How to autostart apps with sudo priviledges

[maulynvia]

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!:confused:

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

Whats wrong with Sudo crontab -e
@reboot /usr/bin/jupiter

????

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

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



# 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:

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.


%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):D

It should have been configured when the package is installed, weird.
