How to startup a GUI Console Terminal with boot.local
 

Hi im not a complete noob but i am having trouble with a startup issue i want.

This will be running on Suse 10.0 and then im gonna put it into Knoppix Live CD.

i want to start up in runlevel 5 (GUI) and have a command line console / terminal open up on startup every time and inside the console i want a bash file to run with my personal bash script
what can i put in boot.local? or am i wrong right from the beginning?

Thank you

It won't work from boot.local, since that script runs as root before you enter the grahical system (and before you log in).
Instead, put it in $HOME/.xinitrc:
xterm -e /path/to/script &

ok i can not seem to find the /home/.xinitrc file
is it suppose to be made in home or is it found in the rc.d or init.d directories?

$HOME/.xinitrc = ~/.xinitrc = /home/you/.xinitrc

Thinking again about it, I don't know how kdm/gdm works so i'm not sure if it uses .xinitrc. I boot into runlevel 3 and run startx to get into gui

yea it didnt work
