Is there a specific menu selection in Trinity to review or select any startup applications?
I'm specifically trying to get hp-systray (HP Device Manager system tray icon) to load in at each login under PCLinuxOS and I'm not seeing any menu selections specific to startup applications. nor anything under either Trinity Control Center or PCLinuxOS Control Center.
The Preferences in the HP Device Manager show it is set to 'always show' and it will display in the PCLOS panel once the Device Manager is manually launched, but at the next login, it doesn't load.
In my Trinity Debian and Ubuntu Trinity installs, it loads in at each login.
Thanks in advance.

Did you try ~/.trinity/Autostart ?

Hi Thierry,
I did not initially try that, but I solved the issue.
PCLinuxOS provides this as a separate package: hplip-systray, which was not installed by default with hplip. Once installed, it loads in at each session now.
Debian and Ubuntu do not offer this same package in their repositories, so they must somehow include it another way.
(I just looked in ~/.trinity/Autostart, it is empty.)

Good

Yes. But if you put a link in it, it shoud autostart what's linked. I use it for starting scripts. I guess it should be able to start hp stuff (Debian does not seem to have hp-systray and I don't need it because all my printers are postcript).

Hi Edward, there are three places.
1) TCC -> TDE Components -> Service manager 2) /opt/trinity/share/autostart as it has already being mentioned. Here the desktop files usually are already updated by the apps, in most cases 3) there is a package called kcontrol-autostart-trinity that allows you to setup additional programs. After installing int, see TCC -> TDE Components -> Autostart manager
Cheers Michele

Hi Michele,
Thank you for this information. I am not seeing a package 'kcontrol-autostart-trinity' in the repository with the PCLinuxOS install, but there is a 'trinity-kcmautostart' package ('Manage applications automatic startup' is the description). Looks like it might do the same.
The issue (resolved) turned out to be specific to PCLinuxOS, not with Trinity.

Hi Edwards, likely to be the same package. Since you mentioned you were on Debian, I pasted the debian package name ;-) Cheers Michele

I am running four Trinity installs now, PCLOS (host) and Debian and Ubuntu in VirtualBoxes on one PC and Debian on the other PC. It was a PCLOS issue, unrelated to Trinity, resolved. :)
