Re: [SOLVED]autostart.sh is No Longer Autostarting Programs

interesting, i wasnt aware of the changes with the new version

Anyway

I went ahead and copied the environement file to .config/openbox

and changed the autostart.sh to just autostart

Still no luck, the programs are still not starting with the system

I did notice theres an autostart folder now. my autostart is located in .config/openbox, would moving it make a difference?

Wouldn't it be a lot simpler if you tried it before posting? Then you could report back with it (does||doesn't) work, which would be more helpful...

Re: [SOLVED]autostart.sh is No Longer Autostarting Programs

Can you list the files contained in /.config/openbox, there should be 4. Can you also post the contents of the autostart and environment files.

You dont have to be so rude, ofcourse i searched, thats why im posting, because i tried quite a phew fix's and nothing seem's to get it to work

The 4 files contained in the folder are autostart / rc.xml / environement / menu.xml

the contents of autostart are listed in the first post

As for environement, its all default, i have yet to make any changes there.

Re: [SOLVED]autostart.sh is No Longer Autostarting Programs

@nankura
In your first post (and in the thread's title) you mention autostart.sh which had a name change and you didn't say a word about what have you already tried. This would lead me to think you haven't searched before posting. We're not mind-readers so unless you share some info with us, we won't know about it.

that's why all the lines after that one are not launched.

Re: [SOLVED]autostart.sh is No Longer Autostarting Programs

First up, i apologise for my rash behaviour, i was rushing and stressing and didnt fill in as much information as i should have in the first post.

Thankyou for helping me though guys

In the end, berbae. the & was the problem. it was a silly silly mistake i made while editing the config a phew days ago

Thanks all
