LXDE Forums

I installed LXDE over Mandriva Gnome. I installed parcellite clipboard manager but can't get it to autostart. The instructions I found involved a parcellite.desktop file and I don't seem to have one of those. In fact, I noticed in the wiki that the instructions for editing the menu said there should be a .desktop file for each app in the menu, but I only seem to have 1 .desktop file, even though I have a lot of stuff in the menu. Anyway, is there a way for me to get parcellite to start automatically?

Edit the file /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart
Add, in the end of the file, the line: @parcellite

The file /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart is the file that load the applications on startup on LXDE.

Hi

Right, or you can create "~/.config/lxsession/LXDE/autostart" and put it there, this way you don't need root access and it's only loaded in your account, if you have more than one accounts on the system.

I had already tried this and it didn't work, so then I tried @parcellite -d (because I saw that on another forum) and it still didn't work. What am I doing wrong? This is what's in that file"

@lxde-settings
@xscreensaver -no-splash
@lxpanel --profile LXDE
@pcmanfm -d
@parcellite -d
