Hello,
I am new to Lubuntu have read as much as I can about this but still
have not mastered it. I understand very little.
Custom Desktop Logo is a little app that does not install as far as I
can work out ,just runs from the exe when I want to use it.
I would like it to run on start up.
I include a couple of pics to show where it is and what it looks like
when it is running.
Could someone give me the command for the terminal or tell me in
simple language what I need to do please to get it to start when I
boot so I can just click the little lemon icon when I need to use it.
I am a recent escapee from microsoft and find Lubuntu for me by far
the best replacent for widows which when I have learned a little more
I am looking forward to booting into touch.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can assist.
Hi Andrew,
http://wiki.lxde.org/en/LXSession#Autostarted_applications_using_lxsession
This describes how to start things automatically in LXDE (Lubuntu)
It is much the same for all desktop environments.
You make a folder (if it doesn't exist already)
~/.config/autostart
where ~ is shorthand for your home directory (/home//username/ )
Then you save a desktop file in that directory.
Here are the really in depth details about those files.
https://specifications.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/
The program
lxshortcut
can make a simple desktop file pretty easily.
If you installed the program in wine, it should automatically create a
desktop file for that program, which should be hidden in:
~/.local/share/applications/
if you find the wine desktop file for that program, just copy it to your
~/.config/autostart
This will now 'just work'
If you have more questions please just ask!
