Bug ID: 467619
Summary: Autostart applications after network is ready
Classification: Applications
Product: systemsettings
Version: unspecified
Platform: Manjaro
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_autostart
Assignee: nicolas.fe...@gmx.de
Reporter: magardner...@gmail.com
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
When I add programs such as discord or steam to autostart I have to wait for a
network failure before the application can run as it should. This seems to be
due to things in the autostart list taking priority over whatever systemd does
to bring up the network. Obviously this may be desirable in some situations and
not others.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add discord to the autostart list in systemsettings.
2. Reboot.
3. Despair for a few seconds while discord fails to connect.
OBSERVED RESULT
A network error followed by a countdown to reconnect is shown.
EXPECTED RESULT
Discord should load and auto login as specified within the software.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Manjaro Linux
KDE Plasma 5.26.5
QT 5.15.8
Graphics Platform X11
Other thoughts:
I think adding advanced options to autostart that allow you to specify sleep
timers, waiting for the network, etc could be extremely useful. Additionally,
the ability to set the order of launch for autostart applications might be
useful in some situations. Currently they load in alphabetical order by
default.
