Ubuntu :: Launching Firefox At Startup?

Nov 8, 2010

I just upgraded to 10.10 and I was previously able to run the following command in startup applications preferences menu "command" box to have firefox launch around the time that my wireless card came up:

sleep 20; firefox

For some reason this doesn't work anymore. I can run the command from the terminal and it works fine. Is there something that I'm missing?

Ubuntu :: Unity Not Launching On Startup?

Jun 21, 2011

I recently recovered Unity after purging the Gnome3 PPA and running a dist upgrade again back to Unity. My problem now is that when I boot into Unity, all I get is the desktop, background and a cursor. I can click on and launch any apps that happen to be on the desktop, but I can't see the unity launch bar, or the action menu, or the top panel - which leads me to believe Unity isn't actually launching. The theory is further supported by the fact that if I launch Unity manually in a terminal ("unity") - it launches, after a brief loading period, and works perfectly. How can I make this happen automatically again?

Ubuntu :: Firefox In Startup Not Working For User?

Feb 11, 2011

I have specified firefox should startup using the following procedure:

System > Preferences > Startup Applications > Add

And used the following details:

Name=firefox
Command=/usr/lib/firefox-3.6.11/firefox-bin

But it doesn't start up. I tried also adding a shortcut to the following location:

/home/USER/.config/autostart/SHORTCUT-TO-FIREFOX

The account I'm trying to get it working on is unprivileged. I'm sure it was working yesterday but can't swear if I had added extra permissions at that stage.

Ubuntu Security :: Firefox Profile In Apparmor Skipped On Startup

Aug 9, 2011

I have quiet splash disabled so I can see what boot processes are run on startup, and I notice that on every time I boot my computer the Firefox profile is skipped. Here's the message: Code: Skipping profile in /etc/ apparmor.d/disable: usr.bin.firefox,I checked /etc/apparmor.d/disable, and see that there is indeed a link to usr.bin.firefox. So I'm wondering how/why it got there. I haven't touched anything in AppArmor since my clean install of Natty.

General :: Firefox Freezes For About 10 Seconds At Startup?

Sep 7, 2011

Every time I launch Firefox and go visiting some websites, I notice it freezes for about 10 seconds. Not always in the same websites, but it always happens sometime in the first 2 or 3 minutes of running. I can see the hard disk led is ON all the time the browser is hung.

My operating system is Linux and I don't currently have any extension/plugin installed here.

I have no form completion, no history and have no more than 20-30 bookmarks.

Has somebody noticed something similar, or know how can I debug this to find out what Firefox is doing or trying to do?

Fedora :: Firefox Graphics Different Depending On Whether It Starts Normally Or From Startup

Apr 22, 2010

trying to get Firefox working properly. I have the tarball installed from Firefox�s site and am using Fedora 12 with KDE as the desktop environment. The problem is if I start Firefox normally, say, by just clicking on the firefox script, then the graphics will be rather crude; but when Firefox starts as soon as I log in (because I�ve configured it to auto-start) then the graphics will be nice and smooth. I�m having a hard time trying to find answers for this because I�m not exactly sure what�s happening? I think when it auto-starts as I log in, it�ll use... well, this is the bit I haven�t got a clue how to explain? I�d guess one time it uses QT, and the other time it�ll use GTK.

I don�t know why it�s doing this, and when it�s started normally and I go to shutdown most of the time it�ll come up with a crash report. There isn�t any difference in the way Firefox is being opened, the auto-start calls upon the same script that my shortcut uses, which is the same as clicking on the firefox script in the firefox folder. I have a few images attached to elucidate the problem. I understand I may not have made myself very clear, but I�m having a great deal of trouble understanding what precisely is going on.

Firefox can seem a bit glitchy when the crude graphics are in use. Like the mouse-overs which leave traces of the box behind when you move the mouse away. So I�m having to logout then back in if I�ve happened to close Firefox and want to reopen it...

Ubuntu :: 10.10 Maverick Startupmanager Not Launching?

Dec 12, 2010

I have installed Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat onto a USB stick. Booting up is fun but it does come up with a load of text and a blue menu screen that hangs around for 5 seconds and then loads up ok.

My challenge is to somehow customise the boot up process. For one I'd like to customise the options that are presented on the initial blue menu boot up screen and possibly to not show the back ground text that presents during the start up process.

I've googles about a bit and am aware that I need to be using startupmanager as the GUI customisation tool of choice. The trouble is that after installation startupmanager doesn't launch.

This is what I've done so far:

1. gone to [URL] and downloaded the startupmanager (1.9.13-5) version of the package.

2. gone to [URL] and downloaded the menu 2.1.44ubuntu1 as looking at the the pre-requisites for startupmanager this was the only one not already installed.

3. from a terminal window executed sudo dpkg -i <the previously downloaded startupmanager package>

4. from a terminal window executed sudo dpkg -i <the previously downloaded menu package>

5. Tried to launch it from the systemadministration menu. Nothing obvious happened.

6. Created a shortcut of the startupmanager shortcut on the desktop and viewed the properties.

7. opened up a terminal windows and launch command su-to-root -X -c /usr/sbin/startupmanager which was originall shown within the startupmanager properties of the shortcut.

From this last terminal command I get the output as follows:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ su-to-root -X -c /usr/sbin/startupmanager
Grub2 detected
Usplash not detected
Splashy not detected

[Code].....

Ubuntu :: Stop Scanner Launching Xsane?

Dec 12, 2010

Whenever I switch on my scanner (Epson V200) then it launches Xsane automatically.
Now I know Xsane is wonderful, but often I want to use Epson's iscan instead, and for other users I prefer Simple Scan. Another thread would be a good place to discuss the reasons.

So I would like to stop my scanner launching anything when switched on.

Ubuntu :: Bash Error When Launching A File?

Jun 8, 2011

This is my problem

bash: /usr/local/uvlayout-pro/bin/headus: No such file or directory

but the file exists. If I uncheck the Allow execute as a program the error is

bash: /usr/local/uvlayout-pro/bin/headus: permission denied

I used the sudo command.

(I tried to change the folder permissions to read and write, cause if I didn't, then the file, when not in nautilus, had an x in the top right of the icon. Before this it didn't work anyway)
