| nondysjunction | Heya I'm trying to execute a few commands on KDE start, how can I automate this? |
| Renze | ~autostart |
| t35t0r | nondysjunction, put them in ~/.kde/Autostart |
| apt | To start a program or set an environment variable at KDE login, see: http://docs.kde.org/development/en/kdebase/faq/configure.html#id2560261 - or, if you want a GUI - http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=45975 |
| Renze | nondysjunction: see above |
| nondysjunction | t35t0r: thanks. |
| wolsni | nondysjunction: in konqueror, go -> autostart |
| nondysjunction | Heya again, Renze. :) |
| wolsni | then you can drag shortcuts or scripts in to the directory easily :) |
| t35t0r | nondysjunction, e.g. i put ln -s /usr/bin/conky ~/.kde/Autostart/conky |
| Jucato | hi Renze! |
| nondysjunction | t35t0r: ~/.kde/Autostart is a directory, what do I do, put scripts in it? I was expecting a file... |
| Renze | hi Jucato & nondysjunction |
| t35t0r | you put whatever you want in it symlinks, scripts, etc |
| Renze | nondysjunction: scripts, desktop files, or symlinks |
| canllaith | nondysjunction: anything kfmclient can execute symlinks, .desktop files or scripts |
| nondysjunction | canllaith: cool, thanks |
| t35t0r | so if i put a jpg in it, that would always show up? like launched by konq? |
| canllaith | No |
| t35t0r | heh boo it has to be executable ok |
| Lanken | konqueror displays svg, right? |
| canllaith | yup if your distribution has svg support |
| nondysjunction | It's weird... my volume knob will NOT work when setup properly, but when i reverse the knobular polarity with Xmodmap, it works fine. Heh. |
| Renze | knobular polarity... sounds kinky |
| Lanken | what distribution would lack svg support? I have a pretty normal gentoo install. |
| Renze | Lanken: check your USE flags |
| Lanken | konqi doesn't have a use flag for svg in gentoo |
| Renze | Lanken: how about KDE in general? Lanken: I have "svg" in make.conf, and svg works fine |
| redtricycle | 3 |
| Lanken | Renze: it's hard to say for kde in general. I started from kdebase-startkde, and that has no svg flag. I did emerge -pv kde | grep svg, and nothing came out, but I don't know if that means anything. |
| Renze | Lanken: I see two possible causes then: 1) missing svg use flag, and 2) incomplete install of KDE |
| Lanken | incomplete install of kde sounds likely. I intentionally tried to start with the bare bones. |
| Renze | Lanken: no, you started with what gentoo considers to be bare bones there is a difference |
