hi
i am very new to ubuntu i am working my way thought the step by step guide but have came across a problem trying to assign the VNC script to a runlevel after i have put in the following command update-rc.d StartVNC.sh defaults i get the following information:
george@ubuntu:~/MyScripts$ update-rc.d StartVNC.sh defaults
update-rc.d: warning: /etc/init.d/StartVNC.sh missing LSB information
update-rc.d: see <http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts>
Adding system startup for /etc/init.d/StartVNC.sh ...
/etc/rc0.d/K20StartVNC.sh -> ../init.d/StartVNC.sh
update-rc.d: symlink: Permission denied
I hope someone will help me!

Hello and welcome to the forums

Try instead creating a cron job to run the script rather than assigning it to a run level. The guide for that is further down that page.

If someone would Still like to Assign the VNC script to a run level, you can.

I successfully did it by following this info from here: https://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts
This will remove the missing LSB error. Then you have to edit your command line within your script to run as your user and not root. it will ask for your password when you test your script but not at startup or reboot.

Here is what my script looks like:

Code: Select all

## BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:          startVNC
# Required-Start:    $remote_fs $syslog
# Required-Stop:     $remote_fs $syslog
# Default-Start:     2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:      0 1 6
# Short-Description: Start VNCServer at boot time
# Description:       Enable service provided by daemon.
### END INIT INFO
#!/bin/sh
echo "JOB RUN AT $(date)"
echo "============================"
echo ""

su your_user_name -c "//usr/bin/vncserver -geometry 1920x1080"


~                                                                                                                                   
~                                                                                                                                   
~

Then I updated with this command instead of the one in the guide:

Code: Select all

sudo update-rc.d -f StartVNC.sh start 99 2 3 4 5 .

It will warn you about your stop if you edit your script and leave the stop empty, I just continued and it put in 0 1 6.

Here is another quick guide I used:

Hope this helps some,
