Ubuntu :: Startup Applications Not Loading On 9.10 Boot
Sep 3, 2010
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:
Code:
Unable to create /home/name/.dbus/session-bus
(gnome-settings-daemon:1957): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_propagate_error: assertion `src != NULL' failed
(gnome-settings-daemon:1957): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_propagate_error: assertion `src != NULL' failed
Avviso del window manager: Lettura del file della sessione /home/name/.config/metacity/sessions/10202b25c953eedbf3128344035910216700000019440001.ms non riuscita: Apertura del file "/home/name/.config/metacity/sessions/10202b25c953eedbf3128344035910216700000019440001.ms" non riuscita: Nessun file o directory
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.

I'm a new user of Linux & I have recently written an application using Glade and GTK for a touch screen interface using Debian V5. The software is now complete and working so the simple bit (i thought) would be to get the software to load when the touchscreen is switched on. I have made a link to the software executable using the system/prefs/sessions option but the software seems to load on startup without the user interface. Looking at the system manager the software does seem to be running but it seems to be in the background. If i load the programme manually the GUI works.

I just installed ubuntu 11.04 and am experiencing problems loading applications in the software center. I select a department to see what's available and nothing comes up, it just keeps loading.

I posted this as a bug: [URL]
On Ubuntu Lucid Lynx, 64-bit, 2.6.32-22-generic kernel When I log into the system, the speaker icon in the upper bar is black (just an outline) suggesting there is no sound output available. After further inspection I found that the snd-hda-intel kernel module isn't getting loaded.
I have to load the module myself (using 'modprobe snd-hda-intel') every time I turn on the computer.

I'm having this problem since some time ago, in which the wallpaper won't load at startup. I have to manually go to the Appearance Manager and load it.
Isn't there a way to do this automatically at startup? I know it's kind of a minor thing, but I'm all for aesthetics of my pc.

I have this problem across all my computers running Ubuntu (Lucid and Maverick installations). It works sometimes but it's hit and miss. Sometimes it will load up an iso no problem and i have a start up flash stick in no length of time. Other time's it will not load up an iso. I have tried formatting my flash drive these times but it doesn't make a difference as the drive is always recognised by the program yet i sometimes can't load an iso. When this happens i find that i generally have the same problem at the same time on my other Ubuntu installations. I find it weird. Anyway it's very frustrating when i come across another distro that i really want to try out and i cannot load the iso in the program.

How can I prevent a program loading on startup? The program does not appear in Preferences / Startup Applications. I want to avoid having to sudo kill all programname every-time I login.

I fear I may have missed something simple, but I have a "miner" under /etc/init.d
Code:
#!/bin/sh
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: Miner
# Required-Start: $all
# Required-Stop: $all
[Code].....
I can also manually can start, stop, and restart on it. However, it does not launch on startup. I can find no messages in /var/log/syslog showing any attempt to start it. Did I miss a step?
FYI: uname -a Linux wrath 2.6.38-8-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 11 03:31:50 UTC 2011 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux

I have a nice script that I've placed in the Startup Applications that open some windows for me when I reboot the computer and login. But when I connect remotely via RDP it runs this script too... and that isn't desirable. Is there a way I can prevent the script from running when I login through RDP?

I am new to ubuntu (from today) so I know nothing above, so I install it, and trying to load it, I have a problem if I try to start my session "ubuntu"or "ubuntu classic" I fall on the wallpaper, with a pointer loading, but loading is "eternal", the only way I have to use it is run "ubuntu classic (void)" or "ubuntu (secure mode)".

I've noticed that the majority of the time I will double click an icon to launch and application the cursor activity (mouse loading/busy icon) will not show. The application will launch but there is no indication whatsoever that it's starting up. I haven't had this problem with other Linux distro's and I'm wondering if it's a setting or some sort.
I did notice that on a few applications it works just fine and it will do the loading animation. However, a lot of them will not show it at all. This is very frustrating especially if the application takes a bit to load and you don't know if you even launched it to begin with. Is this a bug or something that can be turned on?
I do hope I explained which animation I'm referring to. It's the circular loading animation that occupies the mouse when you are waiting for an application to finish launching. I'm not entirely sure if this is a gnome thing. Seem to work just fine on my old KDE desktop.

While recently tweaking my system i deleted some startup applications from System->Preferences->Startup Applications. Now my themes and some other settings are not showing up while I login.
here the default set of startup application entries that come when you do a clean install? I am using Ubuntu 9.10 64bit
PS: If there is any work around to reset.

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?

I'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.

how to disable startup applications in GNOME 2.30.2 running on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (64-bit). When I open Startup Applications (System --> Preferences -->) and uncheck a startup program, close Startup Applications and open it again, the program I unchecked is checked again. Even if I remove a program from the list it's there again the next time I open Startup Applications and the program opens when I restart.

I need to be able to launch a GUI application for all users after they login. 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?

After the upgrades have installed on my installation of Ubuntu 10.4 (there were some kernel upgrades, I don't remember if there was any libc update there) it asked me to do a reboot. So I did and I got that error when Ubuntu was starting:
Code:
/bin/sh: error while loading shared libraries: /lib/libc.so.6: invalid ELF header
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
And if I run Ubuntu in recovery mode there's what I get after this:
Code:
Pid: 1, comm: init: Not tainted 2.6.32-22-generic #35-Ubuntu
There's also Call Trace after this, and a bit of text there, but as I'm rewriting those errors from a photo captured (because I cannot find logs of this in /var/log/) I will skip it unless it's needed to solve the problem. EDIT1: I cannot find anybody who had this problem during startup, there are only guys who had this during compiling or installing software

I am using ubuntu 10.04 and made some changes in Xorg.conf to try enabling twinview. Unfortunately, Ubuntu just stops at the startup logo now. Is there a way I can stop the loading of X, so I can undo the error in Xorg.conf and hopefully make Ubuntu load normally again? Grub automatically loads Ubuntu, there is no Grub menu that allows loading of some alternative config.

When I startup Rhythmbox music player I have no library. Whats strange is when I click edit/preferences/music and then browse to select my library location (which is already correct), apon selecting the hard drive that my library is on the whole music library suddenly loads and I don't have to re-select my library folder, I just cancel the preferences window. But if I just wait for Rhythmbox to load the library without beginning to remind it where it is, it never loads.

About 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?

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?

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.

Im not sure why they aren't working - but my startup applications are not running at boot. They run fine from terminal.
I have a startup application for Xchat and the command is just xchat (which works fine from terminal) but it isn't loading at? - I have checked and im not running in safe mode or anything like that - just the standard ubuntu desktop).
Unrelated Question:
Is there a 'global' i.p address I can use to represent all devices on my LAN - so I can mass whitelist in firestarter?

using ubuntu 10.4, have set a custom command to open my browser to a page using the following in System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications
Code:
chromuim-browser -kiosk http://wallboard
this works, but only for the next restart, any subsequent restart, and this 'application' has vanished from the list...
how do i add this 'application' as a persistent entry, not just for the next restart.

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. Where are the data of of the startup applications stored? (i suppose it's .xx file that I could just delete to restore defaults)
