Re: How to run script after login
Hmm,
The only way I seem to be able to make lxde to do something when logging in is to put an application starter in /etc/xdg/autostart
I tried to put a script call zz-my-computer in /etc/X11/Xsession.d
containing just one line;
/bin/mkdir $HOME/Desktop/test
I tried without $HOME also, giving a specific path the user has write access to, just to see if that was the issue. I also tried adding #!/bin/bash on top of the script, but to me it looks like Xsession is running the scripts in Xsession.d as though they are parts of one script. then that should not be necessary.
I also tried chmoding the script +x, but that should not be necessary either, if Xsession is doing the actual "run".
then I tried to add;
sh /usr/local/bin/my-desktop.sh
That script works if executed by the user after logged in, but does run by the entry in /etc/X11/Xsession.d
Have you tried this on lxde? I dont know why it doesnt work.
Greetings /George
