Thank you for your response. I found that if in the
session manager I
select "Restore previous session" and if at the most recent log out
from that session yakuake was activated, yakuake will be started on
the next log in by the same user, and will open in my home directory.
Yes,
that's exactly how session management works. Is this solution not satisfactory (aside
from
the colors issue)?
This part of your message I do not understand. What
is the "context
menu in Yakuake"?
It the menu you get by right-clicking in Yakuake terminal.
It allows you to set fonts, colors,
etc. Once you've done that you need to select "Save as default" from the
menu. An alternative is
to select "Use Konsole settings" to have Yakuake always mimic Konsole settings
(as the option
name implies).
I tried the following script, called
"yakuake-start", in directory
~/.trinity/Autostart:
#!/bin/bash
yakuake --bg black -- fg green
cd ~
and unchecked the "restore previous session" option described above.
On log in yakuake started but the colour options were ignored.
I actually know
nothing about these command-line color options - can't help here.
Furthermore, the cd command was also ignored; yakuake
opened in the
directory ~/.trinity/Autostart, not in my home directory.
Yes, that's exactly
what you told it to do :-) That `cd ~` is not a command executed in yakuake
but in the shell process that is running the script. If you want a newly opened shell to
start in
a particular directory you can do this by editing your ~/.bashrc. I don't know how to
execute a
script on yakuake start, but I suppose that's doable. Try googling this.
