Re: Auto load archassistant with sudo permission
would it load with sudo privileges then?
I mean would I be able to change rc.conf etc through archassistant without password?
Also isnt rc.local for non X programs? Archassistant needs to start after X loads

Re: Auto load archassistant with sudo permission
rc.local won't work because that's boot time and archassistant needs X.
what you do is run
sudo visudowhich will open a vim session. Hit 'i'
Add this to the bottom:
your_user_name_here ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/archassistantHit 'ESC' once
Hold 'Shift' and press 'Z' twice to save your changes
Then add "sudo archassistant" in your KDE4 control panel to startup applications. It may be under "Sessions" or something. I don't have KDE4 so I can't tell you exactly.

Re: Auto load archassistant with sudo permission
Wouldn't archassistant need kdesu?
