How can I get firestarter to start when kubuntu starts

Asked by gazmania

Instructions in Launchpad to start firestarter on startup, are for Ubuntu or Xubuntu. Not for Kubuntu. Kubuntu usually starts any programs at startup that were running when the OS was closed down. This is not the case with firestarter. Can anyone supply "how to" specific for Kubuntu?

Hello

If you want an application to run at startup create symlink for that application putting it in the folder:

/home/your_username/.kde/Autostart

For knotes, as an example, you would do this:

ln -s /usr/bin/knotes /home/your_username/.kde/Autostart/

for firestarter:

ln -s /usr/sbin/knotes /home/your_username/.kde/Autostart/

(bin is replaced by sbin as it starts in administrative mode)

Regards

Bhavani Shankar.
