By KrazyPenguin
Created On: 12.30.05
This guide shows how to easily install Firestarter, and have your system start without the root password prompt with Firestarter minimized to the system tray.
1) Install Firestarter using Add Applications
Open Applications (top left of screen) --> Click on “Add Applications” (bottom of menu)
After the password prompt the “Add Applications” GUI will open, then type in the search box “firestarter” and enter.
After a few seconds the search brings up “Firestarter”, check the little box to the left of it, and then click “Apply” on the bottom right. A “Changes Pending” box will appear saying that Firestarter is to be Added. Click apply to install.
Note: Firestarter will be automatically added to Applications --> System Tools --> Firestarter
2) Giving the user permission to launch Firestarter without the root password.
Open a terminal and type: sudo gedit /etc/sudoers
Add this line to the bottom: username ALL=NOPASSWD:/usr/sbin/firestarter
Save the file and close the terminal.
Note: Make sure “username” is your actual username ;-)
3) Start Firestarter
Alt – F2 (to Run Application) or open a terminal and type:
sudo firestarter
The Wizard should open and will ask for some information. Go here for more help:

4) Minimize Firestarter to tray on window close.
With Firestarter already open click --> Preferences --> check “Minimize to tray on window close”
5) Launching Firestarter minimized to the tray on login.
System --> Preferences --> Sessions --> Startup Programs --> Add
Enter this line:
sudo firestarter –start-hidden
.....and click Ok and you're done.
6) Stop Firestarter from loading on login.
System --> Preferences --> Sessions --> Startup Programs
Click on “sudo firestarter –start-hidden” and then choose “Delete”.
7) Remove Firestarter using Add Applications.
Open Applications --> Click on “Add Applications”
After the password prompt the “Add Applications” GUI will open, then type in the search box “firestarter” and enter.
After a few seconds the search brings up “Firestarter”, UNcheck the little box to the left of it, and then click “Apply” on the bottom right. A “Changes Pending” box will appear saying that Firestarter is to be removed. Click apply to remove.
