Ubuntu :: Finding A Folder To Autorun A Script At Login?

Aug 31, 2010

I remember reading something a while back that theres a folder that you can just plonk a bash script into and it will run on login but cant find anything about it now. I have found the command $update-rc.d <filename> but scripts added this way have to lsbInit compliant and i havent got a clue where to start with that I also cant just add it to the startup applications list because for some stupid reason following the kernel update a few weeks back (this used to work fine) suddenly has no effect. Heres the script incase anyone wants extra points for telling me why all of a sudden it doesnt work. (ive also made the same script run as a python3 program to no effect.)

Code:

#! /bin/bash
# This is a simple bash script to automatically play a
# random song on banshee 15 seconds after startup
sleep 15 && banshee --play

From reading stories on the web I attempted to create the folder ".mozilla-thunderbird" in my /home folder as I could not see the hidden folderWhen creating the folder I get a message that the folder already exists - however I can not see the hidden folder - I see a number of other hidden folders but not this one.

General :: Finding Out Why/how A Folder Is Being Created

Jun 22, 2010

There's a folder on my Linux desktop which shouldn't exist. The first time I saw it, I thought I'd accidentally copied it from somewhere else, so I deleted it. Now it's back again. So it must have been automatically created by some process, but what can I do to figure out which program is creating it? I think it's likely that if I delete the folder it'll eventually be created again, so I should be able to catch this program in the act if anyone can suggest a technique for doing so. By the way, there are no files in this mystery folder, and its name is the same as another folder I created months ago to hold my personal documents, not something that a program would create to hold its own configuration files or the like.

General :: Thunderbird 3.1.1.10, Not Finding Sent E-mail In Send Folder Any More

Jul 12, 2011

Using Thunderbird 3.1.10 and no longer can see copies of my sent messages in the Sent Folder. I tried to tick the box in account settings to save a copy and it would not take the change. What I did notice is that the e-mails sent are being received on the other end, but I do not have a copy in the Sent folder. It seems as though my e-mail account has been hijacked, and I changed my e-mail account password as a precaution. I am also getting e-mail BACK in my in box that I sent to other people. My AT&T account uses yahoo and my account through AT&T was originally bellsouth.net What can I do to make sure I get a copy of all of my e-mail sent out?

Ubuntu :: How To Open A Folder On Login

Jul 21, 2010

I'd like to open a folder automatically after logging in. The folder is a samba shared folder but it shouldn't matter. I've tried launching nautilus as a "startup application", but then Ubuntu will enter some kind of loop and pop up lots of window saying "starting file manager". I am using Ubuntu 10.04.

Ubuntu :: Desktop Folder Gets Deleted On Logout Or Login

Mar 18, 2011

Ubuntu 10.04. Also have Kubuntu desktop installed. Usually use Ubuntu. Home folder shows as the desktop. Checked settings for Nautilus, Home_folder_is_Desktop is NOT checked. ~/Desktop folder does not exist. .config/user-dirs.dir desktop line is set to XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/"

So, created the ~/Desktop folder. Changed the line in user-dirs.dir to read XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/Desktop". Log out. Log back in. Result:

Home folder shows as the desktop. Checked settings for Nautilus, Home_folder_is_Desktop is NOT checked. ~/Desktop folder does not exist. .config/user-dirs.dir desktop line is set to XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/"

Logged into the KDE desktop. It complains that the ~/Desktop folder does not exist. Shows nothing on the desktop. Create the ~/Desktop folder. Set KDE to use the ~/Desktop folder. Check .config/user-dirs.dir and make sure that the Home folder shows as the desktop. Checked settings for Nautilus, Home_folder_is_Desktop is NOT checked. ~/Desktop folder does not exist. .config/user-dirs.dir desktop line is set to XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/Desktop" line is in. Everything is set. Log out.

Log in to Ubuntu. Result:
Home folder shows as the desktop. Checked settings for Nautilus, Home_folder_is_Desktop is NOT checked. ~/Desktop folder does not exist. .config/user-dirs.dir desktop line is set to XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/"

This problem showed up on two computers after a clean install of Ubuntu 10.04 followed by an install of the Kubuntu desktop. Might as well install Kubuntu desktop because some of the utilities I like to use (Kate, Krusader, etc) require that major parts of it be installed anyway. What appears to be happening is that the user-dirs.dir folder is getting ignored and is overwritten either on logout or login and the ~/Desktop folder is being deleted.

Ive had this problem before on the same mp3 and what i did was format the mp3 in windows but the thing keeps coming again and again . ive seen a couple 'windows solutions' for this but i dont have windows anymore so...

Ubuntu Security :: Home Folder Encryption Using Login Password

Mar 20, 2010

When installing the latest Distro of Mint (I believe this is not much different, if at all, from Ubuntu as far as this goes) I chose to have my Home folder encrypted using the login password. This was a function of the installation. What I was wondering about was how secure this was and if I should maybe use something to do a better encryption or not.

OpenSUSE :: Automatic Folder Creation Upon First Login?

Jan 17, 2010

When I create a new user account and login the first time to Gnome a series of files and directories is created in the user's home directory. Those directories are for example:

.ICEauthority
.cache
.config
.dbus
.gnupg
Bilder
Desktop
Documents
Musik
Videos
Vorlagen
�ffentlich

How can I control what files and directories are created? I checked /etc/skel but none of those entries where there. In particular, I do not want to have the folders "Bilder", "Documents", "Musik", "Videos", "Vorlagen" and "�ffentlich" being created.

Ubuntu :: [lucid] Disabling The Autorun Feature?

Jul 2, 2010

I have an external WD hard drive on which I have created several partitions to facilitate data arrangement. Whenever I plug it in, all partitions are mounted. That is okay. I want it to automount all partitions. But the annoying thing is all partitions opening and popping up and cluttering my desktop (which I, very dearly, keep very arranged and clean...)

I hate it and want to edit the settings so the folders will not automatically open and pop up into my face..

I have an embedded PC104 application where I am trying to get my program to start automatically at power up. The program contains a graphical user interface, using an old SVGALIB (no longer supported). It works fine if I start it after log in.But when I put the path in rc.local, it will only run if I disable all the graphical stuff. The program bunts if it looks ahead and sees the call to vga_setmode(), where I set it for 480 x 640 resolution.

Software :: Autorun CD's In Fluxbox

Sep 22, 2010

I've looked at many tutorials on the internet but none helped me much.I've already tried to edit fstab so it would have something like /dev/cdrom/media/cdrom0udf,iso9660user,auto00.But the thing is this only takes effect when the OS loads, and the CD has to be inserted at that time, so it's not something permanent or viable. What I'm looking for it's something to auto-mount the cd in the fluxbox GUI when it's inserted just like in Gnome or Kde.
