Plasma Autostart of scripts no longer works
Posted: Mar 6th, '21, 17:30
I am running Cauldron, which just did a huge update of 982 packages. After the update, none of my autostart login scripts run when I log in. I have six scripts that are supposed to run at login. They run QT programs that I wrote.
The Autostart program, gkrellm, runs normally at login, but none of the scripts run.
I can run my scripts successfully from a Konsole, and I can run them from my Desktop links as well. So the scripts and the programs are working fine. The scripts are super simple, for example, here is one of them.
My repositories are still set to Cauldron
My inxi data
Any hints about where to look for this problem would be welcome.
Thanks
Banjo
