I have connected my TV (and my regular screen) to my Ubuntu 9.10. I use TwinView, and that works just fine. I have also installed Moovida (I love that program). And I would like my PC to open Moovida on startup, but I need it to be on the TV screen.

I tried just this, and while there was no error at startup it appears the program had no effect. It is a shell execution to set my screen-blanking time. The program does work once I am up and running though. I am using Linux Mint 8 on a T30 Thinkpad.

My Operating System:

Programs at StartUp:
- Mozilla Thunderbird (2 email-accounts for business)
- Emesene (MSN Client for business use)
- FireStarter (I know it's just the GUI, but i love to view the Logging at realtime since Ubuntu is the Main-Server in my network)
Is it possible to configure the startup, so that the programs start running AFTER the Network Connection is established?
I cannot figure how to make a program start-up when Ubuntu boots. I want the "sudo firestarter" command to run so the firestarter icon appears in the panel.

How would I go about doing this? I have read many tutorials about scripting but I cannot seem to get it to work.

I have a dedicated server which runs a game server. On that dedi, I had Debian installed, and I wanted to have graphical access to it so I installed Gnome and nxserver. I want the game server to run automatically when the server boots up and have it appear in a console window when I connect to nxserver. So I added it in the Startup list by going in System > Administration > Session.
My problem is that the program doesn't start when the system boots up, but only when I connect to nxserver. So I assume it is something like gnome not starting up or opening a session until I open one remotely or something such.
But is there anyway to have that game server start in a console window when the system starts up? I tried using init.d but the problem is that it doesn't open any window, and I need to interact with the server through the console. What can I do?
I have no idea what to do to get Twinview to work. I had found a bit of code to paste into the xorg.conf file but after I pasted it in and restarted my computer, but it wouldn't boot up. Whenever I open up the "Monitors" dialog under System>Preferences, it doesn't even see that the second monitor is there! It doesn't matter if I go to the default tool or if I go to nVidia's tool. On the nVidia tool, under X "Server Display Configuration", there is a button "Configure...", when I press it, it asks "How should this display be configured?". The options "Twinview" and "Disabled" are both unselectable and the only one that I can select is "Separate X Screen". It's almost like my computer doesn't know that I have a second monitor plug.
I am running Ubuntu 10.04.
My xorg.conf:
Code:
Section "Device"
Identifier "nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200]"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "NvAGP" "1"

Recently i've installed 10.10 and have a problem with flickering screen on VGA. I have 64-bit release, ge force 210, nvidia propietary drivers and two monitors:
- AOC_1920*1080_60_DVI
- Philips_1280*1024_75_VGA
- nvidia-current, 260.19.12, 2.6.35-22-generic, x86_64: installed
No matter which monitor is attached to VGA, it flickers randomly every couple of minutes. Sometimes it flickers when i use mouse or keyboard, but sometimes it flickers by itself.
Here is my question:
I recently installed Ubuntu 10.10 (32bit) on an HP compaq nc6400 laptop (internal display is 1280x800, graphics card is an Intel Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express) which I am using in three situations: In my office: external monitor (1280x1024), laptop in docking station with lid closed At home/on travel: as it is, without any external monitor When giving lectures: with projector (1024x786), lid open, same output on projector and internal display As you see, I either want one output device only or both showing the same output. Additionally, I want to run compiz. My problem is that, whenever I (1) connect an external display or (2) when I press the Fn+F4 key to change displays or (3) sometimes even when I open/close the laptop's lid, the system at some point switches to TwinView which seems not to work with compiz on my system. The effect is that compiz is deactivated. When I want to have it back, I have to open the appearance settings and change to extra visual effects again. Unfortunately, that reverts compiz to default settings and I have to adjust my compiz settings again. note that compiz works properly in all three situations I listed above. The problem is "only" that, at some point, it switches to TwinView.
Is there a way to tell X or compiz NEVER TO CHANGE TO TWINVIEW?
The "System Settings/Startup Programs" window is large enough but the "Program" column is too narrow and it cannot be resized. The window can be dragged to make it larger but not the individual columns. It looks like a Java listbox with "Enabled = false" set. This occurs in Debian8 64 bit and also in Mint 17 and Mint LMDE2. I am surprised nobody else has raised the issue. I have a basic setup with 22" screen and 1680 x 1050 resolution. It occurs with Nouveau and NVidia drivers. It is not a critical bug so I have coped with it for 2 years but it would be nice to see it fixed. Unfortunately I could not upload a screen shot as "board attachment quota has been reached".
