[Solved] Too much applications start at boot up !

Hello !
I apologize in advance for my poor English ...
So I used to run GNOME as my Desktop Environment, and I set some applications to start at boot up, such as Tilda, Cairo-dock, conky ...
Now, I'm using OpenBox, and some applications start, even if they're not in my autostart.sh !
So, here is my autostart.sh
# Run the system-wide support stuff
. $GLOBALAUTOSTART
# Programs to launch at startup
xcompmgr -t-5 -l-5 -r4.2 -o.55 &
# Programs that will run after Openbox has started
(sleep 2 && conky) &
So in this case, xcompmgr and conky starts, but cairo-dock and conky too, even if they're not here my autostart.
How can I control these applications ?
This problem is like a window$ problem, so I must do something !
Thanks a lot !
PS: I have some kde4 packages installed (because they were needed for some dependencies problems ...)

[solved] systemd services not starting at boot (or at all)

On my router, some systemd services fail to start at boot.
The services are :
adsl (pppoe connetction on the wan interface)
shorewall (funny again for a router)
logind (brings up only tty1, and not the others with a 'timeout' error)
adsl starts fine manually after booting up
the others don't work, I have to launch shorewall with the old sysvinit rc script (and it works)
I really don't know, what happened to logind...
Last edited by scar (2012-11-30 10:20:44)

cups: avahi client failed
adsl: timeout (ppp0 running on eth0, the service did not found eth0)
shorewall: did not work by the systemctl command, only with the old rc script
I'm not sure if there was an error with logind, but I've had only tty1, not all the others (I have not touched /etc/inittab)
since this was a very old install (but up to date), I've decided to reinstall the whole thing,
Everything works
(But reinstalling does not solve any problem, it erases the problems...)

[solved] wireless doesn't start at boot

I have BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI (rev 01) which works with b43 + wpa_supplicant nicely, except I can't seem to get to automagically start at boot time.
wlan0 always times out (wired connects at boot time just fine). I'd like my laptop to automatically connect to one of two networks, else remain disconnected.
Once started I can always netcfg2 <network name> and it connects no problem... I must have missed something in the wireless setup but I can't find what it is.
my rc.conf:
# /etc/rc.conf - Main Configuration for Arch Linux

and my network.d/<network name>
CONNECTION="wireless"
INTERFACE=wlan0
SCAN="yes"
SECURITY="wpa-config"
ESSID="BCSI"

when I look for wpa_supplicant after a boot, it is not running ( ps aux | grep wpa ).
wlan0 is up right after boot:

but since wpa_supplicant isn't running, it won't associate.
I'm misunderstading (I think) how netcfg2 is used during startup, I thought the line `NETWORKS=("auto-wireless wlan0")` would tell netcfg2 to try /etc/network.d/*
thanks for looking

I am stuck on figuring out what happens here. Did anybody else have this issue?

Is FC Studio too much application for hobbyist?

I visited my son at his college today. They have the academic version of the latest final cut studio for sale in the student store for $299. That's a steal compared to what it sells for in the Apple Store.
My MBP 2.0 is a little over 3 years old and i'm not sure if it can handle the demands of FCS. I have about 20 gigs of space on my internal HD and a few external drives with about 1tb of free space.
I edit using FC express now and do ok. But the $299 price is almost too hard to pass up.
I don't mind paying the $299 but I don't want to do it if my MBP would not be able to handle it.
I'd appreciate your thoughts and comments.
Thanks.

Umm, because how you're suggesting they go about it, is a breach of the License Agreement? i.e. ILLEGAL ?
Sorry, but the licenses are NOT open to our interpretation. Just because you think we should be able to act however we want, doesn't make it right. In doubt? Ask an attorney to clarify it for you. See, there is no gray area here. If you suppose Studio X is being strict, well that's fine: that's the only way to be. You either keep it 100% legit and legal. Or you don't! There is no middle-of-the-road here! Sorry.
This is just like the people who ASSUME that it's A-Okay to use any music that they want in their videos because it's only for "private" use. Again, we don't have the luxury to interpret the law however we want. Despite our infinite ability to rationalize it.
So how do you try the software? Go to an Apple Store and have an employee show you as much as possible with FCE and/or FCP. Play around with them for a couple hours. Insufficient? Too bad.
And who says Apple is the ONLY way to go? Don't like the fact they don't have trial versions? Go to adobe.com and download their 30 day trial for Premiere! Tools are tools! Do you want to be an editor or a button-pusher? Point is: a great carpenter is great despite whose name is stamped on his hammer. Çraftsman, Stanley - irrelevant. Sure you have to commit to "someone's buttons" to start pushing in order to get the editing experience - I get it! But FCP doesn't help you make editing decisions. Neither does Premiere, or AVID, or Vegas, Quantel, Smoke....
I'm not so naive to think that there aren't 1,000's of people using FCP (& the Suite) illegally. However, when we get folks on the "fringe", like our OP here, it's our duty to bring them into the fold of 100% legitimacy. We should NOT be encouraging anything but this. Bending the rules IS breaking the rules!
If we can guide our "peers", is it best to have them steal the software outright, bootleg it? Completely and blatantly break the law? Or is it better to encourage them to break the law a LITTLE bit, by spending some money, while still breaking the license agreement? Some money is better than nothing, right? Sounds like you're condoning the latter.

[SOLVED]dhcpcd does not start on boot anymore

Hello,
I reinstalled Arch last night to try and be as to the letter as possible because I had three bad installs( or so I thought https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=195192 ) and it was going well. I tweaked some SSD Optimization configs and went to bed.
Today I wanted to install OpenBox so first I tried to update my system with pacman -Syu (without reading the change log or anything of course) and I couldn't download anything. A quick ping to google.com gave an unknown host error. Nothing has changed over night and I rebooted the machine last night a couple of times and I always had internet connection. The guide said that dhcpcd runs automatically on boot and I looked through the change logs at the places I understood and couldn't find anything about this being disabled on boot now. I do see that it was updated in the last 24 hours but again, nothing about auto run on boot being disabled.
Little things like this bug me, I can enable the service using systemctl and call it a day but I was wondering if I was the only one experiencing this. If I'm the only one then it probably isn't a good thing.
SOLVED: Did not read the Beginner's Guide within context of the installation medium.

What packages were upgraded? If I am understanding you correctly, dhcpcd was enabled and working fine before the upgrade, but after the upgrade dhcpcd appears to be disabled. Is that correct? Two bits of informaiton you should post here are the complete list of updated packages and the output of
systemctl status dhcpcd
SirMyztiq wrote:Nothing has changed over night and I rebooted the machine last night a couple of times and I always had internet connection.
You previously say you upgraded then went to bed, so that would be the change. I'm a little confused by these seemingly contradictory assertions.
I apologize for the confusion.
I'll give you the current list of packages as soon as I install a browser on my machine(I'm on my laptop) but I can tell you that all I had last night was the "base" and "base-devel" packages installed. I mainly did tweaking like setting the scheduler dynamically on my ssd to "deadline" following the SSD Optimization wiki and read a bit about OpenBox to make sure I get it right. I also rebooted the computer a couple of times to check for that "time out" bug I mentioned. It all checked out, so I went to bed.
I power her up today, try to do a system update and I wasn't able to. A ping to google.com gave me an "unknown host" error. I checked both the "status" and whether it was "enabled" with their respective systemctl commands and both gave me the feedback that it was not active nor was it enabled.
I'll edit the original post to be more clear and look like I have some grasp of English.

[SOLVED] Nouveau Module not starting at boot. Starts with modprobe.

I am currently using 64 bit arch linux along with grub2 for the boot loader. When I boot into arch the nouveau does not look to start. If I run dmesg it has no mention of it. Once I am in the system I can run modprobe nouveau and it starts up fine.
my mkinitcpio.conf has the following for the modules configuration: MODULES="nouveau"
I have rebuilt the image with "mkinitcpio -p linux" and remade the grub configuration with "grub-mkconfig -o /dev/sda" . I also made sure nouveau was not in the modprobe blacklist because I did have the nvidia drivers installed before hand.
Any ideas on why nouveau doesn't start after Grub?
Last edited by PupNSuds (2013-10-18 01:49:41)

Thank you for pointing that out. I did follow that but I forgot I had also tried an older NVIDIA driver 304 to be exact. So instead of running the exact command they had I ran "pacman -Qs nvidia" which displayed the following.
local/libvdpau 0.7-1
Nvidia VDPAU library
local/nvidia-304xx 304.108-8
NVIDIA drivers for linux, 304xx legacy branch
local/xf86-video-nouveau 1.0.9-1 (xorg-drivers xorg)
Open Source 2D acceleration driver for nVidia cards
So knowing the package name I removed it with the same command but with the proper NVIDIA version. "pacman -Rdds nvidia-304xx" . Every thing seems to be working now. Thank you again.

How do I disable this debugging?
Could not get much information from Google.
Last edited by amish (2015-02-09 15:16:01)

Instead of disabling all logs. Here is better solution is to disable just debug output:
QT_LOGGING_RULES="*.debug=false"
export QT_LOGGING_RULES
Instead of putting in /etc/environment file, its put in /usr/bin/startkde
From: https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/12190 … 8977line12
Hopefully it will be in next KDE release.
Also adding above made KDE a bit faster and more responsive on my system.

Too much memory used ,nothing boots up after password .Help!

I am having trouble after I enter my password the screen gets stuck on the login picture of stars .i have a low memory warning pop up when I enter my password . Is there any way I can fix this ?

That is the warning you get when you don't have enough hard drive space for the OS to run properly. Since you can't get the system to boot up properly from the internal drive you will need to use a external drive to boot the system, that is after you install OS X on that external, and move or delete files from the internal drive.
If you don't know how to do any of that ask a friend that has more computer knowledge than you do to help you do it.

After the full clean installation of Lion, the MBP 13" has started too be too much slow. How can i check it out in order to solve this big problem? tks in advance!

After i completed a full and clean installation of Lion, (it's to say not upgrading Snow Leopard but inizialing the hd and installing the new OS), every operations have started to make the laptop too much slow just working on Safari or Iphoto. How can i check out if everything is running finely or searchinf out something wrong?
thanks in advance

BS heißt "Bull___****". *lol* "Betriebssystem" heißt imemr noch "operating system". GoLive wirste wohl gar nicht zum laufen kriegen. ohnehin würde man es nicht mehr verwenden, weil es noch nicht mal CSS2 voll unterstützt geschweige denn HTML 5 und andere moderne Webstandards. Wenn überhaupt, dann findeste vielleicht noch 'ne OEM CD von Strato oder 1und1 bei eBay. Die haben das damals mit jedem neuen Hostingvertrag rausgehauen. Aber wie gesagt, es ist den Aufwand nicht wert. Illustrator sollte sich durchaus installieren lassen. Eventuell einfach nochmal die Installer im Win XP Kompatibilitätsmodus laufen lassen...

White MacBook takes too much time to boot up

Hi there.
I got the topcase(keyboard) of my MacBook repaired. (White MacBook 2006) and after that it takes nearly 7 up to 10 seconds after pressing the power button that I first see apple logo and it boots up.
I'm not sure but seems like that detecting the hardwares take too much time .
any solution?
PS: I'm running Snow Leopard(10.6.2)
