How can I prevent a program loading on startup? The program does not appear in Preferences / Startup Applications. I want to avoid having to sudo kill all programname every-time I login.
View 2 RepliesI am using ubuntu 10.04 and made some changes in Xorg.conf to try enabling twinview. Unfortunately, Ubuntu just stops at the startup logo now. Is there a way I can stop the loading of X, so I can undo the error in Xorg.conf and hopefully make Ubuntu load normally again? Grub automatically loads Ubuntu, there is no Grub menu that allows loading of some alternative config.

I want to use my BootIt NG boot menu. How would I go about installing Debian 5.0.3 and prevent Grub from loading into MBR? I don't remember being asked by the installer where to put Grub. Unlike Fedora where you can choose MBR or boot section of the target partition. Debian 5.0.3 -
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to prevent the dm_mod and friends from loading during install.I am installing by PXE boot with NFS and kickstart files over http. This works fine for other machines.Ok, I have a Dell PowerEdge 2900 III with 8gig ram, PERC 6/i raid controller.The raid has 8 1TB drives in it, so the total size of the device is >2TB.There is also an SATA drive, which is NOT on the raid controller.
The problem is, I want to install CentOS on the SATA drive. The SATA drive comes up as a device-mapper drive, with a big crazy device name.This is ok, but the problem is, when the system goes to boot, it just says 'missing operating system'.I can't boot from the raid because it is large enough to require a GPT partition, and CentOS says it can't boot from a GPT partition.The SATA drive would work FINE if I could just prevent the damn device mapper from loading, so that I could install on the SATA drive in ordinary SATA mode.
I have tried re-squashing the stage2.img with /etc/modprobe.conf with alias dm_mod off and such, no luck.I also tried adding an /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist file, that did not work either.I also tried putting blacklist= dm_mod in the kickstart file, but that seems to be a fedora-only option and it kills my install. any ideas on preventing the dm_mod et. al. from loading at install time??
I installed 10.04 LTS with great succes on my very old compac armada 500 laptop, but experience the problem of the hanging diskcheck at startup at regural intervals. I read this is a reported bug. My question is: is there any file or methot by which I can prevent diskcheck from running at startup, or put the frequency of running at a very very large number at least until the bug is fixed ?

On Ubuntu Lucid Lynx, 64-bit, 2.6.32-22-generic kernel When I log into the system, the speaker icon in the upper bar is black (just an outline) suggesting there is no sound output available. After further inspection I found that the snd-hda-intel kernel module isn't getting loaded.
I have to load the module myself (using 'modprobe snd-hda-intel') every time I turn on the computer.
I'm having this problem since some time ago, in which the wallpaper won't load at startup. I have to manually go to the Appearance Manager and load it.
Isn't there a way to do this automatically at startup? I know it's kind of a minor thing, but I'm all for aesthetics of my pc.

I removed .recently-used.xbel to avoid recently opened files to be logged, so this explains part of these errors. I had disabled gnome-screensaver but now I would need it to automate screen lock and looks like dbus may be the problem. My .dbus directory is empty.
I have this problem across all my computers running Ubuntu (Lucid and Maverick installations). It works sometimes but it's hit and miss. Sometimes it will load up an iso no problem and i have a start up flash stick in no length of time. Other time's it will not load up an iso. I have tried formatting my flash drive these times but it doesn't make a difference as the drive is always recognised by the program yet i sometimes can't load an iso. When this happens i find that i generally have the same problem at the same time on my other Ubuntu installations. I find it weird. Anyway it's very frustrating when i come across another distro that i really want to try out and i cannot load the iso in the program.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAfter the upgrades have installed on my installation of Ubuntu 10.4 (there were some kernel upgrades, I don't remember if there was any libc update there) it asked me to do a reboot. So I did and I got that error when Ubuntu was starting:
Code:
/bin/sh: error while loading shared libraries: /lib/libc.so.6: invalid ELF header
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
And if I run Ubuntu in recovery mode there's what I get after this:
Code:
Pid: 1, comm: init: Not tainted 2.6.32-22-generic #35-Ubuntu
There's also Call Trace after this, and a bit of text there, but as I'm rewriting those errors from a photo captured (because I cannot find logs of this in /var/log/) I will skip it unless it's needed to solve the problem. EDIT1: I cannot find anybody who had this problem during startup, there are only guys who had this during compiling or installing software
When I startup Rhythmbox music player I have no library. Whats strange is when I click edit/preferences/music and then browse to select my library location (which is already correct), apon selecting the hard drive that my library is on the whole music library suddenly loads and I don't have to re-select my library folder, I just cancel the preferences window. But if I just wait for Rhythmbox to load the library without beginning to remind it where it is, it never loads.

I have updated from 10.2 to 11.1. When 11.1 starts I get into the CLI rather than an automatic startup of KDE. I can login at the CLI, then type "startx" to start KDE. I know there is someway to automatically start KDE when the computer boots, but just can't seem to find it. Can someone point me in the right direction? With 10.2 I was able to automatically load KDE as myself as user and would like to have that again in 11.1.
