Start the script at boot about fildem

[gonzaarcr]

A service and a package (that I had in mind) is overkilling. I changed some stuff and it works on startup. Let me know if you have some issue.

Hello. That’s probably the next step. I’m probably gonna do it with a service, I hope all the distro play well with that...

Oh, thank you, I am looking forward to the next version.

Hello, I cloned your Fildem project again, and then reinstalled it again, but there was a problem, as follows:

(Opening vs code everything is normal, but when opening chrome, there is an error below. At the same time, the terminal running ./run.sh is stuck. |||| However, the version of 2020.11.12 I used before is all perfect )
Finally, although you said that you have added a boot, but I don’t know how to enable it. I hope you can tell me.

That bug was added when I fix the electron menus. I don’t know why I can’t replicated it, maybe cache. It should work know with the last commit (bff21c6).

For the start up script I used gnome-session-properties, but it can also be done with gnome-tweak-tools. It should create a .desktop file on ~/.config/autostart/.

Hello, thank you for your reminder. I tried your method, but this is based on the version 2020.11.12. The latest version is not used because of some bugs. However, I still fail when I boot up. I feel so tired now ,details as follows:

1. I first used your suggestion: gnome-session-properties, but: command not found: gnome-session-properties, I checked, it seems to be a gnome version problem, my version is gnome 3.38.1
2. Then, I used the desktop method, but it didn't work (my system is Debian 10 gnome 3.38.1), as follows:
   GlobalMenu.desktop file

(You may be wondering why a copy of the Fildem project file is under the autstart directory, because I found that command.py in run.sh is a relative path)
I can’t do anything, but thank you for indicating that this method can be achieved, thanks!

[gonzaarcr]

I fixed some stuff on the latest vesion, maybe that why it doesn’t work. For example, run.sh has now a cd to fix the relative path and other stuff. I’m gonna download Debian on a VM and see what I can do.

Are you on Wayland or Xorg?

X11, I think it should be XOrg, I don’t think you need to use debian on a virtual machine. In fact, I think you should complete a gnome platform general method. Thank you for your guidance.

[aliuselly]

thank you very much! I updated it today. It turned out to be the reason why I didn’t use the new version. Just because of a bug, I missed the boot function of the new version. It is already perfect. However, I have a problem here. Although the operation is perfect, Why doesn't chrome show its menu?

[gonzaarcr]

Oh, thanks, I just fixed it. I think the fix for Brave broke it.

Nice! Very, very perfect, chrome is now perfectly displayed and used, it will not get stuck, thank you again, thank you! ! !
