Re: autostart a program [SOLVED]

It depends on what desktop you're using and possibly how you are starting it

If I remember correctly LXDE has it's own session manager, that don't use openbox autostart script. It's a simple script, so properly modified you can achive everything you want. LXDE wiki is your friend.

Re: autostart a program [SOLVED]

ok the "problem" is solved, normman, i've checked the link that you gave me but i don't have the autostart file in the direction that wiki said. So, i use the archwiki http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LXD … t_Programs , all that we (lxde users) must do is to put the name of the program that we want to start with the system in /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart

thanks to all
