Startup Settings

There is no handy tool to control startup in GNOME 3. If you want to add a custom command to startup, you have to create file ~/.config/autostart/file.desktop manually. This simple program written in C++ and GTK 3 provides user friendly graphical interface for startup managing. The program is designed especially for GNOME 3, however it can also be used in any other desktop environment.

Installation

If you are using Debian/Ubuntu, you can install the application from package

For amd64:
wget https://github.com/hant0508/startup-settings/raw/master/debian/startup-settings-amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i startup-settings-amd64.deb
For i386:
wget https://github.com/hant0508/startup-settings/raw/master/debian/startup-settings-i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i startup-settings-i386.deb

If you've installed the package, you don't need to build the program from source code, go to usage.

Building

• Installing dependencies
  Debian/Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install g++ make git libgtk-3-dev
  Arch/Manjaro x32: sudo pacman -S gcc git make gtk3
  Arch/Manjaro x64: sudo pacman -S gcc-multilib git make gtk3
  
• Building
  git clone https://github.com/hant0508/startup-settings.git
cd startup-settings
make
• Installing application
  sudo make install

To save the disk space, you can delete all the downloaded files and dependencies after the installation.

Usage

After the installation you can find the program in application menu or run startup-settings in terminal.

Enter startup command into the Command field. It can be:

• full path to file: /usr/bin/file.sh
• relative path to file in your your home directory: scripts/file.sh
• command from $PATH: firefox

Depending on the window manager, you can also use drag-and-drop. GNOME 3 allow even drag and drop files.
