[SLiM] Execute xrandr commands on startup

Okay, so here's the issue. I've got Nvidia optimus drivers to work. I can successfully get into my session with startx.
But to make it work, I need to put two xrandr commands in my .xinitrc file. Therefore, it doesn't do anything for my login manager.
How can I make this work with my login manager? This is my .xinitrc file:
#!/bin/bash
xrandr --setprovideroutputsource modesetting NVIDIA-0
xrandr --auto
Without these lines, I just get a black screen. I can't find any solution yet.

#!/bin/bash
xrandr --setprovideroutputsource modesetting NVIDIA-0
xrandr --auto
exec awesome
That's my whole .xinitrc file.
I'm not trying to figure out how to run this when I log in. I'm trying to figure out how to run the xrandr commands when SLiM starts up X to display the log in manager.

  • Intel Graphics and xrandr commands at startup

    Hi all, I am new at Arch.  I'm trying to setup a P4 computer as a media player.  It is hooked up to 40" LCD panel.  The computer has Intel 845 graphics and no open PCI slots, so I am stuck with using the onboard graphics for the resolution I want.  I was able to do this with Ubuntu/Gnome by adding these lines to /etc/gdm/init.d/default
    xrandr --newmode "1920x1080" 148.5 1920 2008 2052 2200 1080 1089 1095 1125 +hsync +vsync
    xrandr --addmode VGA1 1920x1080
    xrandr --output VGA1 --mode  1920x1080
    That solved the problem, I got a great picture but the OS with Gnome was hogging all my memory.  I've tried lighter distros but, if I run this as an executable script after the window manager loads, the screen doesn't render properly.  I've only been able to get Gnome or XFCE to work properly.  With XFCE, I ran it as a shell script in the autostart applications.
    My question is, where is the best place to run these commands in the Arch startup sequence?  If I get this to run at the proper time, should I be able to use LXDE or E17?

    I think Intel drivers need KMS and KMS doesn't like video= or vga= options in the kernel line.
    The video= option is kernel mode setting, you can use it to do stuff like really disable the LCD on a laptop when you're using an external monitor - xrandr only works in Xorg and the connector will probably still be powered on.
    You can use video= to use a framebuffer (similar to vga=), and that would probably break any KMS driver because you're trying to use two at once.
    Best source a quick google can find (go down to forcing modes):

  • Executing terminal command at startup

    What is the easiest way to execute a terminal command when OSX starts up?

    OS X has used Launchd to run startup items since Tiger (10.4). Create a .plist for the program
    you want to run and putting it in the /Library/launchAgents or the $HOME/Library/LaunchAgents
    directory, if you only want it to run at user login. Optionally, for user startup items, you can add
    the command to the Account login items, but it has to be in the form of a standalone unix script
    or automator app to work correctly as an Account login item.
    Here are some background resources on launchd:
    http://www.macgeekery.com/tips/allabout_launchd_items_and_how_to_make_oneyourself
    http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPSystemS tartup/Articles/LaunchOnDemandDaemons.html
    http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/m an5/launchd.plist.5.html
    Here is a Gui app that can help you create launchd items:
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/lingon/files/
    Here is a thread on using Account login items to launch scripts and automator apps:

    Now, go start something.

    Besides a lot of other errors the problem was the systray. It was created 2 times, now login works again. I figured that out via enabling logging for awesome in the xinitrc again.

    Hi,
    I have the same kind of issue after updated slim from v1.3.4-4 to v1.3.5-1.

  • How to execute a Terminal command on startup?

    Greetings!
    Is it possible to automatically run a Terminal command at startup? (Specifically - a hwprefs command.)
    If so, could you please detail the steps involved?
    Many thanks!

    OK, then, that's pretty straight forward. You can write a small AppleScript like so:
    set mystring to do shell script "Insert Command String Here" with administrator privileges
    If you need to run the command with root permission then insert "sudo" before the command line, i.e., "sudo commandline". You will need to authenticate in this case so add "with adminstrator privileges" after the command string, i.e.,
    do shell script "sudo command string" with administrator privileges
    Compile the script as a run-only application then add the compiled script to your Login Items (Accounts preference pane.)
    Note that your command line will need the fully qualified path to the command.

  • Executing shell commands from Java.

    I want to execute shell commands in Java using the Runtime.exec( String ) method.
    The method works fine under Linux OS, but under Windows '98 the method didn't work at all!
    For example the following call: Runtime.exec( "dir" ) throws an exception showing that the command was not completed. If I replace dir with ls under Linux all is good. What is the problem with the Microsoft Windows '98 ? Is there any solution at my problem ?!
    thx in advance!

    hey JSarmis,
    You can help me... "ls" doesn't work for me on linux.. using Runtime.exec, some commands work, others don't... you may hold the key to what i need? How did u get "ls" to work?

  • How to Execute shell commands in OSB

    Team,
    My Requirement:
    I have two sftp servers name ServerA and ServerB. Need to copy files from ServerA and place it on ServerB and change the file permissions to 777 after placing the files.
    The user i am connecting to ServerB has the access to override file permissions.
    Steps
    1. With help of FTP adapter in OSB I am reading files from ServerA and writing on to ServerB  -- Completed and is working.
    2. How to override file permissions after placing the file ????? -- Yet to implement.
    Please suggest me how can i accomodate 2nd step.
    Thanks,
    Suman V.

    If by "execute shell commands" you mean actually
    running a shell process (as opposed to just forking
    and executing specified programs) then I'd advise
    against it. The last thing you want is for the
    clients to be running arbitrary commands on the
    server. You don't want to make it possible for the
    client to run "rm -fr /" on your server.Right.
    I was assuming (perhaps with more optimism than is really warranted) that the OP was going to be in complete control of which commands were executed--that there'd be a small, fixed set in response to certain user actions.

  • Getting an error while executing ddl commands using dblink

    Hi,

  • Problem while executing a command using exec()

    I'm trying to execute a command on Unix O/S with the help of java program. For this I have used Runtime class available in java.lang. It works fine for some of the basic unix commands like 'ls','cp' but when I tried to execute command "sqlldr userid=<user>/<pwd> control=/u01/dw/snb/log/sp_shd05721_ins_stg_sqlldr.ctl" , then it's not getting executed. Please advise.

    You may be having a problem with the command path, which I don't think Runtime.exec() uses. Try specifying the full path

  • How can I connect to a UNIX server to execute a command?

    How can I connect to a UNIX server and execute a command using PowerShell? My shell script is sitting on one server, while the UNIX box is on another.
    also, I don't like the idea of hardcoding a username/password within the script file in order to do so.
    -Nothing to see. Move along.

    You will need a library to handle SSH connections.
    I'm using SSH.NET, you can find info on it here : http://www.powershelladmin.com/wiki/SSH_from_PowerShell_using_the_SSH.NET_library
    It has a bit of a learning curve but the web site has some fairly good tutorials.

  • Executing UNIX command in Java

    I am having problems executing a command in Java. Here's the code I have for executing:
    Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
                                            BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
         while((display = input.readLine()) != null)
                             num_1 = Double.parseDouble(display);
                             percent = (num_1 * 100) / (50000000);
                        flip = 1;
                        catch(IOException e)
                        e.printStackTrace();     
                        System.exit(1);
    Now, when I run the script, I receive the following errors:
    Exception occurred during event dispatching:

    Unable to run signed applet with Netscape 4.79 and IE5.5
    native JVM.
    REGRESSION.  Last worked in version 1.3.1
    STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
    1.compile program and copy class files to a temp directory
    2.sign the applet for Netscape as follows:
    signtool -k aok -d \progra~1\netscape\users\viravan -Z
    FIO.jar temp
    3.sign the applet for Internet Explorer as follows:
    cabarc -p n FileIO.cab FileIO*.class
    setreg 1 true
    makecert -sk aok -n "CN=aok" aok.cer
    cert2spc aok.cer aok.spc
    signcode -j javasign.dll -jp LOWX -spc aok.spc -k aok
    FileIO.cab
    Run the applet with the following HTML file:
    <html><head><Title>Self-Signed Applet</Title>
    <script>
    document.layers ? parm=1 : parm=0;
    </script>
    <body>
    This file I/O applet lets you read and write to the user's
    local disk.<br>
    <br>
    <script>
    document.writeln('<APPLET CODE = "FileIO" CODEBASE = "."
    ARCHIVE = "FIO.jar" WIDTH = 10 HEIGHT = 10 NAME = "JSF">');
    document.writeln('<param name="Netscape"
    value="'+parm+'">');
    document.writeln('<param name="cabbase"
    value="FileIO.cab">');
    document.writeln('</APPLET>');
    </script>
    </body>
    </html>
    EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
    A frame with a textarea and some buttons should popup in the
    center of the screen.

  • How to invoke BASH shell and execute a command in that shell in Windows 98

    Hello, I have a problem and if somebody will help me, I will be very glad. Thank you.
    I am using BASH shell on Windows 98 OS by means of CYGWIN. And I want to invoke this BASH shell and execute a preprogrammed command in the shell (./scan fileName.txt) from a JAVA program. But so far, I am not sucessful. I can not read or write anything from / to BASH shell. It either blocks and freezes (When I use waitFor( ) ) or appears and disappears without executing scan command (When I do not use waitFor( ) ). My code is like this:
    // This method is used for compiling a file.
    // It invokes BASH shell and executes "./scan fileName.txt" command
    public void compileFileMethod () {
    try {
    Process proc = ( Runtime.getRuntime() ).exec ("C:\\MyDocuments\\CYGWIN.BAT); //I also tried to add -c ./scan fileName.txt after .BAT );
    // I also tried to write "C:\\MyDocuments\\BASH.EXE" but it did not help
    OutputStream ostr = proc.getOutputStream();
    BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter ( new OutputStreamWriter (ostr) );
    InputStream istr = proc.getInputStream();
    BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader ( new InputStreamReader (istr) );
    InputStream errorStr = proc.getErrorStream();
    BufferedReader errorBr = new BufferedReader ( new InputStreamReader (errorStr) );
    bw.write("scan case40.10.txt"); /* I am trying to input the scan command to the shell,but it is not working*/
    bw.flush();
    Vector list = new Vector (1) ;
    String str;
    while ( (str = br.readLine() ) != null) {
    list.addElement(str);
    } // End of while
    Enumeration enumForList = list.elements();
    while ( enumForList.hasMoreElements() ) {
    String tempString;
    tempString = ( String ) enumForList.nextElement();
    System.out.println(tempString); // I am trying to read the outputs of the scan command but it is not reading (I can not see any output)
    I tried with and without waitFor( ), it did not work
    // wait for command to terminate
    proc.waitFor();
    // close streams
    br.close();
    bw.close();
    errorBr.close();
    } // End of try
    catch ( IOException ioe ) {
    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog (null, "Input / output error occured while compiling file ", "Error", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
    } // End of catch
    catch ( SecurityException se ) {
    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog (null, "Security error occured while compiling file ", "Error", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
    catch ( InterruptedException ie ) {
    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog (null, "Interruption error occured while compiling file ", "Error", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
    } // End of method compileFileMethod
    // Thank you for your helps and time.

    You cannot invoke BAT files directly, you have to invoke the program that run those files which is your Windows 98 shell. For example (under windows 2000), i would invoke "cmd.exe sricpt.bat some args", rather than "script.bar some args".
    Hope this will help you out.
