[SOLVED] Add auto-startup commands

ya_sg · 09-26-2020, 01:04 AM

Hi, I have a backlit keyboard that requires Scroll Lock enabled for the backlight to work.

In Ubuntu 20.04.1, I executed xmodmap -e "add mod3 = Scroll_Lock" in the terminal and then saved the code in the startup applications to make it run automatically on boot. However, in Deepin OS I don't find any option for the startup applications. What should I do here to make the command run on every boot?

Run this gedit ~/.config/autostart/newshell.sh.desktop and add this in the file through a text editor:

Code:

 [Desktop Entry]
 Type=Application
 Exec=xmodmap -e "add mod3 = Scroll_Lock"
 Name=scrollock
 Comment=Enable Scroll Lock
