Hi All, I'm asking for your help to make an autorun of an application when UDOObuntu starts. Actually earlier it was easy to do on Linaro Ubuntu OS just adding a line in the end of /etc/rc.local script. But now it looks like UDOObuntu v.1 does not launching rc.local at all. Any thoughts?
Re: How to run application automatically when UDOObuntu star Hi, you wont run a script or an application with GUI?
Re: How to run application automatically when UDOObuntu star extream96, Yes, you are right. Actually, here is the answer: 1) How to run an application automatically once the Udoobuntu starts Open the file manager, go to /usr/share/applications. Right-click on the program you want to be added to your autostart programs, and click Copy. Now, go to ~/.config/autostart, right-click and click Paste. The program should be added to your autostart programs now 2) How to run a script on startup Put the lxterminal in startup folder the same way as it was described before. Open it in leafpad and find a line with Exec command. Change the line to: "Exec=lxterminal -e bash /home/ubuntu/Desktop/my" where 'ubuntu' is a user and 'my' is a script you want to execute. Last step is to create 'my' script on Desktop using a leafpad text editor. A small hint: some time required for udoobuntu to run all processes, so it's better to use "sleep 7" command in your bash script to wait for 7 seconds until you run anything else. I believe that my variant is not the best and there are more easier ways to do the same but i hope it will help someone else.
Re: How to run application automatically when UDOObuntu star Hi, I was just wondering for the solution above, what did u mean by 'open it in leafpad?' what are we opening to find the exec command?
I know this is old, but to clarify, you right click on the lxterminal icon you just copied and pasted, and, in the menu, select "LeafPad" or any text editor entry or "Open With..." and select a text editor. At the bottom of the text that opens you will find the Exec line to change. You may also set the working directory. Mine is like: Exec=lxterminal --working-directory="/home/udooer/any/path/to/script/" --command="./mycommandname"
