    How to autostart apps with sudo priviledges

    When I auto start Jupiter (power saving on eeepc) it doesnt work properly - key settings made in the menu have no effect.

    It does work properly if I run "sudo jupiter-run"

    Is there a way to autostart apps with sudo priviledges?

    Fix /etc/sudoers, or move the Jupiter sudoers group to /etc/sudoers.d. Jupiter should be the very last rule in the chain.

    Thanks, any tips on how to do this?

    I looked at http://www.gratisoft.us/sudo/sudoers.man.html which looks quite scary!

    Move the %jupiter line to the bottom of the file.

    Or putting the command in /etc/rc.local?

    Editing sudoers and rebooting had no effect. Here is my sudoers file:


    Code:
    # This file MUST be edited with the 'visudo' command as root.
    #
    # Please consider adding local content in /etc/sudoers.d/ instead of
    # directly modifying this file.
    #
    # See the man page for details on how to write a sudoers file.
    #
    Defaults	env_reset
    
    # Host alias specification
    
    # User alias specification
    
    # Cmnd alias specification
    
    # User privilege specification
    root	ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
    
    # Members of the admin group may gain root privileges
    %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL
    
    # Allow members of group sudo to execute any command
    %sudo	ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
    
    #includedir /etc/sudoers.d
    %jupiter ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

    I am not sure but I think that you should remove the # sign from the beginning of the second last line:
    Code:
    includedir /etc/sudoers.d
    Otherwise it is only a comment line.

    Where did you get this configuration? The Jupiter group should not be configured like that.

    Code:
    %jupiter ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/lib/jupiter/scripts/bluetooth, /usr/lib/jupiter/scripts/cpu-control, /usr/lib/jupiter/scripts/resolutions, /usr/lib/jupiter/scripts/rotate, /usr/lib/jupiter/scripts/touchpad, /usr/lib/jupiter/scripts/vga-out, /usr/lib/jupiter/scripts/wifi

    That fixed it, thanks funduntu. Jupiter is fantastic.

    (There was no existing config for jupiter - how am I supposed to know this? I just copied the config for sudu)
