Ubuntu :: Set-up Virtualbox To Auto-run Upon Startup?

Jul 10, 2010

Is there a way to set-up Virtualbox to auto-run upon startup.

I am working on my mothers computer and she has to have Windows for Internet Explorer. The websites she has to go on for work require IE6+, and there are a couple programs she has to run that only works with windows may work with Wine.

But she wants something more stable than windows... She has really bad luck when it comes to Windows, so I was talking to her about Ubuntu. After thinking everything over, If I could get her computer to startup with Virtualbox and run Win XP in it all her problems may be solved.She has 2 computers so I can play with one of them to figure it all out and she can play and learn Ubuntu.

Ubuntu :: How Can I Auto-mount Drives On Startup

Dec 28, 2010

I've been trying to unsuccessfully auto-mount my drives when starting up. I've made a script that sets me to the root using "sudo -s" and then mounts the drives. The commands to mount the drives work properly when entered into the command line, but when I try running them from an executable, they don't work. What might I be missing?

Ubuntu :: Freezes At Startup (Auto-Mount)

Jul 28, 2011

I was trying to automount a few NTFS partitions last night. Upon reboot, I got the following error messages.

/device/sda2 ... is not ready or present

Then Ubuntu just freezes. I am using Ubuntu Natty, if that helps. I am currently unable to get into Ubuntu without a LiveCD.

Ubuntu :: Auto Logoff Command When Startup App Is Terminated

Dec 17, 2010

I am using Ubuntu as the client machine operating system. I have a start up program to connect to a Windows terminal Server. I am needing assistance in how I can force the client to logoff if the terminal connection is terminated for any reason. This is more of a security issue as we do not want the students using the computer to access the loacl machine at all. The program works great on boot, but it shows the home screen when terminated.

Red Hat :: Auto Startup Of WebSphere App Server After DB2?

Apr 8, 2011

I am trying to configure Red Hat ES to automatically start WebSphere Application Server (WAS) automatically upon boot after DB2 services (which already start on boot) are loaded to avoid WAS errors. Note that WAS runs under the jvm so there are processes named WAS or WebSphere when it is running.

My question is, do any of you know a way to setup Linux to automatically start WAS after DB2 services have been successfully started? The web apps running under WAS will have errors if DB2 is not up and running when WAS starts up. I think a 30 - 60 min delay between startup of DB2 and startup of WAS would work perfectly. I am not sure which config file would need to be updated with the call to command to start WAS (I have the command, just don't know where to put it) nor do I know how to ensure DB2 is running before WAS starts in a config file. Right now, I have DB2 loading on boot and WAS starting after I login to xterm.

Ubuntu :: VirtualBox Guest Attempts To Mount Shared Folders Twice At Startup?

May 1, 2010

Moved to virtualization forum: [URL].. I just upgraded my Ubuntu VirtualBox guest to Lucid. My host machine shares two folders with the guest. I have them listed in my /etc/fstab so they're automatically mounted:

share /mnt/share vboxsf defaults 0 0 For some reason, it looks like Ubuntu attempts to mount these shared folders twice. The first time, the mount doesn't succeed, but the second time, it does, so by the time I actually log in, the shares work properly.

Karmic would just print an error message at boot, but now Lucid makes me press a key to continue booting when the mount fails. Ideally, I'd like to figure out how to make the first mount attempt work properly. But if that's complicated, just disabling Lucid's prompt would make me happy.

Ubuntu Networking :: Network Doesn't Auto-connect At Startup

Jan 5, 2010

I have a Broadcom 4312 wireless chip. I have use the STA drivers that Ubuntu recommends. I can connect quite easily just by clicking on the icon, so this is more than a niggle than a problem.

My network isn't protected as we live in the middle of nowhere (quite literally) and network theft isn't a problem. We also run a self-catering cottage, and let guests have free access to our network anyway, so it is easier for guests to access our network without me having to give them all the key. When I did use wpa, it would start itself up with the laptop, so I kind of know that this might be the cause. Is there any way I can fix it without encrypting the network?

Ubuntu :: Alsa Mixer Auto Mutes Speakers On Startup.

Feb 9, 2011

I've got an Acer 7736 and had quite a few issues with no sound after my install of 10.10. After quite a bit of fiddling I managed to get that sorted and I now how have sound. I believe I'm using alsa although pulse also does seem to be on here. The reason I say I believe I'm using alsa is that after startup, I have no sound on speakers unless I unmute it in alsamixer.

As I understand it alsa's supposed to save your settings on logout/shutdown/reboot but this doesn't appear to be the case, and I'm not able to find any asound.conf or the like in the places they're apparently supposed to be.

Software :: VirtualBox : Start And Shutdown Guests VMs On Startup?

Jun 21, 2010

I'm preparing a vitualization server (host) with VirtualBox. This machine, running Debian, is intended to run in HeadLess mode, without GUI.
I've got some guests VMs running. But I was wondering about the best way to start this guests VMs on startup and shut them down kindly when host is shutdwon.

Virtual Machines run under non-root user. I was thinking about making a script in /etc/init.d/ in order to start certain VMs and to stop every VM running when system is halted. Is this really the simplest and most secure approach?
Actually I couldn't find very much on this subject in user manual or googlin' around.

Ubuntu :: Auotomount Hard Drive - Can Get The Backups HD To Auto-mount On Startup But Not The Data HD

Dropbox will not start properly because my Lucid installation is on a SS HD (/dev/sdc) but my data, including my Dropbox folder is on an internal NTFS-formatted HD (/dev/sda), and I also have another internal HD for backups (/dev/sdb).

For some reason I can get the backups HD to auto-mount on startup, but not the data HD. My fstab file looks like this:

Fedora Networking :: Auto-mount With Samba - Isn't Working During Startup ?

Jul 24, 2011

I have edited my /etc/fstab file in order to have it automatically mount a windows network share at startup.

The problem is, that it isn't really working during startup. After I log in, in order to make it mount I have to open the terminal and enter "mount -a".

The following is my fstab file:

Code:

I suspect this has something to do with my laptop not having made a network connection when the entries are mounted, but I'm not sure. How would I go about finding out about any errors?

Ubuntu Security :: Ecryptfs Doesn't Auto-decrypt With Auto-login

Jan 6, 2011

I recently installed 32bit maverick and wanted to make it login automatically. I tried enabling auto login from Admin > Login but that didnt work and I was still prompted for my password. Then I went to Users & Groups and changed the password option to Do Not ask for password at login now after I reboot, the user list is shown (only 1 user) and it doesnt ask for password after I click on my username.

However, then it gives a few errors (as i vaguely recall):

1. cannot load .ICE directory in my home directory
2. some error 256 about a gconf-sanity-2 file
3. nautilus cannot load my home directory etc

and then it gets stuck without loading anything (blank wallpaper). i ve tried navigating to my home directory using Alt F2, gksudo nautilus and my home dir contents are encrypted by the ecryptfs (there is a readme.txt file and a shortcut). i have tried to decrypt but it doesnt work... i ve also tried to start/stop gdm, and startx but nothing works. if i stop gdm, then the prompt doesnt recognize my password and keeps on rejecting the commands i enter... I think this has something to do with the home dir not being decrypted due to the dont ask for paswd option... how can i disable the dont ask for pwd without the gui (i can access my / by booting through an external usb).

Ubuntu :: Auto Run (auto Exec) A Script On Mounting A Device?

Mar 16, 2010

I would like to exec a script whenever a user mount a device. The device could be an internal device (for example a partition on a second hard disk) or a removable one (for example a usb hard disk). The script must have sudo capabilities even if the user is not included in the admin group. Is it possible?

The specific question:
I would like to add acl option to a device whenever it is mounted.
I tried fstab but it's changing the behaviour of nautilus see:

[URL]... so I would like to create a script with the command

Code:
sudo mount -o remount,acl /media/data
and auto execute it any time data is mounted.

Networking :: Ethernet Auto-connect / Auto-sense Doesn't Work

Feb 3, 2011

I have noticed that a common issue to several distros is the fact that the networking subsystem doesn't automatically detect the link if an ethernet connection is disconnected and then re-connected to the NIC after boot. If the ethernet cable is connected after the system is up and running, nothing happens - ethtool eth0 shows link detected: no, and you have to restart the network service to let the NIC know that there is in fact a link, and actually connect. I have a Fedora14 (KDE) box with a brand new Asus motherboard with embedded NIC. Everything works great except the auto-detect of a freshly connected ethernet connection if the link is down to begin with.

Am I missing a ethernet link sentinel utility or something, or is this just the way linux works? I have done plenty of research on plenty of posts, and it seems this is a common problem, with no solution other than manually or programatically restarting the network service in a script to detect the link after a disconnect.

Debian Configuration :: Auto-login And Auto-connect To Networks

Jun 3, 2010

I press On-button, Debian boots, logs in and automatically connects to the Wireless network AND! to my local pc via LAN. It runs an ssh server, so I can ssh into debian over internet and communicate with the local pc (send a magic packet).Here are my problems:

1) I don't how to log in automatically. This and this doesn't work.
2) I need a network tool that can manage multiple connections and has a reconnect feature. With the default network manager I cannot even connect to more than one network simultaneously although I have two network devices of course.

And I guess I can run all that in console mode, right?

CentOS 5 :: Software RAID Auto Sensing Auto Rebuild Possible?

Jul 23, 2010

I recently installed a server with Software RAID. I tested by powering it down, unplugging one drive and powering it up. Magically, it worked!I found out later that I have to manually add individual devices like md1 to sda2 md2 to sda4. I got all of them added and rebuilt but my question is: Is there a way to make it so that if I "removed" a drive and put it back, the system will senses the new drive and rebuilds based on some internal table?
