I wonder how to set my computer to connect to a server on start up. I hate to reload my pictures in shotwell every start up. I can connect through ssh connection, but I want it done automatically on start up. I'm not an expert, so break it barny style, or link me to a guide that I haven't found yet. Ubuntu 10.10 64Bit

It mounts to: /media/Will's Drive
I feel like I shouldn't have to edit fstab or anything like that. If I can add it to my startup programs, that would be great, I just need to know the command to get nautilus to open up /media/Will's Drive at startup.
What should be added to the fstab file? I want to automount partitions sda2 (HFS+) and sda5 (FAT32) at startup.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm making a clever backupsystem based on nfs and rsync.Basically, I export folders from the clients to a backup server, and the backup server processes them and makes backups.The backupserver mounts the folders during startup, but if a client restarts, then I guess it would unmount from my backupserver, right?What can I do to make it automount the folder whenever the client gets back up again?All the clients are static servers without much interferance, without any risk of external people tampering with them and without internet access. Security is not an issue, and any kind of shady compromisingcripts will do.However, installing software on them is tricky as I have to download packet for packet and transfer them via usb manually.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI currently got Ubuntu 10.0.4 server edition running on my server. I got 2 network cards in it. One for (eth0) the pppoe connection and the other one (eth1) for dhcp and network.
When i installed dhcpd3 server a couple of days ago, it wouldn't start. So i searched the web and came on the conclusion that i have to do " sudo ifconfig eth1 down sudo ifconfig eth1 up 192.168.0.1"
Problem is i don't have connection with this pc all the time. So if i have to restart it, the dhcp server won't start.
I have an old Linksys WUSB54G USB wireless card lying around, and occasionally I like to use it as an access point for my laptop. For assigning IP addresses I use dhcp3-server. The only problem is that the server attempts to start itself up on boot, which I do not want- I want to start it up manually if I need it. how to disable this service on boot?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI run ubuntu 9.10, and my wife runs winxp. I am trying to setup an automount of her storage (D) drive in my fstab. here is the line in fstab:
The share mounts with no errors, but when i go into palces and view the share, it is blank, totally empty. I can create and delete documents here, but the next time I open the share, i cant see anything. If i connect to the share using places>connect to server, everything is fine. If i connect using places, network, and browse to her machine, it works just fine.
Today i did a fresh install of karmic, installed smbfs, added the above line to fstab, same issue. I have searced and searched but I haven't found a problem exactly like this. This setup has been working fine until sometime recently. I cant be sure exactly when it stopped working, or why. The reason I need it to automount is I have several applications that point to that drive. It is worth noting i have tried several variations on the line in fstab, all with the same results.
This computer is a little netbook that I haul around with me. it's running ubuntu 9.10. In the office, I have a NAS networked on a Windows network. I can access the filesystem in Nautilus using Samba. I'm connecting to the network wirelessly, at wlan0.The folder I want to access shows in Nautilus as
smb://diskstation/storage%20central/
And in Terminal it shows as:
Code:
jackelliott@TheJackUbuntuNetbook:~$ ls .gvfs
storage central on diskstation
How can I set ubuntu up so that when it has connected to the office network it also automounts that Windows share?
In 9.10 I could access my auto-mounted network location with something like /home/user/.gvfs/sharename. This was particularly useful for F-Spot because that's the only way I could get it to import photos from my server.However, in 10.04 I no longer have a .gvfs folder and can't find a way to import photos from my server in F-Spot.

I have 4 machines; all multiboot. I want each machine to have full rw access to file shares on each other machine, AND, full rw access to the other partitions on the same machine home folder for UNbooted OS's. I imagine Samba will NOT handle all these configurations? What else do I have to do, so that, for example, if I have 2 machines on, and I boot up a third machine in another room, it will auto mount the other 2 machines' shares, and it export it's own shares to the other 2 machines? I want also each machine to have full rw access to shares on the UNbooted partitions of each machine.

I bought a Buffallo Router WZR-HP-G300-NH with NAS, and I am able to mount the NAS with the "Connect to Server" drop down menu in Nautilus as a "Windows Share". All good so far. The eventual idea is that I would like to write my backups to this NAS drive. I can't find this drive in /mnt or /media. Not sure where to look. Because I can't find it in anything other than Nautilus, I can't direct a backup or sync to a location I can't find. If I can solve this problem, the next thing I will need to do is figure out how to automount on startup.
I am using several Ubuntu based Gnome distributions of various ages, oldest about 10.4, all behave the same (one Zorin, another Mint, another Ubuntu, 3 kids, no viruses!!!).

View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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 multiple ssh tunnels that I need to run on startup. Does anyone know a working way to do that? I have tried creating a script and putting it in all sorts of directories (/etc/init.d/, /etc/, /etc/network/if-up.d/). I have also tried appending the commands to /etc/rc.local but nothing works. The script is actually executed in all these places because I tried putting a simple mv command in there and that was executed but these ssh tunnels won't be constructed. My script looks something like this:
#! /bin/sh
xterm -e ssh ....... &
xterm -e ssh ....... &
xterm -e ssh ....... &
I also have another program that I would like to run along with the ssh tunnels. The program needs to be run as root, but that won't work either.
