Hello,

Cannot autostart apps after boot. Tried 3 methods:

1) used gnome-tweak-tool and added app to autostart there - no luck;
2) used /etc/rc.local to provide path to app I need to autostart - no luck;
3) used .config/autostart - put myprogram.destop file there - still no luck.

What could I be doing wrong?

Best regards,
Vadim

Are these programmes, or services?
if the latter, use rcconf
I wish I could you give you my simple solution for programmes,
but I use openbox, not gnome.

Good luck,
Tony

It would help quite a bit if you would let us know which version of 
debian you are using (i.e. wheezy, jessie, stretch, etc.). Personally, I 
have not had this problem at all running jessie. Also, check your log 
files to see if there is anything in them that might explain the problem.

Thanks for reply. I have managed to solve the issue today. Tried to create
desktop file again and managed to succeed. Not sure now why it had not
worked for me for the first time.

Thanks to everyone who did their best to help.

  This will help you next time you want to create a desktop file:

http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html#basic-format

Each field is important in the file.
