Hello list,
I can read here:
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/16/html/Release_Notes/sect-Release_Notes-Changes_for_Sysadmin.html
the following:
3.2.4. rc.local no longer packaged
The |/etc/rc.d/rc.local| local customization script is no longer
included by default. Administrators who need this functionality
merely have to create this file, make it executable, and it will run
on boot. Upgrades are not affected by this change.
However, in my system this isn't happening.
...snip...
## Defaults brightness to maximum.
echo 10> /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
I would expect this to work. Does it?
## Enables mousepad tapping in LXDE.
synclient TapButton1=1
This will fail. synclient needs a DISPLAY to work with. When rc.local
is run it's before there's any X session and thus no display. I would
expect this to not work.
## Enables mousepad vertical scrolling in LXDE.
synclient VertEdgeScroll=1
Ditto above.
#exit 0
However, if I run the file manually, it loads OK.
From an active X session? Yes, I would expect that to work since you
have a DISPLAY.
Can you please give me a tip on this?
I would look at making these into a script, then give it a desktop file
and set it to autostart in your desktop env. At that point it should
have a display and work.
Best regards,
kevin
You're right Kevin.
In fact that first line of rc.local was being loaded.
I've done what you told me (create sh script, add it to auto-loaded
programs) and it's working now.
Thanks everyone!
