How to autostart fusuma in the background on login?

[Rodancoci]

I'm running Unity on Ubuntu 17.04.

So far I've been manually running $ fusuma & disown And then closing the terminal, which works well enough.

However, I wish I could get fusuma to run by itself whenever I login. I've tried adding the command 'fusuma' to Ubuntu's "Startup Applications" without success. Upon rebooting and logging in neither fusuma nor ruby are running.

Any suggestions?

@Rodancoci

You can find correct path with below command.

$ which fusuma

then please register the path you found and try restart.

[Rodancoci]

I tried setting the full path output by $ which fusuma As the command on the startup item but I got the same result.

Launching the full path manually from the terminal after logging in works, however.

Please record log and check it on your environment. path/to/your/fusuma -v > /tmp/fusuma.log restart your machine, then cat /tmp/fsuma.log

I managed to get it working how I wanted. What finally worked for me was adding the following line at the end of ~/.profile: /home/usr/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.4.0/wrappers/fusuma & disown

Thanks @Rodancoci for the help. I got it working with the following command. printf "$(which fusuma) & disown \n" >> .profile

But .profile doesn't feel like the natural place for this command, even if it works. I'm pretty new into Linux, but wouldn't it be better if the application created a script in init.d? Then it would be more of a plug n play application.

[iberianpig]

@kontrollanten Oh, that's a nice idea. Could you make the pull-request?

[kontrollanten]

I'm new into both ruby and Linux. But I'll give it some tries.

@Rodancoci in a more user friendly way, you can use startup application preferences to start any software you want at user login.

For example, I added firefox, slack and fusuma in order to start those three apps when I login.

I am using ubuntu 19 When I add fusuma to startup applications It doesnt work. However when I run

sudo fusuma &> dev/null

It works perfectly.

I tried this one

and this one:

Neither works, i think because it doesnt accept sudo but I dont know how to fix!

[iberianpig]

Please try adding $USER to input group and configure autostart without sudo.

[JafarBadour]

I am not sure how is that possible? how can I add $USER ?

[iberianpig]

Please read README.

[JafarBadour]

Yep this worked for me, thanks!!

Autostart (gnome-session-properties)

Check the path where you installed fusuma with $ which fusuma Open $ gnome-session-properties Add Fusuma and enter the location where the above path was checked in the command input field Add the -d option at the end of the command input field

what is the meaning of -d ? also does it work on xfce4?

[JafarBadour]

I think -d is for detached mode @athulkrishna2015
