Ubuntu :: Startup - Unmarked The "show The Screen For Choosing Who Will Log In"
Aug 26, 2010
I've set up the pc to power on automatically and start downloading at a certain time, so I went to System>Administration>login screen and unmarked the "show the screen for choosing who will log in" and I marked the "log in as me automatically". but when the pc starts, it gets logged in but doesn't do the things I've ordered it to do, and still needs me to fill the password for unlocking the login keyring. (I want to get rid of that as well)
The other problem is with my connections, I have 2 DSL connectionss, one that I browse the web during day and the other one that is free and I do downloads with it. I've ticked the connect automatically for the free connection, so that when my pc is up it gets connected automatically and then torrent will start up after and work. But I've realized if after the startup, the connection is not connected, it doesn't try again, however if it gets connected it remains connected for as long as it can be, the problem is only the first try. (If there is some problem with connecting at that certain time of startup and then the problem is gone, it won't connect automatically.)

I select GLSlideshow in the KDE system settings, but there is no option to choose what folder I want to use. I have to open xscreensaver to do this. However, I don't want certain sub-folders being used and I can't seem to be able to blacklist those folders.

I'm a beginner with Linux. I'm using the version of Ubuntu 10.10 installed in a notebook HP Pavilion tx 2000 (Turion 64 x2). My Ubuntu is 32 bits.
I'm passing for the following situation:
When I turn on my notebook, if it is running on battery (even with the battery has 100% of charge), a login / password screen does not appear, and the screen goes dark and nothing more I can do (that I knew!). So I re-start the machine.
However, if the notebook is plugged into electrical energy (with or without battery), a login / password appears normally.
If, with the notebook plugged into electrical energy, I log in Ubuntu operating system, then great. After loaded the operating system, I can turn off electrical energy and the notebook works normally (only with battery). In other words, just the login screen that is with this electrical energy problem.

Could i install ubuntu and whenever i boot my pc up, is it possible to boot up automatically into windows without any OS choosing screen appearing; and instead only boot into ubuntu when i have the livecd in my drive and boot from it?Im the only one who knows about Ubuntu in my family and most would be quite confused if they didnt find thereselves booting into windows as they normally would. So to get around this and to have Ubuntu at the same time, i want to only be able to access ubuntu by putting in the live cd and booting it from that. Or is it possible for information that i download etc. to be stored onto the livecd itself?

I am trying to install a game to use with WINE from a CD I have lying around. However, the game installer isn't a marked executable file, and I am unable to make it one because I only have read access to the disk.(Using Ubuntu 10.10)Is there anything I can do hereDIT:Nevermind, Just like me, I try for hours and solve it the moment I tell someone about it.running wine setup.exe from the terminal seems to have done the trick.

i just installed Ubuntu from an ISO about a year old and of course i updated it to the latest version and when i get that screen at startup where i have a choice of which version to load i get something like this: My current version, memtest, an old installation of Ubuntu and some really old versions. The problem is i also have Windows7 and Vista installed(vista really needs to go) but i don't have either of them as a choice in the bootloader. How do i get it back? Also before the update i had it on the list.

I have a dual-boot setup with Windows 7 and Ubuntu 11.04. Each OS is installed on a separate partition of one hard drive. I read that installing Windows after installing Ubuntu wipes out Grub, so I made sure to install Windows first. Unfortunately, after completing the Ubuntu install and rebooting, I see no sign of the Grub menu. I followed several sets of instructions for reinstalling Grub, and after running grub-update, it appears that Windows 7 was added to Grub, and after examining the grub.cfg file, it appeared that that was the case. Despite appearing to be installed perfectly once inside Ubuntu, Grub doesn't show anything at startup. No matter what I try, I can't seem to make Grub appear, and now I can't get back to Windows 7. Am I missing something, or should I try a different bootloader?

I have a computer with pentium 3 that i'd like to run ubuntu 10.04 on. I've installed it from a livecd (the cd is fine, because i used that cd to install 10.04 on another machine, and its working perfectly). The installation went fine, and on the first boot everything worked fine as well. but when i tried it again, the computer started but at the desktop there were no panels on the top or bottom, although every thing else was working.
I could use Alt+F2 to run any application that comes preinstalled on the ubuntu cd including the terminal, but i can't access Applications, Places, System, etc.
Everytime at startup during boot there is a message that prints "error: no suitable mode found" "error :unknown command 'terminal'" (without the quotes).
this computer has a bit of a history as i once tried to install linux mint on it but failed because of a bad livecd. the grub got installed wrongly, tried to reinstall xp, didn't work, then ultimately after trying a few other things turned to DBAN, which surprisingly also failed crashing everytime i ran it before completing its erase, which leads me to believe that Dban didn't leave my hard drives in too good a condition. when the ubuntu live cd worked however i was ignited with a brand new spark of hope, and even that now is starting to diminish, is there no hope for my pentium 3.

I've been trying to setup Plymouth on Debian Squeeze, but have only been partially successful: Plymouth works with shutdown (i.e. I see Plymouth after I tell the computer to shut down), but not when I start up my computer (before it reaches GDM). In other words, Plymouth seems to work with my graphics, but for some reason does not show up at startup (not even briefly, as far as I can tell). I've searched the forums and followed this advice, as well as the instructions found here: [URL] but neither of those worked. I'm running Debian Testing (Squeeze) on a Thinkpad X41, which uses "Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller" for graphics.

I'm encountering an unusual problem with GRUB 2. Whenever I start up my system, my BIOS'es load and do their thing, and then hand the show over to GRUB, which is supposed to not appear or do anything because my GRUB countdown is set to 0, but instead I get two errors like this that appear for about 5 or 10 seconds (greatly delaying startup) and then Xubuntu, the first entry on my Grub menu, loads: (I set GRUB to automatically boot my first entry):
Code:
error: no suitable mode found
error: unknown command 'terminal'

I've been upgrading all our servers from FC8 to FC10. One thing that is no longer there are the start up script messages, being replaced by the white and blue line at the bottom.
I like seeing the bootup messages when I reboot (rarely) to make sure nothing went wrong and not having to go into boot.log to check it.
Code:
Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while...
Found volume group "VolGroup00" using metadata type lvm2
2 logical volume(s) in volume group "VolGroup00" now active

I am searching for a way to run multiple commands at boot time using the gnu screen utility.
A solution could be:
But the result would be many sessions, each one with just one child. What I need is just one session with many children, one child per command.

I just upgraded to the 10.04 and everything works just fine as before (except for skype but that really doesn't matters as it has already been 3 years I'm using ubuntu and I managed to get it to work only once, for miracle I believe ^^). The only real issue I have is this: when I start up my laptop, after the log-in, no sound will be heared as the "speaker" volume level in alsamixer is set to 0; if I raise it from the terminal running alsamixer (as I don't know any other alternative) everything plays just fine, but the next time I boot I do have to do it all over again... So, how can I change the default startup level of the "speaker" in alsamixer?
PS: by the way I do have the very same issue with the screen luminosity but the other way round as is always starts at maximum brightness and I can't manage to get it to start at the minimum, as it did before. At least reducing the backlight if far more quick but a couple of times I forget it and the battery lasted something like half an hour

I downloaded the Bisigi Theme packs for Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic and I noticed I can't get the logic screen to show up. Anyone know what's wrong? I was sure hoping I could use their login screens. I heard that in Karmic you can't change it? That's really a let down if it is, not to mention they don't even let user know that you can't change it? Or Can it be changed? Anyone have a hack or code for it?

OS: Windows 7Problem: Want to dual boot Ubuntu and Win 7, but OS screen won't show after POST.I need some assistance in installing Ubuntu 10.10. This would be my first Linux installation, all I have done otherwise was virtualize Ubuntu 9.10.I have tried installing two times now but I can't get the boot screen to pop up for when I dual boot and check my OS.So here is what I did, not ever partitioning a drive before for duel booting:1. Go into Disk Manager and shrink the volume of the main HD by 25GB (I was going to use this for Ubuntu)2. I then inserted the Live CD with Ubuntu 10.10 on it and proceeded to install, however when choosing where to install it, I chose the advanced options and chose the partition that I set aside as free space for Linux (25GB -- 25600MB).
3. I set the boot loader to this partition, as the other partitions are the w7(windows 7) loader and the label of the HD. The partition was labled dev/shd5 or something like that. But when I am done installing and try to boot normally the screen where I am to choose which OS to boot does not appear.Question:What should I do to dual boot? I also tried selecting boot alongside another (or similar) and set the same settings as using the dev/shd5 free space that I allocated (25GB) and placing the boot loader on the same partition, which is not the main partition.I do not want to overwrite the Windows Partition as I have things on there that I will need,

I used StartUp Manager in Linux to change to "0" the time GRUB shows the "Select OS screen" now I'cant choose which OS I want to boot. Since WinXP is selected as the default OS, I can only log into Windows.
I've already tried to press the UP ARROW several times when the machine starts up but has no effect and the GRUB selection screen won't show up (This used to work on a desktop PC with GRUB and dual OS's). I'm on a laptop, is there any way to get to the GRUB select OS screen again?

I run into a new kind of problem with Ubuntu 10.4 LTS. The unlock screen dialog that asks for your password when resuming from the screensaver does not show up immediately. Moving the mouse, typing stuff. It does not seem to be a pure display problem, since typing the password does not seem to do the trick. After a while (about 15 seconds), it shows up, though.
