Title: [Solved] OpenBox autostart not working when adding other programs
Post by: WoodenStone on September 26, 2020, 10:41:06 PM
Editing the openbox ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh and adding applications does not work and said apps are not launched

You don't say which version or architecture you're using, but did you load the openbox-config extension?

I'm running on the 32-Bit version and did you mean obconf, because there is not openbox-config package that I'm aware of

It’s in the 64-bit repo

Hi WoodenStone
The 32 bit version already contains the contents of  openbox-config.tcz.  For some reason the Tinycore scripts were
split off in x86_64.

Could you post the contents of your  ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh  script please.

Hi WoodenStone

split off in x86_64.

Could you post the contents of your  ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh  script please.
Here is my autostart.sh

Code: [Select]
# This shell script is run before Openbox launches.
# Environment variables set here are passed to the Openbox session.

aterm &

# Set a background color
BG=""
if which hsetroot >/dev/null; then
    BG=hsetroot
else
    if which esetroot >/dev/null; then
BG=esetroot
    else
if which xsetroot >/dev/null; then
    BG=xsetroot
fi
    fi
fi
test -z $BG || $BG -solid "#4f5f82"

# D-bus
if which dbus-launch >/dev/null && test -z "$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS"; then
       eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session`
fi

# Make GTK apps look and behave how they were set up in the gnome config tools
if test -x /usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon >/dev/null; then
  /usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon &
elif which gnome-settings-daemon >/dev/null; then
  gnome-settings-daemon &
# Make GTK apps look and behave how they were set up in the XFCE config tools
elif which xfce-mcs-manager >/dev/null; then
  xfce-mcs-manager n &
fi

# Preload stuff for KDE apps
if which start_kdeinit >/dev/null; then
  LD_BIND_NOW=true start_kdeinit --new-startup +kcminit_startup &
fi

# Run XDG autostart things.  By default don't run anything desktop-specific
# See xdg-autostart --help more info
#DESKTOP_ENV=""
#if which /usr/local/lib/openbox/xdg-autostart >/dev/null; then
#  /usr/local/lib/openbox/xdg-autostart $DESKTOP_ENV
#fi

Hi WoodenStone
Please use  Code Tags  when posting commands and responses seen in a terminal. To use  Code Tags  click on the  #  icon

Hi WoodenStone
The first line in that script says:

...
Code: [Select]
# This shell script is run before Openbox launches.

 ----- Snip -----
To me that says this is the wrong place to launch an application since the window manager is not running yet.

Try this:
Code: [Select]
echo "exec aterm &" > ~/.X.d/Autostart
Then restart X.
