autostart not working
Posted: Thu Mar 26, 2009 9:35 pm
Hi there,
I'm struggling to get the autostart working for some applications. Let me take skype as an example. I wish skype to start at login. So,
But this doesn't work. Strangely there are applications that work in a similar way, such as gnubiff and xmodmap. (But, for these, their .desktop files aren't symbolic links. I forgot where I got gnubiff.desktop. I created xmodmap.desktop myself.)
If you visit .config/autostart with PCMan and double click on the files, each one of them works. That means the files are correct. I also tried .config/lxsession/LXDE/autostart/ without success.
Could someone help? I'm using LXDE 0.3.2.1+svn20080509-5 on the testing distribution of Debian.
Cheers,
Ryo
