I always have a terrible time getting apps to autostart on AppVM startup.
Note to self: shut up and read the docs
I use a google search and come up with a variety of protocols, some referring to an rw location, others to '~/.config/autostart`.
To top it off, I struggle to find the .desktop file.
I can’t be sure, and I can’t be sure if its a Qubes issue or a Linux issue, but I swear the relevant locations have changed, and I know that for some (e.g. firefox) the names of desktop files have changed.
(I don’t understand why the find / -iname [name] doesn’t find .desktop files, either).
Can someone point to THE protocol I should be using - I’m just quite confused at the moment.
Also, as a feature request, I would LOVE IT if the Settings panel for an AppVM had an option to add an application to autostart. It seems a logical place (that’s how you set up the application in the menu) and a fairly common task for setting up a qube.
