« How to fix Desktop Effects aren’t enable for intel integrated graphic in Jaunty

Automatic Startup of uShare on Jaunty Jackalope (9.04)

Issue: Because I am running wireless the ushare would always fail to load because it was loading to quickly before the wireless had a chance to reconnect with the router.

Solution

Created a simple script with the following lines:

sleep 10
ushare -x -c /sharepath

This makes it so that it waits 10 seconds before running the command. Then make the script executable.

sudo chmod -x scriptname

Add the script to the Startup Applications list:

System >> Preferences >> Startup Applications

create a new entry and point the command to the script you created.

Now reboot and test if it works, if it doesnt you may need to add more time to the sleep command in the script.
