No autostart airvpn on Ubuntu ?

[pimp 0]

Hi All!

 

In installed the latest version of AirVPN beta,

Unfortunately AirVPN must be started manually everytime Ubuntu boots.

 

I already checked the checkbox, but no autostart..

How can I fix this?

 

Many thanks!

According to From Windows 7 to Linux Problem, you only did half of the work.

 

Maybe, How to autostart airvpn session using Ubuntu server 12.04 could also help you, but this thread is older than the Eddie client.

Airvpn comes with a .desktop file. Mine is located at /usr/share/applications/AirVPN.desktop  Just copy that over to either ~/.config/autostart/ or /etc/xdg/autostart/

 

You can read more here: https://specifications.freedesktop.org/autostart-spec/0.5/ar01s02.html

 

Either that or you could use a startup script (this is what I do) or add it to the one your using if you use one (I don't run Ubuntu (I run Arch Linux with openbox wm) so not sure how this is setup there). Hope that helps.
