I use to auto start Firefox and Thunderbird. I would like to add others but using a delay. For instance, Firefox starts with 10 seconds of delay, Thunderbird with 30 second an so on. I tried to make a script using "sleep" command, but I am not expert and nothing worked. So, do you know if already exist an application that does this if not, are you able to show me how to create the script?
View 6 RepliesI have it set up to start my music player (RBox) and torrent program (Transmission) when I log in. The problem is all my data is set on my 1TB external hard drive, because my internal hard drive only has 80GBs of space. When I start up the programs open but the external hasn't had time to link the file directories which messes screws up my torrents into having to verify every time and my music has to "recalibrate" as it were.
This isn't an issue when I manually open the programs after a minute or so but what my question really comes down to is... Is there a way to delay an automatic startup? Say, run application 3 minutes into boot up?
I'm having a problem with GDM very similar to the one described in the thread below, though they did not find a solution.

Basically when I boot the machine I first see the terminal login, then after a moment I get what looks like some graphical corruption followed by GDM appearing.
I've already attempted reinstalling GNOME and X, then manually reinstalling GDM, but none have solved the problem. I'm currently in the process of enabling boot logging as described in the thread, so I'll post that soon.
I'm running lucid with a seal shield seal pup keyboard.
when i turn the thing on, after it boots, i have to wait about 2 minutes for the keyboard to start working.
Most applications including flash, znes, have a audio delay about 3 seconds I'm not very experienced with Ubuntu so try not to talk over my head, I'm running on the latest version available from the site desktop version and my computer setup is as follows.

Processor: Intel(R) Celeron(R) 2.53 GHz
80 Gb Harddrive with at least 20gb free
I don't really know where else to find information about this system, so if you need additional information you will need to direct me how to find it.
I've recently installed ubuntu 10.10 again and when I boot it starts in ffy1 console, in which I need to login.After the login in console version it will display the error after this it takes ~30 seconds till the normal graphical login screen I've searching the forum about this problem but haven't encountered the solution anywhere nor the problem itself.And yes I do see the disk errors but that would be during the login on the graphical screen.
View 3 Replies View RelatedAfter GRUB 2 comes up (I'm running Ubuntu 10.10) and I choose the OS to boot, there is about a 5 second delay where nothing appears to happen after I make the selection -- no disk activity. It happens consistently every time I boot. Again, this is after I choose the OS to boot, so it shouldn't have anything to do with the standard delay to allow me to choose the appropriate OS.Is there a good way to troubleshoot this and determine what is causing the delay?

I tried to put a terminal in the desktop using more or less the procedure described in this article:
[URL]
It worked fine, but then I installed avant-windows-navigator and I think it created some conflicts with compiz and other applications.Both the desktop terminal and Skype started to appear in duplicate when I logged in. So I went to the startup applications menu and disabled them both. When I logged back in they both appear only once, but the terminal is in the wrong spot in the desktop.So there are probably some startup registers somewhere that are causing this.i've tried reinstalling compiz and I uninstall AWN and it didn't work.
I've just moved to Ubuntu and using Linux on the desktop in general. I use RHEL on a daily basis for work so don't really have much experience with window managers etc but like to understand how I'm doing what I'm doing. In that regard, I've configured a couple of scripts to be run when I login using 'System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications' but what I want to know is where do these settings actually get stored within the file system?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm having a hard time with my xfce netbook. Yesterday i was adding Tomboy note to my startup applications and i don't know why but since that i'm having a 50 seconds delay between the time i see my wallpaper and icons and the time my startup applications start to load. In this delay my CPU is stable and don't work at all.
Xfce is on my girlfriend netbook too and it seems that we have the same configurations when i look in "session and startup".
I am running Ubuntu 10.10 netbook edition as a virtual machine on a Windows 7 Host laptop. I install VirtualBox guest additions. Then I installed Chromium. I want Chromium to autostart whenever the Virtual Machine (Ubuntu) boots up. When I add the entry (system/preferences/startup) I use the command chromium-browser. It stays there until I reboot. After I reboot it disappears from the startup applications and does not startup like it should.

I know I can go to Startup Applications and add a launcher, but I don't want to have to login as every user and do that. Is there a file I can edit from the command line with elevated privledges? Something I could script, like appending to an XML file or something?
View 2 Replies View RelatedAbout a month ago, I had something go very wrong in my Karmic and my account (with an encrypted home dir) was essentially inaccessible. But I was eventually able to create a new account, and retrieve all my data, but now, for some reason, I cannot edit the 'Startup Applications'.
I open its window and make any changes (which the window seems to accept), but then when I hit close, and restart it, it has been reset to everything I had set from my other account. Which makes little sense.
After that problem, I did have some trouble with permissions of certain files, and am afraid that I inadvertently gave up permissions on my startup applications, but can't imagine what I'd have to do to fix it.some guidance?
Since several months ago (I think when I upgraded to Karmic), whatever program I add to session startup won't load on boot, and no icon appears at the top-right of the screen, only clock and shutdown button (no audio etc.). [URL] didn't help, nor did searching in forums and bugs. I've enabled debug to /etc/gdm/custom.conf, and this is my .xsession-errors first part:

Unable to find a synaptics device .....
I removed .recently-used.xbel to avoid recently opened files to be logged, so this explains part of these errors. I had disabled gnome-screensaver but now I would need it to automate screen lock and looks like dbus may be the problem. My .dbus directory is empty.
what exactly is SSH Agent as listed in Startup Applications? And can I safely disable it? I've read around a bit and get the impression is has to do with others connecting to my machine/network which is not an issue for me as I'm the only user, but I'm not clear.

I have a problem in my Ubuntu box. The applications defined in "Startup applications" fail to start. On another user's account, everything works fine. I think that's some configuration problem.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'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.
Has anyone ran into a problem running Startup Applications from automatic login? I have checked to see that it is not loading in fail-safe mode, and if i disable the automatic login it works fine. The file it is loading is located in my home directory and being executed as
"sh /home/myusername/script.sh"
I noticed that some applications are still in the startup applications list even after i have removed these applications.Would there be any app files left over anywhere / is there a command i can run to clean up the filesystem.Or is it just a case of removing them from the startup app list?
View 3 Replies View RelatedAs the titles says, applications enabled under "Startup Applications" does not show up in the "Notification Area". I can see that the processes are running, like update-notifier and xchat for example, but they have now icon representing them. I don't think I've ever seen an "There are updates available"-icon since I installed 10.10.
Edit: I didn't have any pending updates, so that explains why the update-notification icon's been missing.
Edit 2: Regarding the xchat icon my guess is it's simply loading before the Notification Area applet has, any known way around this?
I have (normal) Ubuntu 11.04 installed and I used the Ubuntu Software Center to install LXDE. I'm stuck on 2 problems though, and I'm not sure how to fix them.1. How do I change key bindings in LXDE?

I have a script that I have set to auto-run on startup in my standard Unity session; I created a script and added it to the startup programs list there. However, I need to remove that script from LXDE ONLY, so that in the Unity session it will continue to run, and in the LXDE session it will NOT run
