"Automatically launch when i turn my computer on" on Ubuntu doesn't work.

[antoine-morisseau]

OS: Ubuntu 16.04

Issue Descriptions: The application doesn't start at the opening of my session when i start my computer.

Steps to Reproduce: Get a Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. Create a account. Install the application, activate the option, restart the computer and login.

I asked on gitter if anyone could reproduce on Ubuntu and the user @GreenTurtwig could reproduce the issue. (the discussion is here : https://gitter.im/MarshallOfSound/Google-Play-Music-Desktop-Player-UNOFFICIAL-?at=5888711ce836bf70108bf7cc )

@antoine-morisseau Is there a .desktop entry for GPMDP in ~/.config/autostart

[antoine-morisseau]

Yep there is a Google Play Music Desktop Player.desktop file in the ~/.config/autostart folder. Here is all the values :

[Desktop Entry] Type=Application Vestion=1.0 Name=Google Play Music Desktop Player Comment=Google Play Music Desktop Player startup script Exec=/usr/share/google-play-music-desktop-player/Google Play Music Desktop Player StartupNotify=false Terminal=false

I'm guessing it's because /usr/share/google-play-music-desktop-player/Google Play Music Desktop Player isn't escaped (there are spaces). Can you try manually escaping that path and rebooting 👍

[antoine-morisseau]

yeah ! it start correctly now ! But it generate another issue about the icon on the unity bar. It's not the google may music but the google icon. i can attach a screenshot if necessary.

@antoine-morisseau Probably because their is no Icon property in that desktop file. I'll look into fixing this in node-autostart at some point 👍

By the way, with now GPMDP starting at launch, could be a new option that launch minimized to tray when the application start at the computer turns on ?
