Hi!

Can anyone tell me how to get some apps to start when the computer starts up? In particular, I'm wanting Dropbox to start when I boot up. I believe the app would be the following shell script file:
/home/username/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd

Thanks!

Hi,

have a look at "~/.config/Autostart" and "~/.config/lxsession/LXDE/autostart". You'll also find the some useful information when trying out the forum search.
