View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: 10.10 Maverick Startupmanager Not Launching?
Dec 12, 2010I have installed Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat onto a USB stick. Booting up is fun but it does come up with a load of text and a blue menu screen that hangs around for 5 seconds and then loads up ok.
My challenge is to somehow customise the boot up process. For one I'd like to customise the options that are presented on the initial blue menu boot up screen and possibly to not show the back ground text that presents during the start up process.
I've googles about a bit and am aware that I need to be using startupmanager as the GUI customisation tool of choice. The trouble is that after installation startupmanager doesn't launch.
This is what I've done so far:
1. gone to [URL] and downloaded the startupmanager (1.9.13-5) version of the package.
2. gone to [URL] and downloaded the menu 2.1.44ubuntu1 as looking at the the pre-requisites for startupmanager this was the only one not already installed.
3. from a terminal window executed sudo dpkg -i <the previously downloaded startupmanager package>
4. from a terminal window executed sudo dpkg -i <the previously downloaded menu package>
5. Tried to launch it from the systemadministration menu. Nothing obvious happened.
6. Created a shortcut of the startupmanager shortcut on the desktop and viewed the properties.
7. opened up a terminal windows and launch command su-to-root -X -c /usr/sbin/startupmanager which was originall shown within the startupmanager properties of the shortcut.
From this last terminal command I get the output as follows:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ su-to-root -X -c /usr/sbin/startupmanager
Grub2 detected
Usplash not detected
Splashy not detected

Ubuntu :: Grub 1.99 Won't Save Default OS With Startupmanager
Apr 30, 2011I upgraded my wife's dual boot netbook (Ubuntu/Win7) from 10.10 to 11.4. Windows was set as the default OS in Grub v 1.98 via startupmanager in 10.10 and that's the way I want it to be again. After the 11.4 upgrade, Ubuntu 11.4 is set to defualt and even though I changed the default in startupmanager it always defaults to Ubuntu on boot. It's interesting to note that when I go back in to startupmanager to see what's up after reboot, it still has Win 7 selected.
Also, the choices in startupmanager look a little different from what shows up in grub. Grub shows just the latest version of ubuntu (and recovery mode), the memtest stuff, windows, and "previous versions of ubuntu" while startupmanger just lists all three ubuntu version w/recovery options, memtest stuff, and Win 7. If I do sudo update-grub in terminal, it lists the available options just like startupmanager does.
Bottom line, Win 7 will boot if manually selected, but I can't set it to default, and this is my wife's netbook so she wants it put back I just remembered and I don't know if it would matter or not. I did the original Ubuntu install first, then win 7. I used a windows program called easyBCD to get back the ability to choose which OS on startup. When I upgraded 10.10 to 11.4, Grub is back in charge. If I manually select Win7 to boot in grub, that easyBCD selection menu will pop up for a sec,offereing windows or ubuntu.Could this be confusing startupmanager and not letting my changes take effect?

Ubuntu :: 11.04 Slow - Start Up Time Is 30 Minutes But It Usually Doesn't Start Up At All
May 4, 2011I did a clean install of Ubuntu 11.04 64bit and the start up time is abnormally slow. If I start up the computer and don't press anything, the start up time is 30 minutes but it usually doesn't start up at all. It just boots into a purple screen, no splash, then it sits there and the computer doesn't have any loading lights flashing.
I had a similar problem with 10.10, but I assumed it would go away when I did a clean install of 11.04.
I can't get a read out of what's going wrong because when I press Esc it doesn't display anything, though weirdly it can sometimes get the start up process moving. I have also found that pressing enter really fast can sometimes help and something that seems completely oxymoronic, if I press the power button while it's starting up that can make it work, but nothing works every time.

View 4 Replies View RelatedFedora :: Schedule A Process To Start At A Specific Time (not On Start Up)?
Jan 19, 2010I'm trying to find how to schedule a process to start at a specific time (not on start up). How would I schedule a process/application to start at a specific time (if it matters, it will be a background process). For instance, have process abc start every weekday at 5am. I've done this for windows many times though have only been using linux regularly for a few months and haven't figured out the best way of doing this.
So far the best solution I have is to create a program that will start on boot and have it check the time and sleep until the required time and then start the required process(es) at the required time(s). But this seems more of a hack since I'd expect there to be a proper way of doing this.

Software :: Samba Refuses To Start On Startup - But Will Start Manually
Apr 14, 2009I just moved my / from sda1 to an ide drive, hde1. i dont see how this could have caused any of these issues, but it did.
First my network card failed to start. i added a line in my rc.local file (where i put all of my additional programs, etc i want to start):/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1
The above now starts my network card with my static ip configured. dhcpcd also worked but i wanted this static.
Now samba will not start. i have the following line in my rc.local: /etc/rc.d/init.d/samba start
This used to work just fine. at first i thought that samba may be trying to start before my network card gets an ip, but the line is *after* the network startup line. just to make sure, i made an additional script called startsamba which contained a sleep 60 followed by samba start, to delay the startup of samba even further.
The message samba reports is very vague, something like failed - core dumped. most of the core dump log is garbage characters, but here is the beginning which seems like it might contain some info:
Code:
ERROR: Can't log to stdout (-S) unless daemon is in foreground (-F) or interactive (-i) after the system starts, i can drop to a console and type "/etc/rc.d/init.d/samba start" and the service starts just fine. i've also tried starting samba manually with "smbd -d" which also produces the core dump when started from rc.local, but not when started from a console after startup.
CentOS 5 Server :: DHCPD Doesn't Start - How To Make It Start
Sep 2, 2010I'm configuring a new Centos 5.5 server in replacement of an old W2K server.The topology of our network is simple : one file/dhcp/dns relay server and workstations (PC's and some MAC's) plus network printers and scanners.All the workstations have dynamic IP addresses (easier because a lot of 'dynamic' changes : new persons with their own laptop, ...) and the server and printers/scanners have fixed IP addresses.I edited the dhcpd.conf (see here underneath), I have the file dhcpd.leases but it doesn't start !

Networking :: Start-up Script To Start Wlan Interface
Aug 29, 2009I've been fighting to get my wireless working and I've finally made some progress. I can actually manage to connect to my wireless network and so far it has been quite stable (fingers crossed).
However there is one slight nag. My wlan0 interface driver refuses to start at startup. When I type iwconfig its just not there. To fix this I have to manually run "rmmod rtl8187" and then "modprobe rtl8187". Then it works fine.
I've been trying to make a script to automate this but without success. I've tried both editing my rc.local and kde startup .xinitrc
How I could get those two commands to run automatically at startup after the boot process? I'm running Arch Linux and KDE 4.3
