[SOLVED] how to load vncviewer at startup

lgiancri · 11-27-2014, 02:05 PM

Hi I'm trying to load "vncviewer -listen" at startup but putting it in rc.local or .xinitrc didn't work. How do I automatically run a program after the window manager has been completely loaded?
thanks, lgiancri

Desktop Environments commonly have a startup option. It can usually be found in the control center called "Session," but it may be called something else.

Most window managers have a way to start programs on start-up. In Fluxbox, you add the program to your ~.fluxbox/startup file.

Which DE/WM are you using?

rc.local will be executed by root, something you probably do not want

try ~/.kde/Autostart/

Ok I got it!
In every users home there is a .kde/Autostart directory. I put a simple bash file in there and vncviewer loaded neatly after kde.
Thanks everybody for helping.
