[Ray2047]

Thanks. I guess I'll just have to play with it. (Yes, I have tried logging in and out and rebooting. )

this is, what i mean with...

Put the file into

/home/<user-name>/.kde4/Autostart/

..... or maybe that is what you have done  ......  ?

[AS]

may I suggest to change from:

xmodmap Xmodmap-my &

to:

xmodmap /<abslolute-path-to-script>/Xmodmap-my &

substitute <absolute-path-to-script> as required ...

Agreed, but: how do you know where it is actually stored ?  Isn't that just an assumption ?

while i have it here generated
xmodmap -pke > Xmodmap-my

But yes, you can use, maybe

Code: [Select]

xmodmap $HOME/Xmodmap-my &
When ever you will save it in your hidden config folder, you must set correct path, for example

Code: [Select]

xmodmap $HOME/.config/Xmodmap-my &

Not in a hidden file. It is home/user/CapsLock_disable.sh

/home/<user-name>/.kde4/Autostart/

I have it there as a SymLink. Will try actually putting it there.

Read this article from our magazine, under How do I start Wbar automatically upon login? you will found a solution how it should work correctly... I don't use kde4, so i lost here...

where is located the file Xmodmap-my ?

[Ray2047]

I can't figure out ho to get the file in there I can't use copy or save as because the hidden files don't show up. I tried dragging and it wouldn't drag.

edit your script /home/user/CapsLock_disable.sh so it will look like

xmodmap    ~/Xmodmap-my &

also make sure the the symlink:
/home/user/.kde4/Autostart/CapsLock_disable.sh  point to  /home/user/CapsLock_disable.sh
