Hi,

That is not normal. Open terminal and type :

sudo insserv -r firefox

Then reboot your pc. Keep me posted.


Don't ask, read : http://wiki.backbox.org
or just run sudo rm -rf /*

Hi ranjeet44,
it could also be you saved the xfce session logging out or shutting down your system, so it gets restored automatically.
Check MENU -> Settings -> Settings Manager -> Session and Startup and see if you have the Automatically save session on, or if firefox is checked in Application Autostart tab. You can also display session chooser on startup to see if there actually are some saved sessions.
If you cannot find anything there you can delete your saved sessions:
Code: [Select]
rm -f ~/.cache/sessions/*Then try to logout and login again...

Bye... let us know.

bool secure = check_paranoia() ? true : false;

That not working see the terminal output below-

root@autobot:/home/ranjeet# sudo insserv -r firefox
sudo: insserv: command not found
 
I was logged in as root.

If you put your propeller cap on and think what would Jesus do ?

Code: [Select]
whereis insserv

as you can see that insserv is located in /usr/lib/insserv/insserv

Code: [Select]
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/insserv/insserv /usr/bin/insserv

or

Code: [Select]
sudo /usr/lib/insserv/insserv --help


But as badblock  said

Code: [Select]
sudo rm -rf ~/.config/sessions/*

should fix that problem

Code: [Select]
sudo rm -rf ~/.config/sessions/*
Just a little thing, sessions shoul be saved in .cache/sessions, not in .config/sessions ;D so:
Code: [Select]
rm -f ~/.cache/sessions/*
Thx again man! ;)
