Cannot set to start at login

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

I am using Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit desktop.  I installed 
android-notifier-desktop_0.5.1-0_amd64.deb which I downloaded from this 
website.  I successfully paired my phone with the software via WiFi.  When I 
attempted to configure the software to start at login, I got a dialog box with 
the message "An error ocurred while updating startup status."  The logs 
contained the following traceback:

2010-10-24 11:26:54,946 INFO [ApplicationImpl] - Adding to startup
2010-10-24 11:26:54,947 ERROR [ApplicationImpl] - Error adjusting startup

Hope this helps!  Let me know if there's anything I can do to help debug the 
issue.

I installed the jar file from issue 222 and now android-notifier-desktop no 
longer starts up.  Nothing is reflected in the log file.  Perhaps there's a 
32/64 bit issue with the jar file?

Instead of using that jar file, you can just create the autostart directory 
with this command: mkdir  /home/your name/.config/autostart
