam_usb, my session dies abruptly if I unplug the usb drive.I am _not_ runing pamusb-agent.It seems like there may be some issue with policykit, but I'm not sure./var/log/auth.log:
