Problem getting applications to autostart at start up
Hi,
I'm running Lubuntu 13.10 on a desktop computer.
I want Wuala and Ubuntu One to launch automatically on start up. ("Connect automatically when computer starts" is checked in Ubuntu One client, but even so it does not start automatically). I have dropped their desktop files from /usr/share/applications to .config/autostart, but this doesn't help.
What else can I do to force them to start automatically?
Many thanks.
Re: Problem getting applications to autostart at start up
Things have changed in Lubuntu 13.10.
Edit ~/.config/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart.
Add the appropriate command on a separate line to the end of the existing file. If such a file doesn't exist, create it with Leafpad or nano.
This is my autostart file:
Code:
/home/vasa1/.dropbox-dist/dropbox
/home/vasa1/bin/cpu-usage-alert.sh
Note that there's no need for the older way of dropping .desktop files into ~/.config/autostart. That doesn't work anymore.

Thanks, that's given me a clue. Unfortunately, I am unsure how to formulate the commands to open the applications I have mentioned. Can anyone tell me?

I don't use either. Let's hope someone who does comes this way!

For UbuntuOne, the command is:
Code:
/usr/bin/ubuntuone-launch
I don't use Wuala, but according to the documentation, this should work:

Thank you. In the meantime I found the general answer here, and copied the Exec commands from the .desktop files:
