I am new to Ubuntu and just found this util. All I can say is WOW! This makes chromium start up nearly as fast as I can click the icon. Amazing tool. Thank you, graysky for it.

Hi graysky
Does your script run auto or does one have to manually start it up in some way.

Where specifically will it show that it will run if I might ask please?

No, you will need to start the daemon.Hi graysky
Does your script run auto or does one have to manually start it up in some way.
Where specifically will it show that it will run if I might ask please?
1) Edit /etc/psd.conf to define your user(s) and optionally your browsers.
2) To preview what profiles will be managed, run3) When happy, start the daemonCode:$ psd pIt will autorun on reboot. Enjoy.Code:$ sudo service psd start

Is this the correct output that I should have recieved?
Code:user@user-desktop:~$ sudo service psd start user@user-desktop:~$

Yes. Query status:
You may also ask psd directly:Code:% service psd status * profile-sync-daemon is running
Code:% psd p Profile-sync-daemon v5.27.1 on Ubuntu 12.10. Daemon file /var/run/psd is present. Psd will manage the following per /etc/psd.conf settings: browser/psname: chromium/chromium owner/group: graysky/users sync target: /home/graysky/.config/chromium tmpfs dir: /tmp/graysky-chromium profile size: 46M

I have the same now
So the above output is good. But for some reason it tells meCode:user@user-desktop:~$ service psd status * profile-sync-daemon is running user@user-desktop:~$ psd p /etc/psd.conf: line 18: chromium: command not found Profile-sync-daemon v5.24 Psd will manage the following per /etc/psd.conf settings: browser/psname: chromium/chromium owner/group: user/user sync target: /home/user/.config/chromium tmpfs dir: /run/shm/user-chromium profile size: 77M browser/psname: firefox/firefox owner/group: user/user sync target: /home/user/.mozilla/firefox/xixrznrk.default tmpfs dir: /run/shm/user-firefox-xixrznrk.default profile size: 189M
As far as I know everything in the .conf file is as it should beCode:/etc/psd.conf: line 18: chromium: command not found
Also I think that there is something missing here. Isnt there? Or am I wrong?
# List browsers separated by spaces to include in the sync. Useful if you do not
# wish to have all possible browser profiles sync'ed

# Possible values:
chromium

That error is caused by you modifying the instructional section of /etc/psd.conf - add a # to those lines to fix; you only need to define the browsers of choice in the line that starts with, "BROWSERS=" - the commented part before it is purely informational.
As an aside, you have tried running profile-cleaner? 189M seems kind of big to me.
That is normal. On my box:
Code:% mount | grep tmpfs udev on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,mode=0755) tmpfs on /run type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,size=10%,mode=0755) none on /run/lock type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,size=5242880) none on /run/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev) none on /run/user type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,size=104857600,mode=0755) % df -h |grep tmpfs tmpfs 401M 736K 400M 1% /run

Ok. So I ran the profile cleaner from your other thread. Cleaned out some mess and I think this is better is it not?
One final thing.Code:user@user-desktop:~$ service psd status * profile-sync-daemon is running user@user-desktop:~$ psd p Profile-sync-daemon v5.27.1 on Ubuntu 12.10. Daemon file /var/run/psd is present. Psd will manage the following per /etc/psd.conf settings: browser/psname: chromium/chromium owner/group: user/user sync target: /home/user/.config/chromium tmpfs dir: /run/shm/user-chromium profile size: 78M browser/psname: firefox/firefox owner/group: user/user sync target: /home/user/.mozilla/firefox/xixrznrk.default tmpfs dir: /run/shm/user-firefox-xixrznrk.default profile size: 102M user@user-desktop:~$
That is correct, is it not since I need to define a user.# USERS="facade happy"
USERS="user"
.
