Hello,

Can somebody tell me how to start applications on startup Fedora KDE Plasma 39 ?
Please "step-by-step" : I am not an expert !

Thanks in advance for your reply.
Best regards.

did you check the official documentation? https://userbase.kde.org/System_Settings/Autostart

Yes, I tries this several times, but no success.

in that case would be nice to describe what did you try exactly and what's happened. "no success" can be solved only in line 42.

normally just placing a script in ~/.config/autostart/ will do the trick

Hello John VV,
Witch script you mean exactly ?
Want Brave browser an Thunderbird to start at boot.
Thanks for your reply.
Best regards.

you cannot start at boot, first you need to start GUI (X server) and also you need to log in.

Hello,
I found the problem and, at the same time, the solution :
autostart is only working in X11 and not in Wayland, which is default in Fedora KDE Plasma 39, which I am using !
Anyway, thanks for all your suggestions.
Best regards.
