Why you have in /home/luis/.config/autostart/ wbar.desktop?

This will firstly start, before your wallpaper is loaded.

Remove it from there, and wbar will correctly work (most of time)

Hi Daniel,

Why you have in /home/luis/.config/autostart/ wbar.desktop?

I don't know...

I deleted wbar.desktop but now wbar doesn't run.

I restored the file.

[Vorteggs]

Ha!
Seems my thread is about the same...
http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php/topic,109823.0.html
I have no wbar.desktop file in my autostart subdirectory and wbar didn't started unless I did those changes.

Aleph, you could try the same as I did and delete the wbar.desktop file. After that logout-login and see if it works.

Now out of interest I copied the wbar.desktop to my autostart subdirectory and have the same dark field around the wbar panel. Wbar loaded two times - immediately and seven seconds after desktop appears. After that I deleted wbar.desktop and it loads normally without this dark field.

P.S. I noticed in Synaptic history that last updates included lxautostart.

Hi Vortex,

it doesn't work .

For my is diferent:

---> file /home/"me"/.config/autostart/lxautostart.desktop
line
Exec=/home/guest/.config/lxautostart/lxautostart.sh
Exec=/usr/bin/wbar

and

---> file /home/"me"/.config/lxautostart/lxautostart.sh
The permission of this file was "Execute - Nobody Anybody"

[daniel]

I get scared ...
 

Reinstall wbar, and lxautostart, but before try

Code: [Select]

rm /home/"me"/.config/autostart/lxautostart.desktopand

Code: [Select]

/home/"me"/.config/lxautostart/lxautostart.sh
Change "me" in your current user name.

Hopeful it will solved your problem...

Daniel

Hi Leiche!

I'll try this out of interest in Monday, at my machine at workplace.
Tomorrow I am not there at work.

[Aleph]

Hi Daniel,

Code: [Select]

rm /home/"me"/.config/autostart/lxautostart.desktop
This code deleted the file

and

Code: [Select]

/home/"me"/.config/lxautostart/lxautostart.sh
I get this error:

Code: [Select]

[luis@localhost ~]$ /home/luis/.config/lxautostart/lxautostart.sh
/home/luis/.config/lxautostart/lxautostart.sh: línea 34: cpufreq: no se encontró la orden

I reinstalled wbar, and lxautostart. I will wait for the results...

[Vorteggs]

Command "rm" means "remove".
Leiche thought you new it

Better then remove in such cases is rename, I think.

[Aleph]

One more time the black background... 

[daniel]

One more time the black background... 

and again your lxautostart.sh

Code: [Select]

cat $HOME/.config/lxautostart/lxautostart.sh
You have some mistakes on your latest post, so i thought you to remove,
and reinstall.

See here

Hi Vortex,

it doesn't work .

For my is diferent:

---> file /home/"me"/.config/autostart/lxautostart.desktop
line
Exec=/home/guest/.config/lxautostart/lxautostart.sh
Exec=/usr/bin/wbar

and

---> file /home/"me"/.config/lxautostart/lxautostart.sh
The permission of this file was "Execute - Nobody Anybody"

the Exec line link to /usr/bin/wbar.
How can work then the autostart script?

To get back your current autostart script try

Code: [Select]

Checks the permissions on lxautostart.sh...

And check you have not saved a desktop file under /etc/xdg/autostart nor
/home/YOU/.config/autostart.

If then wbar starting with black background, so
set the time to start wbar higher as 10

cpufreq &
##############
sleep 10 # or higher #
##############
wbar &
 
Good luck

I Daniel,

I think the problem is solved, but I will wait a few days.

I did this:

- I changed  the file ---> file /home/"me"/.config/autostart/lxautostart.desktop
line Exec=/usr/bin/wbar for
Exec=/home/guest/.config/lxautostart/lxautostart.sh

- I changed the autostart scrprit adding

Code: [Select]

##############
sleep 10 # or higher #
##############
wbar &

I did this on my laptod and my netbook (he had the same problem)

Both are running well for two days but I'll wait a few days more...

Regards

Exec=/home/guest/.config/lxautostart/lxautostart.sh

Unless your own account is named "guest" this line is pointing to a not existing place in your system so this shouldn't invoke lxautostart.sh
In this case if wbar is loaded then some another procedure is loading it at autostart.
