I have a Debian Etch machine that was given to me but when it boots up it executes a program that is located on my desktop.
I don't want to move or rename the program but would like to prevent it from starting when the machine starts. Anyone have any idea as to what file I need to edit in order to achieve this?
I presume there is something in the JWM window manager - or Puppy Linux Lupu 5.01 itself that is conflicting with the normal loading of GMPLAYER....

I like that everything works out of the box (had to install codecs etc, but thats standard); but I dont like that there are 260 processes running. Is there a utility to stop unnecessary processes from running in Ubuntu 10.10? I used rcconf but there did not seem to be a whole lot of startup processes that were enabled. Yet somehow I am running 260 processes now.
Even if I log into fluxbox, I get 200+ processes running.
I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and I have installed openssh.I need to find a way to configure it so that it never start up when I boot into my computer. The reason is: I haven't had the time yet to learn how to set it up and configure it correctly. Until that time comes I don't want it to run at all.Every single time I boot into the system and I have to do that first before I can even do what I really need to on the computer. It's annoying.Does anyone know the best and least complicated way to just make it not run at all until I'm ready to set it up properly?Also how to check what is running on my system after I boot up so I can double check, after making the changes, that it worked right.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI installed an RPG platform (Fantasy Grounds) on my system via Win7. Once installed, and known to be working, I logged off Win and back to Ubuntu and ran the program via Wine. Once it starts, I hear my PC rev up, see the system monitor crank up the CPU and see that "Fantasy Grounds" is running and using about 40% of my CPU usage... but I don't see it. There is no GUI, no nothing. I can end process and the CPU drops down to normal. Anyone have any idea as to why a program would be running, but I have no visible evidence that it is?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI seem to be having a problem with cron. I have a python program that checks a specific directory for pending email scripts written in python.
Code:
#!/usr/bin/python
import os
emaildir = os.environ['HOME']+"/email/"
filelist = os.listdir(emaildir)
for pyfile in filelist:
if pyfile.find(".py") > -1:
execfile(emaildir+pyfile)
This code has been tested and works fine. The problem is that I need cron to run this code every 5 minutes but i can't tell if it is running: Here is my cron code:
5 * * * * /home/username/custom/CheckEmail.py >>/home/username/custom/email.log 2>&1
I activated the log (I think) but all i get is /var/log/cron.log and that only logs when I activate/deactivate or edit the cron file. is there anything else i need to set for this to work? I am running Ubuntu 9.10.
I downloaded The Witcher for windows from Wine and I'm trying to run it but it says I have to run it as the admin the first time the game is ran. I don't know how to run it as admin lol. I've only been using ubuntu for about a week now. If you can let me know how to do it from the terminal AND from shortcuts, that would be great because I'm trying to know what all I can do with ubuntu.

Something like that?

i am trying to daemonize my (java) program on ubuntu. For that end i created a script based on /etc/init.d/skeleton script which obviously uses start-stop-daemon.
But I cannot make the process (java program) run on the background. it keeps running in the same terminal i start my daemon script. Trying --background option for start-stop-daemon does not help.
I am using a small ubuntu command-line only distro (Ubuntu Mini Remix) to run off of a LiveCD or USB stick. I need it to run a program as root as soon as it is finished booting, automatically. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to make it run my program. I have tried putting a script into rc2.d (when I type runlevel at the command line, it tells me it is level 2) that simply contained:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
qct
(qct is the name of my program)
I did the chmod u+x on the script. It does not run my program, though. I have no idea if it was a naming issue or not. I do not understand the naming scheme.When it boots, and doesn't run my program, I can type sudo qct at the command prompt and it runs fine.
I've downloaded and installed WINE, works well with most windows programs I run. I recently downloaded a program called METT (micro expression training tool), and apparently it needs a disc to be ran. Well, I installed KISO and mounted the image there, but I still can't get it to run.
