I have done numerous restarts and I have completely shut down the computer and waited 20 secs before restarting. Both have not autostarted the layout correctly, while everything else seems to work fine. I do not have the "save sessions for future logins" checked.


Interestingly, I just tried adding a screenlayout.sh link to the rc.local file to see if it would work that way......it did not. The screenlayout.sh is marked as executable and launches fine when double clicked as before.

This used to work fine when I first tested. However, this computer rarely gets turned off....so it has not been tested in some time. I am not sure if some update has broken something.

Are you logging out proper, because xfce has a session feature. And it may not be executing the startup apps if your session is being restored rather then starting up fresh.
The Truth is out there.
Be sure to check the Manual out and always report Bugs or feature requests.

How are you launching it, with xfce session? If possible can you take a screen shot of the entry for the screenlayout.sh file? Should be as simple as making sure it's executable (altho you mentioned clicking on it works) and putting the line
Code: [Select]
sh /home/usernanme/screenlayout.sh in the command field.

Hi folks,


A while back I was trying to solve a dual screen layout issue and ARandR was the perfect solution. It has been working wonderful for many months now. However, this morning we had a very short power hiccup......now my ARandR layout will no longer autostart. I have re-opened the app, recreated the layout, saved the layout as screenlayout.sh (just like it was before). Still no luck. I have also removed and recreated the autostart link again within Sessions and Startup.......again no luck getting the layout to work after reboot.


I know the screenlayout.sh file works.....as double clicking causes the screen to switch to the correct layout. Any ideas why I cannot get it to autostart anymore, when it worked fine before????


Ken
