Ubuntu :: Autostart Applications Not Remembered?
Mar 27, 2011
I have been trying to stop some apps from starting up like bluetooth manager etc but everytime I untick it and then reopen the startup applications preferences it is still ticked!
I also have been trying to get Awn Dock to autostart so I add it and set the command as avant-window-navigator but the next time I reopen it is not there, I have also tried checking the tick under the Awn Dock Preferences - "Start Awn automatically" but this doesn't stick either - all the other setting do though. I have looked in the ~/.config/autostart folder and that has a Padlock on it with the owner as root - should this be the case or should I change permissions on it to myself?

I'm testing a beta release of Lubuntu 10.04 on an old laptop and am very impressed. I'm able to autostart applications by adding icons to the ~/.config/autostart directory but have yet to discover where I can autostart command line applications such as xbindkeys and htop.
Which hidden file needs to be edited to autostart xbindkeys and htop? (In openbox I would have edited ~/.config/autostart.sh)

I use a Toshiba L300 Laptop and an Acer Aspire Netbook. After recent upgrades to Lucid I have to use the terminal to access alsamixer and turn up the sound on both when I boot-up. I have to do this every-time I boot up as it doesn't remember the change.

For a few days ago I turned on the Remember Programs thing in the startup manager. Now I can't turn it off. I use ubuntu 9.10.

I've recently acquire a new HDD and I've decided to use it for multimedia files.
So I've edited my fstab so it mounts this disk at startup.
What's more important, I've bind the folders in that disk (i.e. media/theDisk/Music) to a folder in my home directory (i.e. /home/me/Music) so I can have all the folder mounted at home (Mount the disk in /home/user is not possible because Nautilus start to whim about not being able to set some files in .nautilus or something, I believe its because it does not know which disk to save to or something like that)
So everything works fine, except for folder icons. When I open the home directory, all folders in the disk are shown with the Desktop default icon. Even if I change them (whether from home or from the mounted disk) the next time I open the home directory they are shown with the Desktop icon. Emblems are lost too.

How to I get linux to stop prompting me for a password and remember it? For instance, when using the root user, I always get prompted, but I would rather only be prompted once per user session.

So if you are a PHP-programmer (average one) and code for money, how many of funtions and operators of PHP should you remember by heart (in real life)? I was looking through php.net and man there are millions of tons of them!

My Ubuntu is the latest, Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit.
I have 2 hard drives, one holds windows (160gb), another has three partitions, 15gb for ubuntu 10.04, 5gb for swap, and the remaining 480gb formatted as ntfs for files..
The 480gb space is drive D:, my files are located there and i point the apps to get their files from drive D:. For example, "My Music" folder is in drive D:, and so I tell SongBird to grab the music files from that directory.
It's not a big problem, but whenever I restart ubuntu, drive D: does not automatically open so SongBird initially cannot locate the files. What I want to happen is that when ubuntu starts, drive D: is already loaded, so that the applications can grab the files they need from that drive automatically without me having to manually open drive D: everytime ubuntu starts.

I feel shy asking this question but, 90% of the applications I install in Ubuntu (last release), do not show up later on in the applications menu, so I cant run them. I know it seems silly, but I can't find the way to handle this inconvenience. Is there a place (like Start> All programs in Windows), were I could find and run all the programs I install?

I was wondering if there was any way to remove icons from the installed applications menu?I recently attempted to install GOG.com's Zork Anthology using Wine and when I de-installed, the icons for those files were still listed in installed applications. Is there anyway to delete them manually?

I have a java application that is in this path: java -jar /home/jbo10/.stuff/run.jar
If I type that command the gui comes up and it's ready to run. I want this program to autostart with ubuntu, so I went into gnome-session-properties and put that command in there.
But it's not starting. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong or if there's another way to autostart programs?

I am working on a custom install preseed. Part of the process is creating a file: /home/bholt/.config/autostart/starter.sh
That way on first boot, this will execute and continue my custom process.
But it does not start. After boot if I go double click it it runs fine.
And one time it did auto start correctly. But I don't know what I did to break it.
All i can think is I changed starter.sh to in turn start something else rather than just run itself.

i understand autostarting an app is done at setting > session and startup > application autostart.
where is the vlc app located?
i've tried
usr/share/vlc.ico
&
usr/share/vlc.desktop
none of those two have worked.

Isn't Lubuntu FAB! And it's very easy to customise...once you know how.
It took me a while to discover how to auto-start applications, so I thought I'd share this with you.
To autostart an application for all users
Edit the autostart file as root by typing in a terminal code...

HomePipe (www.homepipe.net) a site that lets you access folders on your PC remotely just came out with a Linux client.
I have successfully installed this on my Ubuntu 10.10 machine and it seems to be working well.
My problem is, I can't figure out how to have the agent autostart when I boot.
Currently, to launch the agent, I need to open a terminal, change to the directory where the agent is installed, then run this command:
I assume it should be fairly simple to add this to the Startup Applications, but being a noon I can't figure it out!

When i log into to a non root(user) mode, i am always greeted by a small terminal window before the desktop starts up. Also, after desktop starts a new window opens which displays the contents of my windows desktop.
I am unable to stop this from happening. I am running Ubuntu 10.10(32 bit) along with Windows 7(64 bit) on different partitions.

I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 using the minimal CD. I then installed Openbox and everything is working so far, except for tint2. I tried to put it into the autostart.sh in /home/noneofthem/.config/openbox, but it doesn�t exist there. Instead I found another version in /etc/xdg/openbox/. Changes to that version don�t seem to work either.

What would be the best way to autostart mpd when I login? I guess it wont be necessary to run as root so it should only auto start when I login with my details either from cli or xfce?

Hardware:
Toshiba Satellite A505D-S6958
Wireless: Realtek 8192e
Ubuntu 10.04, x86
lspci
I was using ndsiwrapper with XP driver, but always prefer to Linux drivers if they are available. So, I emailed Realtek web support and they sent me latest drivers for Ubuntu 10.04. I followed their instructions and it works great! With, the exception of, I have to run ./wlan0up each time after I login to start the wireless.
I seem to remember having to modify a file some place, which was very easy to do, but for the life of me I cannot seem to remember what it was or what to put into it? and also, how do you tell if your wireless card is making use of the "n" speed, if the network your are on has it available?

I installed KDE for very limited uses. However, everytime I start up, it brings me to the KDE login screen. I want to revert it back to console login. How do I go about doing that? And if possible, prevent future GUI packages from autostarting. so this seemed to work:
Code: sudo mv -f /etc/init/kdm.conf /etc/init/kdm.conf-disabled That basically renames it so it doesn't start. And if you do need to use the GUI, just run startx

Here's a neat trick on how to get Evolution and Empathy to start up when you log into gnome. This also hides Evolution to the Indicator Applet, the way it should be.
Install alltray
apt-get install alltray
then
Go to Systemreferences:Startup Applications and add the following
Name: Empathy
Command: empathy -h
Name: Evolution
Command: sh -c "sleep 10 ; alltray -na -nt evolution"

I am running a RAID 6 array via mdadm and I cannot make it autostart and automount at boot which is fairly imperative for a server config.I am running the latest build of regular Ubuntu and not server, mostly because I have some other tasks for it that kind of requires a GUI, amongst that virtualization that I have so far working correctly.Can anyone provide me with proper instructions on how to get the array running properly?I found a few guides, added some things to the mdadm.conf which was supposed to be the end of it, however the array still doesn't start and let alone automount.
