Startup desktop [Solved]

Hi

When I log in my computer always start with desktop 2. How to make that desktop 1 instead of desktop 2 ?
Using pcl kde distro from 2012 fully updated.

Create a file called  wmstart.sh   with the following contents

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/bash
# Start at first Desktop
wmctrl -s 0
Place the file in

~/.kde4/Autostart     

folder.

Make the file executable.  (EDIT)

That should do it.

Hi Just17

Thank You for reply. - I made the file and placed it where it should be. I logged out and in but but still started in desktop 2.
Then I rebooted but the problem seemed to be worse. Because it took a very long time - several minutes - until the desktop
appeared. And still desktop2. What was very bad I could not start the programs at all - not even a terminal. Panic arose.
- I remembered that I have downloaded and burned the latest distro a couple of days ago. - So I installed the new distro
and I left my home partition untouched. Booted which also took several minutes until the desktop appeared - in desktop2.
Distress and panic! I still could not start programs. Then I remembered that I once made a live USB with pcl on it.
I booted the usb and could update it fully. Then I could remove wmctrl.sh. Furthermore I deleted some caches and other files.
Booted from the hd again, still on 2. I made the the wmctrl.sh again. Put it back. Booted still on2. - No good.
I have different wallpapers on 1 and 2. And still it takes a horrendously long time to boot. - I then introduced a test user and if I log in on this user boot time is normal and and everything ok. - So something must be wrong in my normal home I guess.

I forgot one thing ......  sorry ........  you need to make the file executable for the command to execute

That does not account for all the stuff you have written ....  only that the file did not execute.
