How do you change the order of execution of gnome startup apps?(System - Preferences - Startup Applications) does not seem to have any way to do it.I saw an archived post (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=659420) which offered a couple of ideas... (1) mucking around with /etc/rc2.d/ -- but that seems to be only system-level apps, not user apps; or (2) going to (System - Preferences - Sessions) and mucking around in there -- but I don't seem to have that menu on my system (10.04 LTS running as a guest in vmware player 3.1)I just want vmware-user to run before my gnome-terminals so that the desktop is resized before the terminals run.
I have noticed a few problems when some screenlets are loaded before some others. I think that "Startup Applications Preferences" should have an option to arrange the order of their execution.
I am trying to write a script to set the SGE job execution order. I named each job with 'job1', 'job2' and 'job3'. I want my script to do: When 'job1' execution is complete, 'job2' is executed; when both 'job1' and 'job2' are complete, 'job3' is executed.
First, I tried this following script and it worked well:
I'm not sure if this is a Debian-specific question or a KDE question.

Question: Upon logging in (typically, for the first time each day) I would like to see a console window/shell or a simple terminal-emulator/shell automatically open up.
The reason is: In order to get my .bashrc to execute I have to log-in, then bring up an xterm or some other terminal-emulator.
Background: My .bashrc has a once-per-day routine/section that will set up my desktop to look the way I want it on my initial log-in (primarily with my Java applications up/running and displayed and waiting for me).
Then, later on that day whenever I bring up new bash shells, my .bashrc is executed but that once-per-day routine/section is no longer executed.
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)
How can I change the automatic fsck execution at boot time to be above 30 boots? I reboot the system sometimes 3 to 4 times a day. Intel 3 GHz, tower, i386 lenny vmlinuz-2.6.31-686
I setup a memcached and want to run this file " /etc/init.d/memcached " when the server boots. I do not know where to add this in order to run at start-up(in which file).
I need to start vboxwebsrv and x11vnc on startup with a specific username.I tried entering the commands in rc.local as:/bin/su -c "/x11vnc -forever -usepw -httpdir /usr/share/vnc-java/ -httpport 5800" user1/bin/su -c "/usr/bin/vboxwebsrv -b" user2.But this does not start the app on startup.
I have a Nook ebook reader and would like it to automatically open a certain application when I plug it in.As standard it just opens a nautilus file browser.I cannot find any settings that will let me associate a drive name/uuid with a certain application and google results came up saturated with how to make bootable USB drives.The only solution I actually found was to make a .autorun script in the root of the drive to start my application, but it still requires user interaction and is not ideal since I would like to implement this across several machines with different users/applications.
I've been trying to add applications to my "Startup Applications" menu. Most of the time, they "stick," but sometimes simply disappear, either immediately or after a variable length of time (sometimes more or less immediately, sometimes after several restarts, or anywhere in between). I've noticed that, when they stop booting, their entry disappears from ~/.config/autostart, but changing permissions on the affected files (e.g., removing write access) doesn't seem to help.
Any suggestions? Re-adding the same things over and over gets frustrating after a while, and I can't figure out why these entries are disappearing.Currently running Ubuntu 9.10 on an HP Pavilion dv6000 with an Intel Centrino Core Duo processor and 2 GB of RAM.
I am a new Ubuntu user in Hungary, where we use reverse name orders (perhaps called the "eastern name order"). I mean Hasselhoff David instead of David Hasselhoff. Its quite a big problem for me, especially during syncing with my phone (which finally works now, after a few days of reading and searching...).Is it possible to change that in Ubuntu?
I am new to XFCE and I'd like to ask few question about usage: 1. How can I disable dragging windows through workspaces? I like them to stay at one. 2. How do you configure startup applications? 3. Why XFCE menu doesn't show some of my custom icons? (png, tried more than one, for custom launcher - eclipse) 4. How do I add custom keyboard? (ALT+SHIFT switching) 5. I restarted laptop and all my applications re-opened after restart. I do not want that. How to disable this?
I have a dual boot linux system with Mint 10 and Ubuntu 11. Currently Mint is the first OS in the boot order. How difficult is it to change that config so that Ubuntu is first (or default) and Mint second ?
I'm using Arch Linux with kernel 3.0 and brcmsmac to manage my wireless card. My desktop environment is KDE 4.7 and I use networkmanager to handle network. Recently I've been affected by a weird problem wherein whenever I'm connected to a network Java apps such as jEdit take ~30 seconds longer to start but behave normal once started. What could it be due to and how can I fix it?EDIT:The problem occurs both with Oracle's JRE and OpenJDK, both versions 1.7. I'm behind a HTTP proxy, if that makes a difference.EDIT:I've discovered the cause of this problem. My /etc/hosts file had the wrong host name in it. After correcting this to my hostnameeverything is fine.
I'm currently using an NFS server to share data on our small business network. It works a bit faster than SAMBA, but I do have a problem. NFS takes group id from the first 16 groups a member belongs to when mounted - let's not get into how that doesn't make huge amount of sense
Since I assigned about 6 different groups to our users internally to control directory access, some internal groups do not pass when mounting the server's files (as ubuntu has at least 8 or so groups that are system dependent). Is there a way to change the ORDER of the groups a user belongs to? I see that what gets passed to NFS mount follows exactly the order given when I type "group" when logged in. The groups do not come in alphabetical order or group ID number. I did try changing the order of entries in /etc/group and that also doesn't do anything. Essentially they seem completely random.
I am using Ubuntu 10.04 x64 in a three-boot configuration; the first boot choice screen (the one I would like to change) gives the options of booting to Ubuntu, 3 options I don't understand, and booting to Windows 7. Unfortunately, at least for me, Ubuntu is at the top and is the default. [The third choice is Win XP x32 - but it appears on a separate screen]
My question: How can I make the boot to Windows 7 the default choice?
I want to change the default boot from Ubuntu to windows xp. What file do I need to edit to make that change? In other distros the file is grub.lst but I can not locate that file name in Ubuntu.
I can find the file /boot/grub/grub.cfg that looks like what I need but has a warning "DO NOT EDIT",
My Ubuntu file server sits under a desk and shares files with the network without a hitch, and in a perfect world I wouldn't ever need to shut it down (I reached 6 months uptime once). However, since it occasionally needs service, or additions and needs to be moved, I need to shut down.
The trouble is, the power management system is borked, so whenever I issue "sudo powerff now", the system halts, but the PSU stays on. I usually wait a few minutes after and flip the PSU switch, but I'm never sure if the system is already down.
Is there a way to reorder the way services shut down so that I put SSH last, and therefore know when the system is down when my session is disconnected? Is defaults.rc or whatever responsible for that?
how to change the order of GRUB. I found someone who asked in '06 but I believe the method has changed. I want windows (The bottom on the list) to start without me having to select it.
I am trying to change the default gnu grub boot order to first go to windows 7. I entered gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst and it opened up the file but the file was blank.It didn't show me the 5 or 6 possible choices.
I installed Ubuntu 11.04 as a dual boot system. I am given 5 choices with XP choice 5. Unless I highlight it I will boot into Ubuntu. I used the startup manager, and indicated that XP should be the default OS. Nothing changed. I tried the PySDM storage device manager which lists the partitions, but does not allow me to make changes.
The output from the first command was "sudo: /ect/init.d/gdm: command not found" How can I downgrade, also is it because im running lucid, not karmic koala?
1. I had Win XP, I've installed Ubuntu on another Partition, now Ubuntu starts first, can I change XP to be the first one to load ? And how to do it ?
2. When I have to choose from 2 installed systems on the screen I see, Ubuntu, Testmem and Windows XP, can I rename Windows XP title to something else ? And how to do it ?
