Title: Auto login
Post by: mbertrand on July 18, 2012, 08:58:12 AM

We have a control program built in QT to run on x. I need this program to automatically start as the main program instead of tiny cores desktop.

What would be the best way to auto login and achieve this?

Edit .xsession and replace the "$DESKTOP" line with your replacement.

Problem, I replaced the $DESKTOP with name of my program with full path and now I have a black screen with blinking caret

OK, I moved my touch screen lines back up and after waitforx

So now my application is running on boot with touch screen enabled. But I just realized that when I close my application I'm at the Tiny Core desktop I was expecting to be at a prompt. I'm I running my application over the desktop?

Yes, you are running your application over the desktop. (I'm assuming that ~/.xsession looks about like Reply #7 on your machine.)


This:

Quote

Xvesa -br -screen 1024x768x32 -shadow -2button -mouse /dev/input/mice,5 -nolisten tcp -I >/dev/null 2>&1 &

starts Xvesa.

This:

Quote

[ -x ./.setbackground ] && ./.setbackground

configures the root pane.

This:

Quote

[ $(which "$ICONS".sh) ] && ${ICONS}.sh &

starts wbar if it is installed.
