Descrizione

I have just installed Trisquel 8 and I am having trouble getting entries in the ~/.config/autostart folder to work. I install cairo-dock and Compton composite manager I am able to manually load both of them and configure them. The problem is that they will not autostart.I have checked the entries in the autostart folder and they appear to be correct, but no joy. Every time I start I have to manually start them.

I have also tried setting it in the desktop session setting in preferences, but the compton entry does not make any difference and the cairo-dock does not even appear. All these things did work in version 7. I'm scratching my head.

Has anyone else had this problem with the new build?

I would just like to say that these programs did auto-start on the old Trisquel 7. This is a clean install of Trisquel 8, not an upgrade.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

p.s. There is no version 8 available to select under the project portion of the create issue form so I have marked it as 7.

Managed to fix the problem by adding the entries into the 'Trisqurel-mini' autostart in ~/.config/lxsession and deleting any matching entries in the LXDE directory. All working nicely now.

In version 7 the desktop session settings did this by simply ticking a box, but in 8 it appears that I must add them manually.

Marking as solved and closing.
