Ubuntu Servers :: WPA_Supplicant Auto Start & Change To Rc.local Stuck At Boot
Aug 1, 2011
I have tried different methods to auto start wpa_supplicant at boot on Ubuntu Lucid server on a laptop which can't be connected to Ethernet.
The only thing that worked is adding the wpa_supplicant command before exit0 in rc.local. It solve my problem of wpa_supplicant auto start and annoyance on not be able to ssh before local login. But the screen stuck at Ubuntu Logo. How can i get pass Ubuntu logo screen to regular tty or xbmc in future?

I am currently running a VPS with Ubuntu Server 10.10. I have been trying for a few days now to get some programs to run when the system starts, but with no luck. I am trying to use rc.local to do this, there is an:
/etc/init.d/rc.local - http://paste.monsterprojects.org/mpbjhwhbjzhbjrr (Was already on the system, I have not edited this)
and:
/etc/rc.local - http://paste.monsterprojects.org/mpbjhwhbkkkhwez
If i run the /etc/rc.local script manually all the programs start fine, and if i run /etc/init.d/rc.local start, all the programs start fine. But for some reason they just don't seem to be starting when the system boots.

I am using Deluge on my Debian server, for a simple auto start at boot I us the following lines in the /etc/rc.localsudo -u User delugedsudo -u User deluge-webDeluge is running after boot but i wane check if its running with User account and not as root.So I did a ps -aux | grep deluge and notice a line that root is trying to run the command sudo -U User deluge-web (i think its trying).
User 1735 1.5 1.0 187680 21604 ? Sl 16:30 0:04 /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/deluged
root 1736 0.0 0.0 20924 1168 ? S 16:30 0:00 sudo -u User deluge-web
User 1737 1.5 1.1 70400 24084 ? S 16:30 0:04 /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/deluge-web
The question is what does this mean? can i leave it running, is it better to kill it if so how to prevent that it happen on start-up.

I apologize if there's a solution to this somewhere on the forum, but I searched around on google for several hours before posting this, so I assure you, I'm not trying to waste your time.Here's the deal. I have a file/print server running wpa_supplicant on interface wlan0 via ndiswrapper. Its wireless because the location I need the printer in is really inconvenient to have to run wires to, or I wouldn't have this problem.The box is running ubuntu server 10.10, with only ndiswrapper and the associated utils and wpa_supplicant installed in addition to the default packages required for file/print/web serving. (there may be a few trivial packages like Vim that should have no effect whatsoever.)Basically, wpa_supplicant associates fine with the AP, but I can't get any elegant way of getting a IP address with it, DHCP or static makes no difference. My current fix is my rc.local file has:
Code:
sleep 60
dhclient wlan0
[code]....

Forgive the terseness. I'm frazzled with this issue, perhaps I should have asked earlier. Every weekend for the past 2 months has been an endless cycle of 'repair broken system' off the install disk.
Installed from Ubuntu server 10.04LTS x86_64, + xfce-desktop Here is uname -a Linux ournas 2.6.32-25-server #45-Ubuntu SMP Sat Oct 16 20:06:58 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux If I add my raid + lvm to the fstab file, the boot stalls, (no error it, just hangs waiting, forever). So that's a not very user friendly to start with.
I've tried the suggestions about UUID in fstab tried using LABEL instead, or even /dev/xxx. Every time it hangs. I've googled this endlessly and not found a solution. So don't ask why... since I seem to have tried every odd suggestion to fix this, I've lost track. There seems to be some consensus that whoever gave us plymouth laid an egg. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but did we need a better graphical boot if it breaks everything else?

Problem I have is the Samba server, it does not seem to start up the shares at boot.When I boot the system, nothing is available on the network, I have to run the Samba Server Configuration Tool everytime I want to access a share, edit a share, save and quit, then my network shares become available.I see Starting SMB services during boot up, it says OK.It worked good on Fedora13.

I have a debian 8.1.1 server running owncloud and a proxy server at home. I have everything working fine, with one exception. The proxy server won't start on boot. If I ssh into the server, then run "sockd -D" as root, it starts up and runs just fine. Any guides I find refer to the init.d script method that worked in Wheezy, but that isn't working. I think it has to do with Jessie switching to systemd? I had used someone elses script in init.d, and ran update-rc.d, but it still doesn't start.
With Jessie, how can I make "sockd -D" execute on system startup?

all is well on my headless Lucid server until a recent apt-get upgrade && shutdown -R now ... it did not come back up? after i moved a screen to the other side of the house, i found fcsk waiting for input during the boot process errors on / ... (I)gnore / (F)ix " ...so i had to attach a keyboard just to push <F> i could change /etc/fstab so it never runs fsck, but this doesn't seem wise. how can i make it <F>ix automatically ? ( or maybe after Xsec )

I performed the first update in 4 months to my Fedora 12 Constantine. I also removed a 'dial-up' package (figured i didnt need it) and the KDE package after the update. Firefox was not getting a connection to the internet at this point. The network view showed the ethernet as inactive. Everything besides Firefox appears to work fine.
I restart machine.
It boots until right after the fedora logo fills up. At this point my dual monitors go to sleep. No response from anything. When I start in interactive mode I hit y for everything. Everything works great until libvirtd, libvirt-guest, and local. After y on all three nothing happens. I can type on the screen but no response. It just sits there. I can boot into text mode and do whatever I want. What can I do? What other information do I need to move forward?
I have looked at the Xorg.0.?? i forget what its called. I am not versed in reading the messages in it. Same for the other logs I looked at.

I have Ubuntu 10.10 (maverick) and I'm using mdadm 3.1.4. I have created a RAID 10 using imsm as the metadata, and this runs successfully if I assemble the RAID from the command line. My question is: How do I get the RAID to auto assemble when I boot the system? I would like to be able to mount the RAID when the system starts up (but the OS is on a separate disk altogether). What I've found out so far is that I must do a Code: update-initramfs -k all -u AFTER I've modified the /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf file. This is what I've got in my configuration file:
[Code]....
BUT what happens is that when I reboot my server, and then do "ls -l /dev/md*" there is no listing at all for any RAID devices. I actually have to run the assemble command on command line and that is when I see listings for RAID devices under /dev. What am I missing?

Ubuntu server 10.04 comes with a new event based startup system, and I wonder if that can be responsible for this problem. The server has been upgraded from 9.10. On reboot mysql does not always manage to start... /var/log/mysql/error.log has info similar to this:
100511 19:05:00 [ERROR] Can't start server: Bind on TCP/IP port: Cannot assign requested address
100511 19:05:00 [ERROR] Do you already have another mysqld server running on port: 3306 ?
100511 19:05:00 [ERROR] Aborting
So apparently port 3306 is not 100% unused when mysql tries to open it or somehow network connections are not ready, even if mysql start is supposed to wait for 'net-device-up' and 'local-filesystems' according to /etc/init/mysql.conf. This does not happen on all reboots. I am supposed to be able to start it manually with command 'start mysql' but that does not seem to work also. When I try start it again, it says mysql is running but no databases can be reached and mysqld is not active, reboot and good luck is all that helps...
As far as I know there are no firewalls installed, at least none I have manually configured and it has worked with no problems on 9.10. So this new upstart thing seems responsible. It simply does not let mysql wait until it can start in good way. That also explains why it's a random problem. If all starts happen when and if there is free processor time, it does not always start things in the same order on every reboot. The key here is port 3306, or whatever port mysql is configured to use. The upstart system simply needs delay the start until the port is 100% free and available for the system to use.

I know Ubuntu has changed the startup system in 10.04 and I am wondering how to go about starting my liferay server at boot (instead of starting manually).
There's already a startup script, can I setup a symlink to somewhere to have it start automatically?
I've tried searching through documentation and google but most of it applies to older versions of Ubuntu.

I have recently set up my web server using the LAMPP package for Ubuntu. Now I'm running Ubuntu Server 10 so my machine boots into the console and not gdm. Also I have my machine autologin as root so I can simply turn my server on and not mess around with logins. Now I created a simple shellscript for starting lampp and then I put it into etc/init.d/, chmod -x file.sh to give it executable permissions, then I update-rc.d file.sh defaults but nothing happens on startup. It simple takes me to the console and nothing more happens. I have to manually start lampp on every bootup.

Where do I change the option to have samba start during the boot process? I've googled and I've found old posts that say it's a line in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet2 but in my semi-current box, I don't see the part about starting stopping the samba server.

Currently when the system boots, It boots jabberd2 before mysql. So jabber fails. Then, later mysql is loaded. I either want to force jabber to load mysql first, or make the system boot mysql first. I've tried changing /etc/init.d/jabberd2 to say "# Required-Start:
mysql $network $named $remote_fs"...
However, insserv says that mysql service has to be enabled... so I assume that's an issue because mysql is an upstart script.
