LXDE Forums

I am a linux. Newbie tech oldie. I am using Lubuntu 14.04.

When i select preferences - default programs for LXSession, and click on the autostart, I am able to add manually nm-applet and get it to start at boot.

I also would like to run a bash script at boot. I have tried adding just the script file with its full path. I have also tried /bin/bash with the full path and script. Neither of these works.

April 29. I tried moving the script to /usr/local/bin which is in the path for root and me. Then I put only the scriptname in the autostart entry. That did not work...

is your script marked executable?
does it do what it should when you execute it manually?

Yes and yes

there's a new gui i am not familiar with yet.

and trying to play with it, i find it sucks.

so, remove anything you managed to add there.
remove your script from /usr/local/bin.
try adding the script with its full path (somewhere in your $HOME, please) to $HOME/.config/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart.
