Numlockx will not start automatically no matter what

First off, I am running Archlinux 64 and I have setup numlockx many times without any problems. This time however I cannot get it to start automatically when I startx. I have it listed in my ~/.xinitrc before my desktop enviroment;
#!/bin/sh
# ~/.xinitrc
# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)
# exec xterm
xscreensaver -no-splash &
numlockx &
# exec startxfce4
exec openbox-session
# ... or any other WM of your choosing ...
I even tried putting it in my ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh file:
## Run the system-wide support stuff
#.$GLOBALAUTOSTART
(sleep 2 && nitrogen --restore) &
# Programsms that will run after Openbox has started
(sleep 2 && tint) &
(sleep 2 && conky) &
(sleep 2 && DISPLAY=:0.1 openbox) &
(sleep 2 && gnome-settings-daemon) &
(sleep 2 && numlockx) &
(sleep 4 && amixer sset Front 90% unmute && espeak -ven -s145 "Welcome Master. I am here to serve you. It is `date +%H` `date +%M`.") &
If I run it manually, it works perfectly.
Any ideals?
Thanks
BTW Everything else autostarts just fine.

  • Ever since I downloaded the new Firefox, when I right-click on a link to open it in a different tab, the tab will open but will not load anything, no matter what link I try.

    Ever since I downloaded the new Firefox, when I right-click on a link to open it in a different tab, the tab will open but will not load anything, no matter what link I try. The tab will show the website destination in the navigation bar, but will not automatically load it; I have to press the load button in the navigation bar instead of it instantly loading.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == The newest version, 3.6.6, of Firefox was downloaded

    It's not specific sites. I can middle-click on the same link 50 times and it will open it in a new tab 45 times and 5 of those times, it will randomly open it in an entirely new window. I don't know what's causing this.
    It happens so randomly that I don't know how to pin-point what it could be.

  • Verizon Media Manager will not start automatically with Windows, even though it is set to do so.

    Verizon Media Manager will not start automatically with Windows, even though it is set to do so.  This started with the latest update.  I see that the desktop icon for Media Manager now has a security shield on it, and it requires UAC confirmation when you start it, which I don't remember the old version doing.
    One thing I noticed, msconfig.exe shows that "C:\Program Files\Verizon\McciTrayApp.exe" is set to start at Windows startup, but the desktop icon used to start Media Manager manually has a target of ""C:\Program Files\Verizon\Verizon Media Manager\Release\Verizon Media Manager.exe" Verizon Media Manager".
    I don't remember what the previous version was, but this one is 9.4.86.  It asked me if I wanted to update it a few days ago, and I said yes.
    I am running Windows 7 Home Premium.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Try setting the startup option to off and then to on again. It looks to be pointing to a wrong location.
    Attached is a partial screen shot of my msconfig setting.

  • SunONE CS 5.1.1 HTTP Service will Not Start Automatically

    Hello,
    I have just upgraded from iPlanet Calendar Server 5.1 to SunOne Calendar Server 5.1.1. (great improvement). However, the HTTP service will not start automatically on boot anymore. But after the boot sequence, I can start in manually. There are no errors posted to the Event Log so I am not sure what exactly is happening here. Maybe an ICS.CONF setting? I am doing this on Windows NT Server 4.0, SP6a. Any help would be great - thanks.

    This is due to the fact that the directory server was not ready when the calendar needed it. I assume the directory server is running on the same machine as the calendar server.
    What you have todo is the following :
    you must create a dependancy between the http NT service and the LDAP NT service
    - run regedt32.exe
    - goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
    - goto \system\currentcontrolset\services\iplanetcalendarhttpservice5
    - you will see that this entry has alread an attribute with the name DependOnService
    - click on it, and it will open
    - add below tcpip the name of the service of the ldap. This service name can be found in the same
    \system\currentcontrolset\services\
    tree and begins with slapd-<instance-name>
    when you reboot now, the http will wait until the LDAP has succesfully started before starting HTTP.

  • After Upgrade, Windows Service will not start automaticly

    I just upgraded from 10.2 to 10.4. When I did the Windows File Service, will not start automaticly. I can start it manually, after a reboot. Any idea on how to fix this?

    I am having the same problem on a clean install of Server 10.4.10, AFP & Web starts automatically on restart, but not Windows Service. This is the first time I have run into this, it starts fine on all other servers I administer. Then entry in /etc/hostconfig for SMBSERVER is set to "-YES-", there is no errors or messages of any kind in the console or system log, it just won't start.
    This complicated with the problem I am having on the same server where I cannot connect via ARD after reboot without someone there physically plugging a monitor into the video port first (another open post I have - http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=5850246#5850246 ). So, doing maintenance at off-hours is almost unworkable.

  • Why is my location city changed by Firefox to a town I don't live in? I put in my zip code in the weather info and it will not hold it no matter what I do. This is very frustrating and never a problem in the past. IE doesn't have the problem. Help?

    1) Is it a video clip? Something you recognize?  To be clear, it's displaying at a point in your exported movie but doesn't appear at all in the sequence?
    2) What are your sequence settings?  Right-click your sequence and choose "Item Properties" to verify.

  • SPD Workflow will not start automatically for the first entry in a list on any given day (subsequent entries start just fine)

    Hi. I have various workflows on various lists that share a common issue. The first entry of the day on that list will not start the workflow automatically.   We have SharePoint 2013 Foundation. This same issue occurred when we had SharePoint 2010
    as well. Interestingly, I had read about a 'fix' by adding a 5 minute pause at the start of every workflow which worked fine for a while. Now I happened to find that this is no longer working (after I see a bunch of workflows that didn't fire over the past
    month - ugh!).
    I know I'm not the only one with this issue as I ran across others with the issue when I first researched it and found the 'pause fix' a year or so ago and I also talked with someone else during a SP seminar who used this same fix.  NOTE:  These
    are end users creating the items.  It is not logged as a system account.
    Any help would be appreciated.  I have a SharePoint developer I can hire if this is beyond my ability to fix.  I just need some guidance (last time I inquired they weren't aware of this issue). 

    Can you also advise if these are complicated workflows or high traffic lists?

    I found where the services logs are recorded in the event viewer. Funny thing just happened, I was just about to do another reboot so I could check the logs when I noticed there were window updates in q.
    So after running the updates, the os requested to reboot . For the first time, the services started automatically.
    These are the updates which fixes the probem:
    Security Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB2639417)
    Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 9 for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB2618444)

  • TS1717 itunes will not start automatically when the phone is plugged in

    My iTunes will not start on my pc when I plug the phone in and the box to check is greyed out

    iTunes=10.6.1.7
    Windows 7 OS
    iphone 4S=5.1.1
    When I plug the device in it is recognized by the PC, and if I start iTunes is finds it and I can do all functions.
    It seems to me that I used to be able to auto-start iTunes when I first installed it, but now I am not sure if this problem is because I changed phones from a 3g to the 4s....
    I don't know enough about it to try anything......................

  • Keyboard lights will not stay off no matter what I do on my MacBook Pro. Why??

    I've got a MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo.
    I have ALWAYS left the keyboard lights off for the 4 years I have had it.
    But lately, no matter what settings I change or what I try, I cannot PREVENT the keyboard lights from coming on when I've been away from the computer for a long period of time.
    Automatically illuminate keyboard in low light is NOT checked in System Prefs. I have reset the PRAM, and left the laptop off with the battery off for hours in hopes of resetting it.
    Nothing will work. Almost every time I am away from my computer for hours, I come back and the keyboard lights are on. And when I tap the keyboard light brightness buttons, it just gives me the buster symbol (white circle with a line through it) on screen below the keyboard light brightness indicator for a few seconds. Somehow continuing to tap those buttons eventually makes the lights just turn off. Or holding my hands over the whole keyboard to trigger the sensor can suddenly allow me to control the on/off brightness with those buttons again. In which case I try turning the lights off completely or turning the brightness so low that it goes off.
    But once again, when I wake up in the morning, I find the keyboard lights on.
    Now the ONLY thing that has changed since this started happening is that I added a new User account. BUT that should asbolutely not cause this problem. I have checked to see if the System Preferences for the keyboard lights in the new user account were causing a conflict, but no, they are exactly the same as my main account.
    I have not tried deleting the user account yet because I actually want it and would find it very hard to believe that was the culprit. It's just the only thing I can think of that changed shortly before this started happening.
    Is there anything else I can do!?! Is there some preference file that controls the lights somewhere that could be corrupt that I need to trash?
    Thank you for any help anyone can provide. This one has stumped me good.

    From reading up of other forums with the same problem i have come up with two reasons why it is doing that.
    first try doing a smc reset
    if that does not work then it is a hardware error. Many people have had the problem and they have not been able to fix it so good luck

  • Movie will not start automatically on slide in Keynote 09

    I have watched the "how to" videos, read the manual and appear to be doing exactly what was instructed to add video and audio.  Nothing is working.  The movie will only start on a click (I selected "start automatically") and in preview mode - not in the presentation itself when playing. 

    I had the same problem. Here is what you need to do:
    1. Collect all your videos in one folder on your Mac
    2 Through iTune transfer them to iPad via photo. Now they will be on your iPad
    3. Open your presentation in Keynote on iPad.
    4. Delete he video.
    5. paste he video from your folder with the video in your iPad
    6. automate it to come as a cube.
    All set to go
