Cant get Conky to Autostart
I have tried using both methods, fehconky and adding the fehconky script to my autostart folder (I had to create it.. ~/.kde/autostart) and adding the autostart line in my .conkyrc file... but it wont autostart.. can I get some help?

Re: Cant get Conky to Autostart
The autostart folder needs to have the name "Autostart" (first letter is a capital). Be sure your starting script is executable.
chmod a+x yourscriptnameLast edited by moonfish (2008-10-13 20:36:55)

Re: Cant get Conky to Autostart
Bump
Creating the proper folder didn't work.. I tested my script and it worked ok. Do I need to do something to tell Arch "Yo, this is my autostart folder, look in it to start my crap up"? Considering its a custom directory I dont think Arch knows to look in it on startup.

mkdir ~/.kde/Autostart

mv script.sh ~/.kde/Autostart/

Re: Cant get Conky to Autostart
Hmm for some reason its working on its own.. I guess if you want to test a startup script you have to shutdown Linux and turn it back on.. rebooting doesnt do the trick which was what I was doing.. thanks though!

Re: Cant get Conky to Autostart
Ok um.. now I have a weirder problem.. I was trying to delay conky starting up with Sleep commands but that didnt work.. so I deleted my fehconky and conkylink file to disable it completely.. but it still autostarts?!?!?! Is there a way I can completely blow out conky and feh and all associated files then start again from scratch?
