Auto start is not working

[hashemirafsan]

i clone your your project and it's so damn good but you had offered for auto start command but it doesn't work

[Hikari9]

Oh no. What's your desktop configuration? Please comment result of:

lsb_release -a

[Hikari9]

Also, does the output toggle between Autostart switched off and Autostart switched on in the terminal when you run comfortable-swipe autostart?

I have the same issue, I run it with sudo if that matters at all. The message yelling whether it's on or off works, by the way. My lsb_release -a:

Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
Description:	Ubuntu 17.04
Release:	17.04
Codename:	zesty

I would've installed 17.10 but it gave some error so I switched back to the last version.

Maybe implementing #7 would solve the issue, and BTW I think it would be better 👍

[Hikari9]

For now, autostart only works if you did bash install without sudo. I'm still figuring out how to do systemd service with libinput, still tracking some problems since not all variables are present in PATH in systemctl...

If anyone has good grasp about systemctl services and willing to contribute, that would help greatly!

@hashemirafsan @paveltrufi Please check out PR #15, if it fixes the issue. Instructions on how to test are located there. Thanks!

Sorry, I was not able to finish the systemd service for this. I know this issue is old, but I want to report some updates.

A workaround I'm thinking of is to add sleep in the startup application before booting comfortable swipe. Try running this and tell me if it works:

mkdir -p ~/.config/autostart
echo '[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Exec=bash -c "/bin/sleep 3 && /usr/local/bin/comfortable-swipe start"
Hidden=false
NoDisplay=false
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true
Name=Comfortable Swipe
Comment=3 or 4 touchpad gestures' > ~/.config/autostart

Closing this because autostart is now working as of v1.0.1. Please check out the repository and perform the installation steps again.

Hi. I'm sorry but I don't use this program anymore. I'm glad you were able to solve it anyway!

this worked for me, thanks!
(I had autostart not working on v1.0.4)
