Ubuntu :: Getting A Script To Launch On Login?
Mar 14, 2010
i've been looking for an answer to this for a few days now before i decided to post. i have a simple script that works perfectly if launched manually from an xterm window. the script has been already been chmod +x.
i have my account set to autologin to an xterm session. i have symlinks in rc2.d and the script itself in init.d. i can't find any clear explanation of where i need to put my script to it launches itself right after my account logs into an xterm session. i can ./script after my xterm session starts and everything works fine but i just cannot find where to put it so it launches after my acct auto logins.

i am wondering if it is possible to do this all i can find with google is idea proposals and brainstorms i know i could make a separate account and call it guest user bu that user would get to keep data/settings where as a guest session places a temporary account in the /tmp folder which combined with a ram disk for /tmp would result in some really fast performance since i use a ssd for / which would make the traditional hdd only used for /var also since /tmp would be a ram disk it would be like the guest is using a live cd with security restrictions and performance enhancements on top of this there would be no trace of the guest on my computer after shutdown

Basically, the problem is, we have a bunch of computers in a computer lab, that we want to students to access, but not modify in ANY way. That includes backgrounds or whatnot. And after restart, any changes they may have made, change back. Also, they can't have read access to the administrator account on the computer.
This needs to give a permission denied, or something:
Code:
cd /home/(admin account username)
ls
The Guest Session is exactly what we are looking for, but try as I might, I can't get it to work. Because, we don't want to have to login as administrators, then activate guest session, just for our students to use the computers. The idea being, we can leave the computers in there, and not worry about the students breaking anything.
One thread I tried was: [URL]. However, using his method, will log the student into the account, and after about 5 seconds, log them back out.
The other method listed lower in the thread,
Code:
/usr/bin/guest-session
Seems to work, but upon logging out, fails to launch the gdm
Only way to restore is restarting the computer.

I have been using ubuntu since 10.04 version and configure with compiz to activate the corners, cube, etc. No problems with that. When I upgraded to 11.04 these things were not working but honestly I did not care that much and was just playing with compiz, so I was playing with an option in compiz about the size of the icons in the new 11.04 launch bar, just when I clicked it my top bar and launch bar are gone and not coming back after rebooting many times. BTW I already uninstalled compiz via terminal and the same problem is happening, maybe important for you to know (alt+f2 or other shortcuts not working except for ctr+alt+t)

I installed it yesterday. It worked well. I was able to log into windows without any trouble and restart into Ubuntu without a hitch.
This morning I launched Ubuntu as usual vi GRUB. I was asked to install about 135 upgrade files, which went withou an apparent challenges. I then went through the restart and noticed that there was an extra two choices in GRUB, but I just left it to launch Ubuntu automatically. Which it did.
I then messed about with the appearance settings. Noticed a some more updates were waiting which included 49 files. I went through the updating process and restart.
GRUB worked well, and I was soon loggin in with username and password.
The Ubuntu Screen became visible with the flashing horizontal line and about 3 seconds later everything froze. I waited for several minutes - I timed them - but still no progress - everything remained frozen.
I switched off the machine completely, as I knew of no other way to get out of this situation. I rebooted and when GrUB launched I booted into windows 7 with absolutely no problems.
I used restart in windows and then allowed GRUB to boot into Ubuntu. Once more I was able to log in but soon after the Ubuntu Screen appeared and the horizontal line flashed for a few seconds, everything froze. This time I waited five minutes before switching off the machine by disconnecting at the mains.
I am now using windwos 7 to make contact

I am running Kubuntu 10.04 and i want to make some icons on the desktop to launch various telnet sessions. So i make a .sh using vi test.sh and then put in telnet 180.9.x.xx and save and quit. Then i chmod 777 it to make it executable and then moved it to my Desktop folder. But when i double click or right click and open with konsole nothing happens. I know it is probably something stupid which i have overlooked but when i have done this in Ubuntu in the past it has worked.

I did a install of 9.10 on a Lenovo T61p a few weeks back. The install went seamlessly and everything was running along just fine, then suddenly, I'm having the problem that every time I go to launch a new window, it takes 30 - 40 seconds for the window to launch. Once the window is launched, performance seems normal, with one exception. When I go to launch Nautilus from the "Home Folder" menu under "Places", it takes 30 - 40 seconds to launch the window, then another 10 -15 seconds for the folder items to appear. If I click to descend into a folder, it takes 10 - 15 seconds for the folder contents to appear. This stuff was all instantaneous.

I made an error by downloading and installing a new version of firefox. I do not manage any more to install the flash! I would also play World of warcraft but I have a little problem. I know it is not precise. But my english teacher would we make a discussion of anything in English, for 30 minutes. Thus it would be cool if anybody can contact me on <snip.> We could discuss about these problems with skype.

I'm having an issue with a startup script that I wrote. I'm using Alltray to dock Thunderbird to my panel next to the clock.I put this script in /etc/network/if-up.d because I want it to automatically launch Thunderbird in docked mode as soon as my computer connects to the Internet. I can manually run this script just fine, but the system will not launch AllTray
I already chmodded the file, so it has permission to be executed. But for some reason it will not launch. I know that the system is actually running the script because I had it echo "Hello World" to a text file on the desktop. But it won't run any programs.

As the subject of this post suggests i'm trying to launch Ubuntu applications from a php script, i have tried different ways of doing this but without much success.Firstly i would like to explain why and maybe somebody may have a better suggestion or an alternative route...I am making a 'personal' remix of Ubuntu which will be a live CD i can use for my university work (studying computer forensics), it will basically be a minimal install with every Linux based forensics application i can lay my hands on,instead of having a huge list of shortcut's in the menu's that ship with Ubuntu I though it would be fun/a challenge to make a fancy PHP based web site which contained a database of the programs so i could search through them and find what i need by category ect and then launch those applications from the same site.I can 'talk' to Ubuntu through some small scripts i've tried but i can't launch any applications.Here is what i've got so far....
Code:
<?php
echo "test1";

I have a copy of Shake (I was given it by my friend) It is the Linux version and I have followed instructions to install and after a few problems and errors I think I have everything in place. However when I type the advised command from Terminal: 'csh Shake' All that happens is the terminal moves to a new line with no text. I can still type and press enter but nothing happens, just goes to a new blank line. Thing is it doesn't give any errors. I have chmod'd the correct folders, have installed all required included files and library's. Also, im sorry for posting this here, I could not post in the Multimedia section

I recently installed stacks for Docky using the script of this link here [URL]
Until that, everything is okay. I can drag and drop folders to Docky, and when I click 'em I can easily see it's content like in Mac OS or Cairo.
But the problem here is that I wanted to make an Application folder like in Mac OS X. I made a folder that I called aplications and there I put all the applications I have installed.
But, when I try to open an app from the Docky, it just opens gedit with info about the app I'm trying to open. Is it related that all the application's names are .desktop files? Is that an executable?
Below I leave two caps, the first is of the folder opened in Docky stacks. The second is of what I get when I try to open and application directly from stacks.

Running Maverick Meerkat fairly close to original specs. When launching Rhythmbox from either the command line or the applications menu, the window appears briefly and closes whether or not I interact with it. During its time open (~3sec), it gives no indication that it recognizes input, i.e. menus do not open and buttons do not depress when clicked.
While running from the terminal, the following output is displayed.
Code:
