Autostart GUI app on Ubuntu and Raspberry Pi
This is a quick reminder on how to start a gui app on the Raspberry Pi or other linux desktop.
This example is for "Barrier".
-
Create a directory for desktop config files to go into.
mkdir -p ~/.config/autostart
-
Copy the desktop file for the app you want to autostart into the above directory.
cp /usr/share/applications/barrier.desktop ~/.config/autostart
All done.
